let's send these two English language lovers on a Love Boat cruise together
perhaps a meaningful fulfilling communicative relationship would come out of
a week of being roomies and slurping bubbly together
there are no winners in Global Thermonuclear War, not even corpses
smoke the peace pipe and argue something technical

Yup. I guess you can call me white trash, or a hillbilly as I'm darn proud
of it. If you don't want to share this, I do. Maybe the whole list can get
know you better.

***It isn't the spelling that's hilarioius - it's the Poor White Trash
grammar and sentence structure.
Who ever taught you that "when I seen the prices" is anywhere close to
correct or "got to looking"? It's not about being in class, it's about what
you think you represent. An educated, knowledgeable person, you don't.

You could wear a Hartschatner and Marks Brothers suit and you'd be
considered a slouch as soon as you
opened your mouth.>>>> Just don't know these days,>>>> BestWell, I didn't
really want to poke too many holes in you, that's why I didn't post this on
the public list. But you might consider picking up a book on grammer if you
care. If you don't care, then no biggie. Your off-topic postings are what
keeps AMPS from being a "must read" for me, though. I don't have as much
time as you do.
