    birkenstocks: yay or nay

    A definite NAY! In Sweden, the only people who wear them are nurses on duty and other people in indoor "walking about jobs". I've never seen anyone in Sweden wearing them as street shoes. Sandals are just plain ugly.

    That is really gross. Why would you bring a bird to the vet? A cat or dog I could understand, but a bird? Gross? Why do you consider it gross? Measured against what? I think hunting is gross!

    Old & re-found photos

    This was taken before I moved away from TN. I hit a bird with my car, picked it up while it was injured and took it to a vet. The bird died on the way, so I put it in a box and forgot about it for 2 weeks when the stench reminded me. I called a friend and we decided to give it an authentic...

    ok, what would get you to become violent?

    Someone stepping to my girl. Someone stepping to one of my boys. Someone being a ***** (not a ***** in the sense of havin' a *****, but a ***** because someone's tryin' to **** me) "Someone stepping to?" What the hell does that mean? Speak proper English please! And you'd hit someone who's...

    This is the right way of pronouncing SOB
