		<description>On the upside, dogs are great for big bums.

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  Hey, Jay!  Long time, no see!  

The kid doesn&#039;t generally walk the Lily-Dawg - which means dogs had better be great for flabby bums, too.  And I will definitely have to quit smoking if this animal stays much longer;  I&#039;m having to jog her rather than walk her.  Under great protest, I might add.&lt;/em&gt;</description>

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  Awww, Beck, couldn&#039;t you just take ME?!&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>Awwwww, what a beautiful doggie! I wish I could take him. :(

The Sire of Turkey is a real turkey.

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  I prefer &quot;Arse&quot;.  Ky (AKA The Turkey) says &quot;Arse&quot; in such a way that it conjures up exactly how I generally feel when I think of The Sire.  Which I try not to do.  I have managed to successfully &quot;disappear&quot; a great many people in the last couple of years.  The Arse just won&#039;t be disappeared.&lt;/em&gt;</description>

		<description>That bites it. Big time. What a punk (the Sire). He&#039;s a betch and a shetbag, and not in a good way.

&lt;em&gt;Les Says:  Agreed.  I&#039;m concerned NOW about the &quot;empty threats&quot; to &quot;let the bank take the house.&quot;  Which they won&#039;t, before coming after me.

I may need to get an army together;  are you in, Betch?!&lt;/em&gt;</description>
