Did you mean "worn," RBUD? I like "worm," though.
Canonicals: towels and such.
CANONICALS, n. Military enlistees. See CANNON FODDER.
I'm still waiting for someone to perform that Pachelbel piece with tuned howitzers.
Canonicals: Sounds like the uniform required by Coroporate... can't I just wear my jeans please?
funny TLP...!!

Much better than polaroidicals, IMO.

TLP, now we know they are there to absorb saliva.
Haha, Amoeba. Synchronized shotguns is more like it.
Nowadays, Terry? You betcha.
Howdy, JJ!
Can't help you there, Jenn. I read but don't speak.
Accompanying conical caps, Actonbell.
Haha, AP3, in almost every case.
Well done, Cooper.
Icy, you have a natural alb.
Quilly, that's why I drive in reverse.
Canonicals -- Californians who shoot their canons off with the slightest of encouragement.
