Without class maybe. If you were called a rube, especially by a Jew .... it wasn't cool. What you think about, you do ... what you do, you become. In a nation where anything goes ... eventually, everything will. We're almost there.

Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

That lets a pool cue hot the cueball, and so forth. These premises insured by a Sheltie in Training ,--- and Cooey.o "May the Good Lord take a likin' to you"

Means the same thing though. Speaking of which, do you blokes know of Wallace and Gromit?
