I've hidden leroy's post for now. posting answers can take away all the fun for the folks who have not tried it yet.

I'll reveal the post after Tizzy chooses to provide the answers. (feel free to remind me if I forget.)


p.s.
leroy and I disagreed on several of the answers. I prefer mine, but admit I could be wrong...

how else do we.... ahhh ok never mind ....

what did we disagree on...?

want to make a wager? If I got more correct than you, you will reveal your identity?

evidently many PM answers to Tizzy. that is what I do.

all PM you where we disagree so you can have the fun of telling me where I'm wrong!

HOBO BASE #3 was earned in 1983.

 does sally like anal???

I wrote the below bit on 30 april 07, before I knew about train (hobo) base.

I actually..... ah never mind.... Signature block modified with respect...

I prefer the proverb, "One swallow makes a keeper."

You had one wrong answer, look at number 6 again.

You know what's funny LeRoy ? You are a member of all the lists/groups that you made up yourself. What makes one feel inadequate without a letter alphabet after their name ?

... uh ya, a whole list of one, the hobo list...

well.... Now the "NCBMSF3CUTAWAY#1" thing was a tongue in cheek way of jokingly thumbing my nose/laughing at everyone making up all these "lists."

Please why its funny? Even if it was funny(intesting,etc) ... who cares? if I was happy making lists up, or getting on lists; the one I am happy I am not on in the BFL.

by your logic you will be happy to take it in the ass as a way of of jokingly thumbing your nose/laughing at others who do ?

Logic is not fixed or static. It can change within a dynamic. So no I would not take it in the ass, sir.

please unhide my answers, thanks

thanks for the reminder!
done.

(now I must go and look at the next one, and to see the posted answers...)
