Beer out of the can! That sweet little gal you sent me is on my desk wincing.

I don't yet own a cursive Remington. They're mighty hard to find so count yourself fortunate, even if Babs is a little unrefined. With that beautiful script she could pass for a lady down here.

Many do.

Picture?

Left the memory card at home, like a doofus. Will retrieve shortly.

So...pretty...

Monda said...

Ohhh, ahhh...

Careful! She's going to get all big-headed on me now. Amazing what a little sunlight and fresh air will do for a girl's complexion (and "Vivid" mode on the camera to enhance that natural beauty.)

I'd like to point out that she was photographed on my fence. You see what I did there, with the visual pun? Hilarious.

Mike, in all truthfulness, 95% of the time, you're the funniest typecaster.

This is not one of those times.

Speegle! That was a total facial disgracial (Mike C., since I believe you are more or less exactly my age, tell me you remember that phrase).

Word verification: Pregadab: another way of saying "a little pregnant"

Oh, don't get me wrong, the bit about Babs was pure gold. But the bit about the fence on the other hand...

Of course, I have no room to talk. I was going to make a joke about my "impressions" on crayoncasting. Ugh.

@Speegle: LA LA LA, I CAN'T HEAR YOU.

In fairness, the picture came before the typecast, and spurred the idea for a topic. It was a nice day outside, and I like Duffy and Monda's "typers in the wild" photos, so I took Babs out to play.

@ST: did you also make your hand into a sort-of claw and shove it into my face as you said it? That's how we did it back in middle school. I don't recall the "disgracial" part, but then I gerw up Back East, and that aspect may not have crossed the Rockies. But yes, you've taken me right back to age 12, thankyouverymuch.
