Better to cut-cut paste-paste than to war-war, someone should have once said ..... Willi Nelson can't pay his taxes, so yes he'd be perfect as chairman of finance issues for the ParliaMundo, keep it within a reasonable budget, lively and in tune as well, can't you just see him in a duet with Julio Mosquesias doing All The Splits We've Smoothed Before

Amusing factoid in re the International Criminal Court - one of its first cases is between Liechtenstein and Austria, involving 'certain property disputes' or something .... this cracked me up, i knew a liechtensteiner once, if you met him you'd understand right off ...... amusing factoid in re Real Sunday Life - no consensus could be reached on 1) where exactly to pick berries, and 2) which vehicles to take, so i've withdrawn my truck from negotiations and now plan to unilaterally drink beer and diddle in the garden until they all come to their senses
