That's okay, you're welcome to say something completely random as a token of your love. It's the thought that counts, and as the creator of this thread your doing so will warm the cockles of my heart, board game monkey cheese.

P.S. what are cockles?

Cockles are what you get in your digestive tract after eating too much McDonalds food.

Of the poop family, I guess?

Hey Dork., what do you think of the looming Troy Glaus/Scott Rolens trade?

I think neither one of them is named "Ronald McDonald". Although Scott Rolen often looked like a sad clown in that red Cardinals uniform of his. Baseball players shoudl be happy clowns, like Ronald McDonald!

P.S. what are cockles?
In Dublin's fair city,
where the girls are so pretty,
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone,
As she wheeled her wheel-barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, “Cockles and mussels, alive alive oh!”


(Small, edible mollusks. Hence, due to their shape, small boat-like vessel. Hence, perhaps also due to similarity [very abstractly so] in shape, the cockles of the heart. Or perhaps that last one is just from Latin corculum, diminutive of cor ‘heart’. Except then you’d be saying something warms the hearties of your heart, which sounds a bit too much like International Talk-like-a-Pirate Day.)

Did you notice that the first Ronald McDonald was Williard Scott?

Heh. And that outfit is even more outrageous than the one he has now.

(Ronald, not Willard. Willard's outfit is not too outrageous these days.)

Well, I for one, am certainly willing to be outraged, if it's for the common good.

I don't know about Ted, but I sure wouldn't sit still for someone to spray paint a beard and mustache on me! Oh wait. I already HAVE a beard and mustache. That's a different thing then.....

I created that for Abe when he had a man crush on Ted Koppel.

Even though I have a full beard, I never really considered myself as having a mustache as well. I consider the hair above my lip and below my nose to be part of my beard.

Ronald McDonald has no mustache.

Abe is probably not Ronald McDonald, either.

Abe could be Ronald McDonald. Abe could be damn near anybody, you never know with him, he's a tricky son of a bitch (not to mention a part time foreign agent).
