Goodbye, cruel world . . .

[Heidi]

It's Saturday morning and I have to go mow the grass. Hopefully, when I return, you faithful DU'ers will have resolved this morning's burning questions, including (but not limited to):

-- "Is Tom Cruise gay?"

-- "What are those things on Katie Holmes' lips?"

-- "What are bangers and mash?"

-- "How about those Yankees?"

1. I was gonna say 'damn, you have headlights on your lawnmower'!!

But I checked your prolile... carry on!

[Heidi]

2. Even worse . . .

alittlelark, it's now even _my_ grass. It's my _mother-in-law's_ grass. But tomorrow is Mother's Day, so what the hell.

[alittlelark]

3. You're being a good Daughter-in -Law...very cool

4. i did the same thing as alittlelark did

i thought: hey--it's three-thirty in the morning...what's the rush? then i checked your profile.

well, then. happy mowing.

[Heidi]

5. I'm finished now!

Woo-hoo! (Actually, I'd prefer to do it at 3:30 a.m., but I'm a relatively courteous person, so I don't. Also, the mower has no headlights. ;) )

6. I can help you with one of those

Bangers and mash are sausages and mashed potato.

[Heidi]

7. See?

I knew ya'll would be working hard to answer those burning questions during "my time away." :hi:

8. Of course Tom Cruise isn't gay

He's Frank T.J. Mackey for christ's sake! You think he was ACTING in Magnolia?

9. My ancestors are from Switzerland...

...came over here over 300 years ago, though. I have always wanted to return to my home country.

[Heidi]

10. Hi, JohnnyCougar!

Do you know what part of Switzerland they came from, or what your ancestors' first language was? (The four official languages are German/Swiss-German, French, Italian and Romanche.)

[JohnnyCougar]

11. They were Mennonites that lived in the mountains

I think that they probably spoke Swiss-German. There is Swiss, German and Austrian in my blood. All kind of the same area, though.

Orioles fans believe, hon.
