The world is going straight to hell, As I'm sure you all have seen. Seems there's bad news everyday, Rapes and robberies. It's not safe out on the street, It's unsafe to be alone. Nasty obscene language, When picking up the phone. We once could leave our doors unlocked, Secure and worry-not, But now that would be ludicrous, You'd surely end up robbed. It's because of that damned internet, I read it yesterday, They really need to censor it, There's just no other way. I don't know how we'll ever stop, The smut from near and far, And all that porn I saw last night, On my V-C-R! [This message has been edited by Toerag (05-02-2003 08:11 AM).] |

Toerag, I seem to be reading a bit of irony in between the lines... Yeah, I liked the way you talk about the immorality of society, and then go on to casually point out that you were doing some immoral things yourself too. Very much enjoyed! _,,,^.^,,,_ |

You been watchin' Jerry Springer again, sweets??? LOL The unlocked way of life lives on... but I think it's confined to smaller communities now... and I fear it's only a matter of time before hoodlums decide to expand their reach. I like this very much, Toe... perhaps even more because I know how well the title does describe you. *G* But now dontcha be talking bad about the internet, ya hear? *G* After all, it gave me my best friend. *S* |

Scorpio......since I entered "Retox" I've been able to spell all kinds of things.....LSD, THC, MGD, PDR, VD, I.Q., and even Scorpio.....although for quite some time I thought that was some drunk newscaster saying the score was P to 0?....but I can hang in there with the best of them...do you know the phone number for 911?...I need it quickly, to get an ambulance to take me home from this bar.... |

Toe, well lookey here who I see two days in a row. It's good to see you, friend. And it's a delight to read you, too. I like to read your replies and responses to them, too. Hugs, Ethel |

Haha! This is a really funny one, totally caught me off guard... 3/4 of it makes you believe it's serious than bam! I personally love using this technique in my work as well, as you so clearly demonstrated here - it's effective! Nice work. -matt |
