I love your list! So the other night I was having dinner with a 50ish hippy from the bay area. I decided to do my political affiliation test on him. "A's or Giants" I asked. Didn't surprise me when he said Giants. I replied, "Then you must be a democrat." "Yes," he said "what are you." My answer..."A's."
For the record:
I am not (and will burn in hell before I'll ever be) a Republican.
The End.
Dude, I love this list. You have such great taste smurf... I especially liked number 69. :) :) :) And the fact that it was number 69....ha! You rock.
Didn't you get the memo, Smurfer? All non-Republicans WILL burn in hell. Seriously. God votes Republican. So does Jesus. What's wrong with you?
I'm going to hell, too?! I couldn't see you saying that....*sigh*
That of course means my mom is, as well.
Smurf, I noticed the new barbed addendum to your side note of "I'm happy." Very nice.
