This reminds me of a blind date? Bernadette was wearing black baba woolen earmuffs and cracking and spitting Open Saloon some hot spiced free crab legs with Jam & BBQ chicken wings for OS brunch.
I hope this get a lot of swell rates. Ya hit the nail on a bunny rabbit tale. Ya must have a great psychologist who quotes Burp? Oscar the Grouch? Kurt? Ya deserve the prettiest pony with a waging mule ass tale.
Mohawk?
A Saudi land-rover?
A clean white starch- t-shirt advertisement for thumb wrestler champion. What a marvel lost idea. I'll put peanut butter for ears on my beer run errand?
In need of a cool beverage?
But wormwood plants for brew?
Maybe I'll collect bottle caps for you?

Happy belated birthday, Monsieur Lauerman. And I just have to send some thanks your way – because of your continuing efforts at making Open Salon the special place that it is, I met a marvelous group of people in (real-world) Las Vegas this weekend...
