Kim Jong-Il is in fact the opposite of dead.
First, if you're still upset about the divorce, you need to realize that your mother and I were never really very close.

I am Eugene Cranford Fouke, cousin of the much-admired Philip Bond Fouke, who, at this tortured hour, is once again ill. I have spared no expense on his care and comfort, insisting Dr. F.

To be completely honest, Jerry, I was hoping that this medical crisis would spark the fires of reconciliation between us.

All sorts of stuff turned upside-down by the changing of a single letter.
The captain observed the distant landmass through his trusty spyglass.

Just a quick update for you BiGDOG fans out there. I'm still battling the POWERS THAT BE over my unfair banning at BarkWire.com. Looks to me like those fascists have no intention of honoring the law.

Clumpy enjoys near legendary status with many college students, some even regarding him as a myth. He is far from fiction, though. I had the privilege of meeting Clumpy at a party in 2004, before his health started to decline. He was every bit the party animal the stories made him out to be.

Senator made a name for himself with a series of negative encounters with many dog enthusiasts.
