Ask Mr. Knowitall......


Hi everybody if it's Wednesday, it must be time for 'Ask Mr. Knowitall'..
Well it seems that Nobody has any questions fo me this week, so Maybe I'll just Ramble On for a bit...I had a wonderful Holiday, I hope that you did as well. I did develope quite a horrible Tooth-Ache, and I've been on Pain Killers for 2 days, I hope My dentist is in on Wednesdays!
Anyway, How's about some interesting answers to some Un-Asked Questions?
.
Famous Historical Names....

.

.

.

I went back and read it, Galen.

I figured you were in the middle of creating a masterpiece.

I just didn't want to take too much time creating my own blurb lest I lost my treasured spot.

if you can't get to the dentist get to a pharmacy and pick up some clove oil. put it on the achy tooth. wishing you a pain free day.

barman said...

Wow Strumpet, YEA! So how is it there where no comments about Leopold von Sacher-Masoch?

I love Mr Knowitall. You always have such fun facts. Gotta love Mr Reuben although after over eating yesterday, I think I need to stop thinking about FOOD!

Good luck with the tooth. I hope your dentist can see you today G.

Get thee to a dentist Oh Great And Mighty One!

I find Leopold mesmerizing.

But, not as mesmerizing as YOU, Sir Gayland.


Barman, I just went and read down from the comments after I typed the above.

You are reading my mind.

Leopold is apparently the Godfather of Kink.

Leave it to Galen to feed my knowledge on the topic.

I overate yesterday too!


Galen,

I hope your tooth is better. I'm gonna have to get some clove oil now to keep around the house. Thanks, Lime!


Snowelf, DO IT. It WOULD be cool.

Serena said...

I know that Leopold guy. In fact, I think I used to date most of those guys except maybe the Poinsettia guy.:) I hate it that your tooth is still hurting. So ... tomorrow? Dentist? Huh?

Little Wing said...

NOW you tell me!!!!!!!!

Hope you got your toof some help.
Tequila helps.
