5 guys/gals who rule
5 Comments:
1. How Jared got his start.
2. Incompetant government agency? Isn't that redundant?
3. Weekend at Larry's.
4. You mean someone making $30k/year can't afford Hearst Castle?
5. You mean Rosie O'Donnell didn't CAUSE the "stinky, slippery trail"?
6. French police would've laid down their arms.
7. Her lawyer definitely left a slime trail.
8. Yet we still won't allow new drilling in Alaska or the Gulf of Mexico.
Riiiight.. there's no global warming... not at all....
1. He was just trying to go legit!
2. "Hey guys, these pumps aren't going to work in a storm!" "Install them anyway"
Idiots. Ever get the feeling they're trying to make New Orleans go away?
3. "Mr. Euglon?? Mr. Euglon?? Hey, have you seen Mr. Euglon?" "No, but there is this HUGE piece of beef jerky in his house!"
4. Another reason for me to be hesitant about buying a house... the bank will F you any way they can.
5. Chicken fat, chicken fat, chicken fat pie!
6. LOL, he tarred himself to his roof. Now, where's the feathers?
7. I hate when people use mental illness as an excuse for stupidity.
8. Everyone stop driving for a week! Don't go to work! Cripple the government! Cripple the schools! Cripple the work force! Make them all listen to us by stating we're not going to deal with it!
4) Got the same over here. I'm nearly 50 and the bank would give me a 95% mortgage on a £400,000 home if I wanted one. I couldn't repay it. I know it they know it. The worlds insane.
Um, if #5 isn't explanation enough as to why I refuse to step foot in a Walmart, I don't know what is.
PS: Hope your mom is doing well (smile).
