<p>Singing <em>and</em> dancing. My family would totally disown me.</p>
<p>I am so sorry to hear the bad news, Mootmom.</p>
<p>But Mootie, think about this. Aren’t you REALLY GLAD now that TFSFH decided to take the killer merit scholarship for college?</p>
<p>Not to say that you are in any way denied access to full moping privileges.</p>
<p>Oh, mootie, I’m so sorry to hear your bad news. I rarely frequent SA, but did today after posting my miserable news in another thread. Here’s hoping for good news soon, for you & yours & me and everyone who needs it.</p>
<p>Barkeep–bring out the good stuff. A round of shots for everyone—and make mootie’s and o-mom’s a double…triple…whatever. 
By the way, ladies—I’m looking forward to seeing your rant on the “Say it Here…” thread…you need to vent. Just remember that CC doesn’t allow swearing!</p>
<p>astrophysicsmom,
Waddya mean?? We can say all the !@@##$ !@@#@$%% )((&*^& words we want! :D</p>

<p>jym, that list is hilarious. Love it!!!</p>
<p>Say what?!! I swear, you swear, we all swear for underwear…or, something like that. Especially in the Alley. Just to make sure, I went back and checked our beloved founder and resident bartender’s original rules for SA, and as far as I can tell, it’s bombs away, folks! Just be sure to disguise your love of profanity with lots of #'s, %'s, *'s, and my personal favorite, !!'s. Pretty much anything above the number keys will work. </p>
<p>It’s our dodd-given right to cuss in the Alley. Plus, it’s fun. And, as parents of teenagers, it’s actually our responsibility to speak the language of the creatures, so that we can reach out and effectively communicate with them. When a 14-year old lets loose with, “You guys are both b#%@!es!”, it is entirely appropriate to respond with, “Oh, yeah?! Kiss your #@%*ing computer goodbye, young man!” 
</p>
<p>The Preamble to the Sinner’s Alley Constitution
*We, the Sinners of College Confidential, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, survive Parenting Teenagers, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish that we can cuss in Sinner’s Alley. Because if we can’t, our #@!ing heads will blow off. :D</p>
<p>Now, get me a goshdarn beer. I have to go to a company Christmas party tonight, and it’s time to start getting good and liquored up. What time is it?..10:15 a.m. Good enough. ;)</p>
<p>she’s baaaaaaaaaaaaaack!</p>
<p>slugg, you made our song a few pages ago… :)</p>
<p>jym - that was soooooo funny! Thank you for posting it.</p>
<p>Ooo, it’s an honor, SB! Yes, I do regale. I just wrote a post about my regaling escapades this year at Nordstrom’s, but it’s lost forever in cyberspace. When I hit the quick reply button, I got an adminstrator’s notice that I needed to log in – which I already had – twice. #@%!!<em>%#!!@</em> </p>
<p>Despite my superhuman sleuthing and search skills, I was unsuccessful at retrieving my post, so I’m going to sit in the hot tub and sulk. :p</p>
<p>^^^ Jym’s list and DeniseC’s YouTube will cheer me up. Mootie, this one’s for you:</p>
<p>[YouTube</a> - Here Comes Another Bubble - The Richter Scales](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi4fzvQ6I-o]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi4fzvQ6I-o)</p>
<p>Oh sluggie how nice to see you here.</p>
<p>We have popcorn strung over our smoke-darkened beams as decoration. In honor of your doves in Vegas.</p>
<p>Thanks, Alum! Nice to be back. 
Later, I will post this year’s winner of the Christmas cards. Pretty Lady and Old Dude (and all of their cats) have been deposed as the most likely holiday card senders to make my fillings crack.</p>
<p>SluggB,</p>
<p>I see your Christmas Youtube video and raise you a Led Zep Christmas mashup…</p>
<p>[YouTube</a> - Yuletide Zeppelin](<a href=“http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCXuyIXOj08]YouTube”>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCXuyIXOj08)</p>
<p>OMG SLUGGY THAT IS TOTALLY HILARIOUS!!! And totally right on. I’ve shown it to my Web 2.0/3.0 family members and it is definitely a keeper. Thanks.</p>
<p>EDIT: Oh my, m&s, that is almost too much! But Zep is never too much.</p>
<p>Just happy to put a smile on the Mootie face…</p>
<p>And with the set of YouTube videos from the last 24 hours, you’ve all put smiles on the Mootie-H’s face, too, so… THANK YOU one and all! MWAH!</p>
<p>And now I’ve made my “get it off my chest” post, and DONE WITH THAT! </p>
<p>On to the rest of life!</p>
