Those were da days.

There's hope for you, which is why I dragged you out of the gutter and made you my ward and chief minion ;-) <<Did God ever call Oral home for not raising enough money?

Marilyn was quite proud of the Super WalMart, so I just kept drinking and let her talk. The people are so gosh-darned friendly there ... even if you look ...

Loew's opened up right across the street from it last Dec. Progress, bleeps!
