OK, now this is funny:

Quote :

"A portion of the proceeds benefit Sister Slippers"

I click on the Sister Slippers link and I find:

Quote :

"Ephesians 6 vs 15 …. And may your feet be fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. The Sister Slippers Foundation, Inc. seeks to provide new shoes to children in need. Driven by a Bible verse and a dream, Sister Slippers collects donations of new shoes and monies to purchase new shoes to distribute to children in need. "

7/23/2008 12:17:57 AM

hmmmm....

7/23/2008 12:20:31 AM

we ordered our tickets last week... I hope it isn't outrageously hot for it (they are expecting very high, very sticky weather that day)

if everyone who said they were coming with us does, we should have a good 25-30 people out there... that's a bunch of drunk idiots

7/29/2008 7:23:44 PM

something tells me at least half of them go strictly by their last names.


drunken idiots seem to do that.

7/29/2008 7:25:48 PM

i don't know many people that go by their last name

other than saps

7/29/2008 7:27:10 PM

ahh. must be a virginia thing.

7/29/2008 7:27:59 PM

unless they have a funny last name that can be turned into a good nickname

ie: buben --> "boobs"

7/29/2008 7:30:40 PM

btt

7/31/2008 2:22:39 PM

ttt
