I wonder what Hairy, Nom=de-Plump, et al will post to justify the
bow.
Don't really care since they are banished from my computer.


It must be nice to be totally happy with being ignorant of foreign
customs, where you can criticize Obama for not being as ignorant as you
are.

Typical, unfortunately.

Please tell me how someone, anyone earns the honor of me showing them
subservience.

I bow to no man, or woman (Plum).


You wish.


His wife snaps her fingers and he immediately heals and apologizes for
whatever he might have done. If she's not happy with him, he
immediately goes to the closet and drags the vacuum out. If she's not
happy when he's done vacuuming, he washes the dishes, dries 'em and
puts 'em away. I can't tell you what's next, she's sworn me to
secrecy.


Do you think Bertie has his own frilly apron?


And a bonnet.

I'm not sure but isn't it the tradition at the opening ceremonies that
the American flag is not lowered when passing the host leader? I
wonder if obama will order the flag lowered?
