  1. Thought about doing this but it would just look like bragging or an outright lie. And what’s with all the Europe stuff anyway? Aside from having lots of old buildings, I wasn’t all that impressed.

    Les, I don’t think anyone would think you were bragging or lying if you said you’ve played in the mud. Now, if you said you did such 3 days ago with all the Hooters Girls, then it might be bragging or…well, it would be bragging.

    As for Europe- I’ve no clue. No place in Europe has ever been on my Top Ten Places To See list.

  3. What? I thought that was a family restaurant now. I wouldn’t wrestle in the mud with girls from my family. Where do you think I’m from?

    So what are a couple from your Top Ten?

  4. See, you walked on the beach by moonlight and tripped. I’d do the same thing, and I refuse to clean sand out of my pants. YUCK!

    (I’m so sorry about your friend.)

  5. Oh, and every time I read Black Forest, I wanted cake!

  6. Hell, after seeing Les’s reply, I guess everybody thinks I’m a liar :-) However, I’ve got pictures :-)

    Of you skinny dipping?

    :-O You’re a shameless hussy NFO!
