And it happened in Greencock Reformed Temperance Hall...  =D

BTW.. dunno... I get called a dirty, bloodthirsty barbarian because I think people use too much cosmetics, wear too much underwear(any) and public impalement or whippings are woefully underused punishment... but a skidmark?

That's like majorly disgusting.

Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

Actually, a serious Texan accent make me lol.  I suspect it'll cause no end in trouble if I'm ever stopped in Texas by their highway patrol and then giggle upon hearing the accent..

The only accent I find funnier is the Louisiana one I think.

Have to go back and look up the co-efficient of friction to see how fast the groom was sliding off her lap based on the length of the skid mark.

I'm 37 years old and I can honestly say that the only word of that bunch that I have ever used is whiskey.  I, however, am a bourbon drinker.  Keep'em.
