    @ 11:06. Jim Montague. You shamming up in a creek, on a wood paddle ore boat?

    ~

    You hardly ever post. Why? I read you as if you a war-vet from purgatory.

    I read the second from last page of your comments. You attend to geezers.

    I mean: `You write substance. You are Not a frail one who scrapes barnacles.

    I's saw you @ a 'Blockbuster' store? You rented those stories of grave remorse?

    Was it you? @ Grand children of Auschwitz... telling about `Nam + Purgations?

    If you post more, a world will be better off. You fishing all the time for halibut?

    You never a whining whiskered catfish. You are a stinky oncologist with a heart.

    If you brood about a 'C' in a fishy culinary French... beware of all thee whine puppies.

    Jim Montague? IF you ever want a frozen carrot cake, stop over, and facilitate geezers.

    I'm gone to be late once again.

    I attend Veteran Geezer Group.

    Monster can walk holing hands.

    Jim Montague:`Cookie Monster.
