bilbo_baggins 05-06-2004 09:41 AM

Actually, there are five "L's" in there, Sauce.

Would you mind adding some T's?

The Saucepan Man 05-06-2004 09:49 AM

Doh!
 
I wasn't counting that one. :rolleyes: ;)

Here are all the Ts. You can count 'em. :D

bilbo_baggins 05-06-2004 09:59 AM

Eleven, or I am wrong. Heeheehee. So there.

And, if you don't mind, E's.

The Saucepan Man 05-06-2004 10:53 AM

bilbo_baggins 05-06-2004 01:14 PM

25 E's, no less.

I think if A appears, then I might know the quote

Guinevere 05-06-2004 02:51 PM

I believe I can see it even without the A's... ;)

The Saucepan Man 05-06-2004 07:15 PM

You again, Guinevere? I might have guessed! ;)

You are, of course, correct. :)

bilbo_baggins 05-07-2004 09:05 AM

GRRRRR!! I'm so frustrated, I could scream. I just can't seem to get the qoute! Gosh-Golly-darn!

Guinevere 05-07-2004 01:25 PM

I am sorry, Bilbo! :( I will try to restrain myself next time... ;)
