Can I just say, yeah, I guessed (and read though most of the older posts on the board) that Mama Bear is a standing joke... and I'm not that new!scottidog @ Sep 19 2006, 07:28 PM wrote: I'm sure that may be true. However, you didn't say his songs were unclassy. You said
You're new here, but you should know that Mama Bear (me) takes personal insults of our boy pretty personally. I don't even like it when Al talks about himself too negatively. If you want to critique his songs, fine. Be sure you clarify that's what you mean.
Also, since you're new here... you should know that Mama Bear is a bit of a standing joke, which was the spirit I meant it in.

And why on God's green earth, as an Al Gal especially, would I insult him?!
I may be new, but surely my personality has been shouting at you all how much I adore the man!...

Ok, next time I'll write something like
Al has gotten a lot more classy (his music and stuff, not to say he isn't classy, not to mention kind, sweet, lovable and handsome... maybe I should add that Al is also the EPITOME of class, a respectful, wonderful man who would never set out to annoy anyone, except through music. But his music isn't annoying! Far from it! In fact, this one time........)
