BASIL!! ALL THE WAY BABY!! YAHOO;)
-Flava Flav
really? we have two reports from her and we have to read a story from our literature book... and do the questions... and then all the rest of our hw...
no kidding... Theology, plus 3 other projects=stressed. Why is it so crammed going into finals? plus, i forgot my notes @school. Google is not helping
connor-enough w/ ricky bobby. Shake and bake is sorta funny, but shield volcanoes/care bears is the king of funny...
Double poster .\/.
google almost never helps with homework matt...
yeah some of these peeps are hard to find info on
"some" of these 'peeps'?? If anyone has a person that they can find info. on, I'll trade you!!
Matthew
tell me why people will pay $470 a share to invest in a search engine that never gets u anywhere... uhh talk about annoying.. ps to matthew yost--go to wikipedia.com!!
tell me why i should trade for ARIUS?!? ha ha
Markus--Flavah Flav nirvana
Matt--
Thanks. I've been there, and even though it is like my only source, I still only have like 200 words. or less. Oh well, I'm working on it.
Matthew
PS Why should you trade for Arius? Because he's so cool! I mean, he's like the tower of heresy: a heresy. That's why you should trade for Arius.
Wait. "matti of ..." Who are you?
hee hee hee.
it is MW
i am not swedish!!!! even though of course i am "matti of sveden"
Connor's doing John Cassian
"MW"... Matt White? I thought you were a communist. A Swedish Commy? Nice. You should post that to the prime minister/president/whatever they have. I bet they'd pick it up.
Swedish communist...
Matthew
it isnt fair... kira found info on theodora... i dont have like... anything on attila yet... all i know is that he had a brother named Bleda and he died either of a nosebleed or he was a chronic drinker and died of Esophageal Hemorrhoid
Henry IV of The Holy Roman Empire sacked Rome, set up a puppet pope, (Clement III), and forced a pope into exile. (Strangely, sort of like Hitler.)
-Chris H.
P.S. Matt White, it's ok that your a Swedish communist. Start by gaining the support of the reindeer herders towards the north of the country, and then slowly creep down and take over the large cities. That's how Lenin and Trotskey did it!
first off i am not a commy. second, Maren--go to wikipedia! there is loads of info about attila!!!
I already told you that I have a website! Its the books that concern me...
Hey Matt...
First of all, don't deny it. You should be proud of your noble quest to spread higher government those without.
Secondly, are you going to use the hammer and sickle or get a new flag? If you don't go for traditional, I suggest at least go for red and yellow colors. They're cool.
Feedback, please.
Matthew
P.S. Stay Proud.
I missed a "to." Second line, last word.
Matthew
Oh, yeah. Look at me now.
Matthew
please end this communist stuff. its sorta annoying. My screen name does not imply communism
Preaching the good news...
-Chris H.
not preaching anything...
You know it's true. Don't deny it...
-Chris
Matt,
I wish I could say "welcome to the USSR," but you might take that as an insult. Please know that we hold you in the highest respect and thought we were complementing you by bestowing upon you such a great and noble title.
Chris,
Maybe we should let off of the communist stuff...
I bet his picture is a baby picture of Karl Marx...
To both of you, (and anyone who is, I am sure, reading this, seing as it is posted on a public site)
Farewell. (for now)
I will help you with your crusade of mecca...
Yes Matt. You will help us in our crusader. Thank you. You are no longer a communist, but a knight of Christ. Thank you for your commitment.
-Chris
No, no, no, Chris,
He means our jihad defending Mecca.
Welcome, Matt.
Matthew
Oh no. He said crusade. he does not mean to join in your Jihad. we shall reign victorious, and besides, Mecca is no longer the objective. Jerusalem, is our next target...
Welsome Matt.
-Chris
You'll probably end up in Constantinople.
Matt, what do you mean?
You're probably right, but just to try, I'll send some cartographers along to make sure it goes smoothly.
-Chris
P.S. You must choose Matt!
have your cartographers signed the magna CARTa?!
Sorry, I'm tired. I would say 'good luck', but that just wouldn't do.
Matthew
At least we had a Magna Carta! You, however, had nothing of the sort. The Jihad will be Innefective, and Jerusalem shall be captured. (A children's crusade if necessary.)
-Chris
Sorry. That was kinda random.
Well, I guess I'll have to change my tactics... You'll see...
Furthermore, I think this string of comments might be considered offensive. Therefore, with the general pubic in mind, it should leave.
Yeah, strange things go on in my mind at 10:30 PM (just like on tv.)
Matthew
wow you two are really random... and obsessed
Yeah 7th and 8th Grade Girls kicked butt in Basketball today! We killed the Greeks! Go Crusaders!
yeah but we never did shout for the filioque!:(so sad... lauren kept trying:P oh well
Poor Greeks. First the Romans and the Persians, then the Crusaders. What next, the Lombards?
Also, I suggest a word change around the end of the 1st line.
