117. Is that what George does? I never could understand what he does.

Wed Oct 21, 2015, 11:06 PM

Oct 2015

And I really like Canadians. Generally speaking.

But, hell, Manny and you (and bmus and the fabulous frylock and fumesucker) are way, way beyond me in the humor department.

So on your recommendation, I'll try to appreciate George's special brand of satire from here on out.

So make me laugh, George! Live up to your reputation.

(and where do you get those cutie smilies, merrily?)
