(sung as theme to dukes of hazzard) or Ron's wife turns the zodiac way too fast and guns the moter unexpectedly while letting go with f*** off #2. (Ron thinks, boy! that girl's got spunk!) explanation of this one below: Subject: Out of all the people From: "Ron Taylor" trolling@my.net.au Date: 3/22/00 2:09 AM Central Standard Time I was riding towards her and with my peripheral vision I could see her there in front of me, so I thought I might try a few super duper manoeuvres and tricks to impress my lady. All was going fine until I got really close to her and even though I had my board under full control she had a look of horror on her face, thinking that a collision between us was eminent. Just as I turned my board away from her to avoid any chance of that happening, she let go with "F*** off!"....snipped -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mar 28, 12:06 PM The Supreme Court (in response to sponge) Message 3 of 34 "I AM A MIDNIGHT COWBOY" Gamivia Duke, Esq. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mar 28, 12:12 PM Pineapple (in response to The Supreme Court) Message 4 of 34 thanks for the ride, now i gotta take a leak. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mar 28, 12:23 PM Rick M (in response to sponge) Message 5 of 34 "Now that's one hell of a wake!" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mar 28, 12:39 PM Doc (in response to sponge) Message 6 of 34 How Falsetto Fred got his nickname - Part 1: "Whoops", said Fred, in a deep voice..... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mar 28, 12:42 PM Luis Mejia (in response to sponge) Message 7 of 34 Not one to be outdone by the Jaws boyz, Barney attempts a Polish toe-in, doggy style. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mar 28, 12:51 PM G (in response to FlekToneZ) Message 8 of 34 Hold it...I've got an itch! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mar 28, 01:14 PM Bud (in response to sponge) Message 9 of 34 "At the 2000 Olympics, W.
