@TT1478 Um, I think that might've been a woman, but I'm not sure.

Now I know why there was no baseball for the rest of 94 at Yankee Stadium: the stench of the Gay Games. Maybe the Gay Games can come to Cowboys Stadium next year 'cause the NFL is going to be locked out after the Super Bowl.

[DonDiva4u03]

Honey what a fierce woman! She can not be played with! Really she is a treasure and a blessing for us to know!!!

[TT1478]

Pattie: You don't have another kind of mic stand suga? I need a real mic stand. I mean, you gotta little skinny mic stand. Thank ya Jesus, thank ya Lord. What chu think I am, James Brown?!!"

Then she hugs and shakes the guy when he was trying to walk away. That's Pattie for you, a triiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip!!­!!!!
