Texas singers and actors, too. Jerry Jeff, Ray Wylie, Billy Bob (is he a Texan? not sure)

Also residing in Texas. Lee Harvey. Bad joke, disregard.

William James III. Sounds like he has some sort of lineage, right? Wrong! He's just a pretentious colonial. Moreover, a middle initial isn't very useful. Shouldn't be allowed.

Sasha the First and only! : )

Dear Johnslat

What can I do? I don't like that word : ) Not my fault if you feel an affinity for it, surely? Hee hee!


Best wishes

Variation of the word; I kinda like the sound of it:

slatternliness

But, then again, it doesn't lie well on the tongue (no pun intended; well, maybe in a Freudian sort of way).......coulda put this on the "most favorite", too.
