She probably had an earpiece with one of her handlers saying, "look cute, goddamnit, look cute! Think about your Creasy Bear from Man on Fire..."<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, Tom Cruise is slipping her pamphlets on Scientology and telling her Children's Tylenol is an evil created by monotheist worshipers.<BR/><BR/>I can't believe you provoked this many comments.

If I’d taken a split second longer, I would have caught it.<BR/><BR/>Coffee is evil. Nothing good can come of it. <BR/><BR/>Cadiz: 62 now and counting… and only like 40 of them are mine! Pretty sweet! The P.P. thing is my idea of a lame joke. I like to acronymize things into what I consider funny outcomes. It stands for the “Pinacle of Padding” comments. There’s another ridiculously long string of comments back and forth between myself and A on her blog. If I’m at my computer and I get a comment email, I can’t ignore it. It’s the chance for a good conversation to me, so I would be remised if I passed that up. I do love the chit chat, though I’m really quite shy in person. Sometimes it’s easier to type things than to say them.<BR/><BR/>I would like to hear how the Urdu is pronounced. I have no idea what the rules of speech are for that language, so I can’t even really begin to sound it out.<BR/><BR/>And by the time Dakota turns 18 I hope to be married with kids and so unbelievably in love with my wife that no one else would dare put a sparkle in my eye. (I am an unrealistic, hopeless romantic.)<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, you just got yourself 10 points ;) Nice detective work.

(it sounds dirty; maybe i don't want to know) <BR/><BR/>4) at first i thought dakota had bad *invisible* braces, but now i just feel bad for her because she's probably got to hold on to that grill for another few years till the tooth fairy takes her teeth. <BR/><BR/>just watch out jon, you're going to feel like a dirty old man when she's 18 and gorgeous and you're sweating her.cadiz12https://www.blogger.com/profile/03739358553844884552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11343809.post-1118637455583697282005-06-12T23:37:00.000-05:002005-06-12T23:37:00.000-05:00I do that with emails sometimes.

I type everything in MS Word because I’m a terrible speller, therefore to maintain some sense of intelligence and dignity, I spell check everything I write. Doesn’t always work out though. But when I typed the : ), Word automatically made a spiffy little happy face for me, but when I did the cut and past into the comments, it didn’t translate. Ok, really gotta go now.
