Kevin could handle the teasing from the the other fellas about his harp lessons, but when they stole his strings…that was the last straw.

Even in Ancient Rome, struggling musicians were denied mortgages. A stark reminder that you need to monitor your credit report.
F-R-E-E that spells free, credit report dot com baby!

With hearing the news that the Bakkers would be leaving Ireland, Hugh tore off all the strings from his Irish harp, vowing to never play again!

The harper sits for a moment and tries to remember if he banked the fire before leaving the house that morning. He contemplates walking back home to check but carrying the harp is no easy matter – for an ethereal instrument, it proves to be surprisingly heavy to cart around – and decides to take a chance.

With this economy, will I be doomed to play street harp forever?

The young harpist bemoaned the fact that he had an enormous foot growing out of his arse.

Do we get partial credit for trying…I really think both of Rachel’s comments rock & Jaime’s was very good as well.
I intentionally don’t read the others before I jot mine down.
I am ever so slightly saddened by the realization that Rachel, Dave, & Jaime are all wittier than me per this website…In fact…it may actually be true as perception is reality… Don’t fear…my ego can take it. ;)
I apoligize to those below the 375 level…you know who you are…;)

Edward took a moment from his harp playing to ponder: Bryne, Mitchell or De Rossa for the European Parliament?

I have to tell the staff that I like the explanation of the point system.
It seems to be equitable.
Also completely unrelated..JB & I are planning to come out to see you in Summer 2010…stay tuned.

I know points have already been awarded, but I can’t resist:
United Breaks Harps, too.
