Why does this picture look like Bart's grabbing boobies?!?! I think there's a hidden message here...

Its not hidden. It's why I selected it. Is that wrong?

LetsGoMavs said...

Naw, it's the holidays. Let the booby grabbing begin. Besides, you guys are snowed in with nothing else to do...

Snowed in? DG's just getting ready to play the back nine in Houston.

LetsGoMavs said...

What? You boys don't live in Denver?!?! Posers! No boobie touching then.

Why live in Denver. It snows too much. We prefer to run or perhaps ruin the DU hockey program from afar.

Actually its golf this weekend in Austin. :-)
