Am I wrong for wanting to kick a field goal with him?

They had them all over southeast Asia, they even have them down south in places.

(3,574 posts)On a youtube video, doing a standup routine before she was "discovered"...I think it was in the '80s. She looked like a real starving artist, she was very funny in a heartwarming way... she was joking about having toshop at the dollar store, and taking items home noone else would buy because they asked her to "be their special friend"... Flo is one of the 99%. I feel sorry for her having to work for pricks like Progressive. Look, they are already trying to replace her with a "Flobot"!!!

all mine.
and we could do the two-step all night long
after eating steaks
and drinking beers.
I would even do the big hair thing just for my little gecko
and Grovelbot could come too.
what a party that would be.
oh dear.
perhaps, I have shared too much
unionworks
(3,574 posts)Shall I kick the Gecko to you.
You have not shared too much.
I found it heartwarming.
