I agree with Born Tired, no matter if if I wanted a Dr. Pepper, Sprite, Coke, or Pepsi, it was always .... "give me a coke". I don't know how I always got what I wanted. I guess our family always spoke the same language.

Down here we have "coke" machines.
It doesn't matter what's in it, it's still a coke machine.

Same here and NEVER a (shutter) Pepsi machine.

Still waiting for 'kitty corner' 'katty corner' to spark the same level of passionate debate ....

Ah, so that's what "acquiescing" is!!! NOT! (it was hysterical, though, I have to admit)

Hi Jere,

That almost looks like a picture of me. No hair, bulging eyes, big gut, short legs. At least the toe nails are clipped straight across.

Thank God my head is a little bigger. Can you imagen REM sleep with those big eyes and little head - you could easily break a neck.

PS - Just curious, what kind of mask does you friend use? Custom I think.

soda, pop, sodapop, popsoda, spodaop, ppodoas, coke, potato pataattto, tomato, tomaaato!! They are all right!!! or perhaps we are all wrong! Personally we could all just ask for a "Beverage".....

I feel like I am watching an episode of Seinfeld. Or was it Steinfeld?

By the time I got to neversleeps' link it had become forbidden.

I found the picture on:
http://www.junglephotos.com/galapagos/g ... tml#165172

And then I could get it on the original link. Weird.
