Pink toenails
Why don’t I have time to paint pink toenails
I’ve got my pink foam curlers and my pony-tail
My girlfriends have time for their pink toenails

Come nightfall
You’ll be waltzing through my door when you hear me call
And I love the way you say I’m your baby doll
And you’ll find me sitting there in my pink toenails

I’ve got my walkman and my Cosmo and my ticket to ride
All I need is my box of chocolates and you here by my side

Whoa pink toenails
Why don’t I have time to paint pink toenails
I’ve got my pink foam curlers and my pony-tail
My girlfriends have time for their pink toenails
…
it is a song … really!!

Howdy all, just a post to check if the Webmonster has unlocked my profile?

Think he took offence at my statement that Britney spies, ala Muscles Smurf has the natural aggression of a wet kleenex tissue
13

Just For Kicks on 3 May 2012 at 6:48 pm

@ Cheetah4eva:Anyone who comes up with names like Britney Spies is a General in my book, and I for one will certainly boycott the site if the General is banned!!!!!!!!!!

grootblousmile on 3 May 2012 at 7:06 pm

12 @ Cheetah4eva:
So, what was wrong… did you have a virus on your PC or something, because I blocked nothing!

Funny message you got…. it apparently was something in the line of “You did’nt tick the box indicating you’re human”

How did they know you’re not human?
15

bdb on 3 May 2012 at 7:09 pm

…. en ek sien Verdwyn Vermeulen en Joan de Villiers behoort vroeër reg te wees.

Hoop net HM skuif tante Joan uit na buitesenter want FS is die toekoms op binnesenter, eintlik FS en JDJ.

Ons moet mos die jongmanne kans gee of hoe ?
16

bdb on 3 May 2012 at 7:14 pm

12: ten minste sal Spies se babaseun (Werp spies) die bal voor die pale kan oorskop, nog toe oë ook .. heelwat beter as ou Sies Beweseun van die Staat !
17

grootblousmile on 3 May 2012 at 7:19 pm

15 @ bdb:
Moenie worry nie, al is Verdwyn Vermeulen reg en nie meer gekrok nie, sal hy nie die “Spear of the Nation” kan lig nie.

Boetman is skerp die jaar en die kapteinskap akkodeer met hom… en Heyneke sal hom kies.

Joan de Villiers staan ‘n goeie kans om kaptein te wees van die Bokke, maar ek dink ook Heyneke sal hom buitesenter toe skuiwe AS hy vir Fransie Steyn vroeg genoeg uit Frankryk kan lok.

grootblousmile on 3 May 2012 at 8:30 pm

2 Of the 7 matches this weekend worry me, from a Bru perspective… Brumbies vs Waratahs & Sharks vs Landers… what to pick for those?

Canes vs Blues… Canes should take it
Rebels vs Bulls… Bulls should take it at a canter… but somehow I think they will make it hard for themselves
Chiefs vs Lions… Chiefs should take the Lions with consumate ease
Brumbies vs Waratahs… tight win for the Brumbies??
Sharks vs Highlanders… Freegin difficult, maybe Sharks to just pip it??
Cheetahs vs Force… Cheetahs should logically put the Farce away but by how much?
Crusaders vs Reds… Saders to take it at a gallop.

14 @ GBS,

Still stumped! No virus, but I cleared all the settings on IE, and ran a utilities programme. As for them knowing I am not human, that part was easy! It was you that did the skinder thingy!

Then I ran a virus scan the morning, and the darndest thing happened!

It appears that their is a new devilish virus doing the rounds. “Poink Trojan Cow 64 Virus” Only way you can get rid of the darned thing is to either merge the Bulls with the Spears, which is viable as I see you already have “boetman”listed as the Spear of the Nation!

Or as individual, you have to make friends with a BB supporter! So flok dit, I will rather format my PC!
23

grootblousmile on 4 May 2012 at 8:52 am

22 @ Cheetah4eva:
Bwahahahaha

Flok, today the Bulls will be pink again against the Rebels.
24

Cheetah4eva on 4 May 2012 at 9:05 am

23 @ GBS,
Oh no!!! Better get some extra protection on my PC, this will no doubt increase the risk of that virus infecting my airspace again!

Bulls hould rack up an impressive tally against the Rebels. No O’Connor, no Cipriani. Even Britney should be able to look good against the Rabble
