You have too make things VERY explicit for him/her to get it–and it's really not worth the trouble.
The Cut & Paste Queen James McPherson!
James are you just sorry or is it that you are just simply so lazy that you choose not to post a comment so you cut & paste?
Gotta give a dork credit where credit is due. I think he's afraid of that Cougar he's hung up on.
Lol! Great comment 1oldcoyote2!
James must be talking about a Mtn. Cougar?
