cyber**** is a liar. It has not written on "numerous" occasions about
visiting Italy. Try Googling for yourself to see the extent of the lie.

Pray tell, what exactly is an "Italian mindset"? As for cyber****'s Italian
acquaintances, it seems obvious that cyber**** is lying again.

What would REALLY look good on cyber**** is a body cast.

maybe as far as food goes, but for all-american nutso excess, thanksgiving
doesn't touch jesus' natal day. at least one poor schlub was trampled to
death on black friday.

I can't believe I let T'day slip by without even giving it a thought!
I usually crave it and the kids remind me to make it anyway. We went
elsewhere to eat so that may have had something to do with the
momentary lapse. Well, same time next year!

And he was at work too. Didn't somebody say there was a financial

No, no, you have to let it age in the fridge for several days and *then*
throw it out. If you open the lid of the container and it is still
identifiable it has to go back in the fridge. If you'd have to shave
the contents and submit a sample to a lab to try to determine if it's
animal or vegetable, then you can throw it away.

I can't let stuff rot/grow in the refrigerator. I am too squeamish. After
3-4 days, it is gone, if it is prepared leftovers.

And others *do* blake, IIRC a certain Chicago - area poster in particular
ridicules the cyberpussie's "cookery"...as does Sqwertz, among others.
There are more, and in any case many have her killfiled.

What the cybercrock should do is at *least* try to emulate "Jimmy Tango"
when she posts her patently ridiculous food stuff, but she simply lacks the
humour chops to do so...

I mean, I think she was actually *serious* when she posted in another thread
that her turkey stock tastes like "dishwater"...

I actually pity the poor gobbler who eventually ended up in her stock
cauldron, what a terrible way for a noble fowl to end up...!!!

And besides her food - related posts, there is her generally k00ky - and not
in a *good* way - behavior in general. But I'll demure and not dredge up
any of that in this post...

:-)

Thanks for replying to that. I've had Cybersplat KFd for a quite awhile,
and I wouldn't have seen this cute observation without it! LOL!

Truth be told, Bob is not much of a drinker and quite the lightweight
were imbibing is concerned.

Now, the eyes ... I can't argue with you there! The devil is in the eyes
.... ;-) I rather like them!

Your humor impairment is noted. You do not speak for everyone.

He looks like a fat, mean-spirited old ****. Which is what he appears to be,
judging from his posts.

He posts like a drunk, he looks like a drunk ... chances are, he's a drunk.
I tended bar for years and I know 'em when I see 'em.

You're a very cool lady, Lin, and you're a great addition to rfc!

At least Bob is being honest with his appearance and not trying to be some
type of superman, which he is (-:

He's changed lately, that's for sure.

No need to. Her fat **** SO is ****ed over an old argument I won because
he's an idiot. Now both of them want to flame, well, fine. They put their
pics up there, they deserve what they get.

If you claim to be able to recognize a drunk and claim I fall into that
category, you have proven yourself both to be a complete idiot and a
complete liar.

Feigning to be passed out at the bar in the hopes that men will have their
way with you does not constitute tending bar, liar.

You are a mud-flap-sporting, promiscuous, lying, bitter, worthless,
pretentious, drug-using, alley-scabbed, pox-ridden guttersnipe with
delusions of adequacy. You have the mentality of your closest kin, the
greasy rats nosing through garbage in the hopes of a prize. When you die
within the next few years, nobody will mourn, least of all your dissatisfied
husband -- but he'll undoubtedly breathe a sigh of relief because he'll
FINALLY be able to get your stench out of his clothes.

I don't have to worry about that anymore. I have a hubby that's very
vigilant in tossing leftovers. He'll only eat leftovers once or twice for
most things so anything that he hasn't eaten in about 4 days goes. We tend
to have a fairly empty fridge. LOL

But you are wrong. Cat has been to Italy several times. You just want to
portray her as stupid, but your peurile name calling rebounds on you

From what I see here, you have a lovely wife. How does she see your foul
mouthed attacks? If you don't like Cat, surely the adult thing is to ignore
her?
