Hmmm, Sancho can't decide.

Only four votes? It's almost the middle of the month!

Yes, we are half way through the competition and having only four votes is really disappointing.

It says you have to have 100 posts to enter or vote, it has allowed me to vote so have the rules changed ?
Maybe if a few more members know they can vote now they will.

‘Zounds! It’s mi buena amiga, Sounds! – Hey, gur-fren. ¿Cómo estás frijole? (How you bean?)

After last month’s adventures in gluttony, I’ve had to swear off the cookies for a while and hit the GYM! I’m afraid I didn’t have the time earlier to sit down and give an honest reading to these stories – not that I’m a particularly well qualified judge anyway –but it’s been a crazy-busy-weird month.

You see, as of late, I have unwittingly found myself at a HUGE Army post in central Texas, working much too hard, with a bunch of guys who more-or-less dress the same, and who have a great affection for only one adjective in the language. Hint: it starts with ‘F’ and is as versatile as it is fun to say. They also like to use it as a verb, a noun, and when directed at me – a pronoun. If it were somehow expunged from the English language tomorrow, American soldiers would be unable to communicate with each other.

That’s a true story.

Ack! Scher!

Temptress!

I can’t…no, really, I can’t…Hmm…Well, maybe just one…One itty-bitty, itsy-bitsy cookie won’t hurt. Will it? Urr…Umm, I’ll just work it off at the gym, a couple extra laps, a couple extra reps, ought to do the trick. Yes excellent. WAIT! I just thought of something. Two is only one more than one. Right? May I have two, please? Wait, wait, WAIT! Ooo that smell. Can’t you smell that smell*…that fresh-baked Toll House Cookie aroma. I’m thinking three isn’t all that many more than two…You know what? I’m going to eat them all. I need to carbo load anyway before getting my sweat on.

Yo, my buddy, well, I hope you've been doing some laps for me too. I am currently eating on the beautifully decorated toffee pecan three layer cake I bought for easter, it has tons of icing and is terribly dry; but cost so much and looks so pretty I don't have the heart to dump it...
Hey, I know that word...it should be the first word in the dictionary because it works equally well in any situation. I do find that once I begin to use it, it starts taking over my vocabulary...particularly when I am in devout company.
Ah, Scher has brought out the cookies...don't be fooled by that lovely and innocent avatar, she will have you tell her all of the coutries top secrets after she plies you with all of her marvelous cookies...
Hey Scher, save some for me...

Ack! Scher!

Temptress!

Sure thing, Sound.

Just remember that only the first one comes for free...
