RE: Olympic Squabbling Gold Medalists ... that made me laugh out loud and brought to mind a great Woody Allen line (that I can't remember all of) from <I>Zelig</I> about Leonard Zelig's parents who were beaten up, then beat themselves and the kids up in the closet... yeah, I know, but it's really funny when you hear it in the movie.<BR/><BR/>Argument #392,548,992 as to why we're glad to only have kids of the 4-legged variety around the house. Hmm... there's a thought ... have you considered a kennel for TB? heheIowa Victory Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220818462081082930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-37340482511492579732007-11-17T22:40:00.000-05:002007-11-17T22:40:00.000-05:00FM!
