I thought "Arrrh" is what Long John Silver said.
(Or maybe that's how "Aww" pronounced in GB.)

And "Ahhh" is what you say when something feels good.
(Or maybe that's how "Aww" is pronounced in Tennessee.)

I think the term for insincere sympathy is spelled "Aww."

There's probably an "Aww" smiley, but not in our little selection.

I'm just feeling so pedantic today!

AWW!

Actually Cog I spent more time dodging bits of AAA. What goes up must come down!

No shit! And the people shooting off their AK-47s in the Middle East have yet to realize that!

2007 marks the sixtieth anniversary of the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, arguably the most influential archaeological discovery of the 20th century.

Ain't nothing good about any of it.

It's all ugly stuff. Can't say I agree with the death penalty.

He certainly was guilty, though.

he was a leader who murdered thousands of innocent people to further his own wealth and power and to keep control of the country he ruled while lying to his people

so they executed Saddam for emulating him
