That is from the guys who did texting before it was invented...the amateur radio operators. Morse code as actually sent uses a set of abbreviation much like texting does. XYL is one of those. Means X young lady...or your wife/significant other female.

Nope a YL is an unmarried lady of undetermined age. You could get someone killed with talk like that.

Mezcal is tough. How about a grub in the bottom of a bottle of gin? By the time a cuban bee gets this far out anything with alcohol will do.

Got skunked last year...too dark and forbidding around here. Not very many houses either. Other years we got the older ones.

LOL...same around us...we live up a mountain on a dirt road. It's way too much work for the little kids to make it up there. A lot of work for little return (some candy)!

Say hello to the 'Cuban Bee' for me when he gets there (IF he makes it!)
