great deal! Wondering if your comme ci, comme ça approach to music applies to your golf swing.
Levi, you know it.
D - the book would be graded as “very good” by a bookseller. Not a library copy, from someone’s private collection.

Yeah isn't that crazy? Especially when I use the same source for both. Go figure
Much has to do with my dyslexia and hair trigger laptop single click button. All I have to do is have my finger near it and it goes off, don't worry about it. I feel fine.

I've wondered...is it better to beat a live horse? Seems like a violation of the animal's rights either way.
Seems like it!

You don't have a laptop so you can be a skeptic, it's ok.
Sure hope that this is all perfectly spelled, good gamer, no riddles, no personality.
Since we here are under such strict censorship, while exercising lovable "oneupsmanship".
Finding fault is such an exhilarating social sport.
Love it!
O, U think U R sooo Smrt. I mean “Smart.”
$10 monopoly money for the first person who gets the reference.
I’d give it a try for some real cash,
darn, hoping that I spelled it right.
On needles and pins here!
Oh man I forgot to cap the d in darn, hoping y’all can find some forgiveness in your hearts. The spelling whining bs has opened up a whole new can of happiness

Homer Simpson: "I am so smart! I am so smart! S-M-R-T! I mean, S-M-A-R-T!"
i forget which episode.
personality can come as much from, if not moreso from, the content of what's being said, as opposed to spelling and syntax.
Google got it, I didn’t have the heart to cheat and post that I knew it. I’ve never watched the simpsons, only glanced at it a couple times.
no google-ing here. simpsons, family guy, i’m probably going to get it. anything else, forget it.

You are one dedicated simpsons guy.
I thought I had seen them all, but drew a blank

By the way, tell all us no-longer live, viable rockers how the gig went?
