Geez Crumples, I could have told you that

Crumples said...

Sorry Kahn, next time i will be sure to ask, and believe you first.

I like this very much. It will add to the collective and our posts will grow strong in knowledge!

Besides, it amuses me to see rambunctious on my screen :)

Kahn said...

Excellent, next time I will try to give a real answer. I just hope people ask me the right question cause most of my answers resemble a 16th century house pet somewhat resembling a large chicken with no genitalia

Salem said...

Huh... I always thought you went with either monkeys or chickens as a response. How about that?

Kahn said...

every now and then I bring in Mexicans

Salem said...

How could I forget the Mexicans? I must be slipping in my old age.

All of this makes me want to get some Tequila, my favorite money and chicken duo and a Slip and Slide (remember those)....
