Good or bad, we'll let you decide...

Has no one learned anything about picking up old rings in streams... my precious...

"... I wouldn't mind another drive by smiling."

"I need a date to a wedding. Rather than asking random people on the street, I thought I'd start by asking random people on the internet."

A gentleman always assists a lady in crowd surfing.

"I also don't have the balls (duh, I'm female) to talk to you."

Not an usual posting -- except for the gender of the person posting it.

There really are all sorts of bros now.

"About you: You are smart, funny, and resilient to a bad hair day."

Apparently the woman he was buying jewelry for didn't stick -- the woman he was buying jewelry from did.

We have apparently misunderstood the entire Jack and Jill story.

I wish his opponent ... had provided more detailed background in his candidate statement regarding his credentials beyond his family's love of he library and his professional work as an environmental scientist. However, there were no swastikas so I'm voting for the candidate without swastikas.
