You have about fifteen minutes to post something -- anything -- even remotely interesting or amusing.

Somehow, the best bread (oerbrood) doesnt do well with the best spread (peanutbutter with nuts!), but the second bests(cervelate and white bread) do well with the other bests!

Axolotl is an interesting thing to regard. Check on them. Also, I would like to try on of my Random Suburban Contemporary Poems:
His sponges trembled, languid on the apocalipse of green fundaments of the rice parrot, but he was sad, and his cat was desintegrating, and he sold backwards his friend's vroom, until the end. Also, I think my signature is interesting. It took me a very good effort to create a showman Koala ASCII (notice the top hat). ------------- ¡Beware of the Bee! |

I'm here at last -- life and a lonely motorcycle got in the way!
Well, NS, I tried the remote, but was disappointed with the lack of results. First I pointed it at my bank book, to try to increase its volume -- no luck.
 Then I pointed it at my wife, to increase the volume of her ****, again, no luck.
 Finally after she saw what I was up to, I tried to decrease the volume of her voice -- yowtch!
 Here's your remote back. Sorry about the mess -- I wiped it as clean as I could....  ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. |

I like this post, because it has an English class in it -- but that new band Cream Treacle that Syzygy mentioned just sounds more exciting (and he didn't use the word "deff" -- whatever that means....

These are for you, Peter. Funny examples of incorrect English I learned long ago. Flying around the room I saw two birds. You never use a preposition to end a sentence with. |

This one was kind of exciting, because of the potential for senseless, random violence -- and because the poster is apparently a supernatural, winged being!
His previous one was pretty good too, because I like salami, but ultimately he had to be rejected beause he left out the apostrophe in his possessive "peoples."

In the end, though (and despite his somewhat exciting, suggestive name), this guy loses because his home country is just too darned long, thin and pointy -- like the pepper for which it is named.

Easy wins! (Tony doesn't even rate.)He wins because despite being Scottish, he knows what an anagram is!
 I like the '"trout" one best, because trout is tasty on the BBQ, and because Ian Anderson used to own a trout farm.
(Now if only I could figure out what the anagrams derive from....
 )Here is your grand prize, Easy -- some limericks I painstakingly composed during my bike ride, and jotted down on a napkin in the local donut shop:
There once was a limey named Tony
Who was quite an incredible phony
He blustered and puffed
And acted quite tough
But all knew he was chock full of baloney
******************************
There once was a mincer named Garten
Who was always and forever a fartin'
When he'd let loose in a room
Those near him would swoon
While the rest fled with eyes red and smartin'
*******************************
There once was an old man named McBeath
Who oft' wandered alone 'cross the heath
'Twas there he'd be found
Long leagues from the town
A-foaming and gnashing his teeth
********************************
There once was a sicko, McBeath
Who vowed: "tis far better beneath"
As Tony climbed on
He burst into song
(The threepenny one, 'bout Mack Heath)
********************************
There once was a Scotsman named Bob
With a shy and retiring nob
When lassies lifted his kilt
His thistle would wilt
Sighed they: "he's nay up for the job"
***********************************
Congrats, & hope you liked 'em, Bobber!

Well done! Some of the best things in life are "pointless," of little or no "practical" use -- the pointlessness is the point!
My dog doesn't "get" art. A bone is more lovely and useful to him, by far. He'd pee on the Mona Lisa as quickly as he would a tree.
Art is a mirror, and humour is an antidote, a sanity and humanity-preserving counterbalance to the horror of reality.
Or not.

Osama bin Ladeen, severely injured in an American attack, is in a US Army medical facility, when he asks the attending doctor, "Doc, when will I die?" "Unsure of the exact time of death," his Western doctor says. "But you will die on an American holiday." "How do you know it will be on an American holiday?" asks the terrorist.

Three guys, a Canadian, Osama Bin Ladeen and Uncle Sam are out walking together one day. They come across a lantern and a Genie pops out of it. "I will give each of you each one wish, that's three wishes total," says the Genie. The Canadian says, "I am a farmer, my dad was a farmer, and my son will also farm. I want the land to be forever fertile in Canada." With a blink of the Genie's eye, 'POOF' the land in Canada was forever made fertile for farming. Osama Bin Ladeen was amazed, so he said, "I want a wall around Afganistan, so that no infidels, Jews or Americans can come into our precious state." Again, with a blink of the Genie's eye, 'POOF' there was a huge wall round Afganistan. "Uncle Sam" (A former civil engineer), asks, "I'm very curious. Please tell me more about this wall." The Genie explains, "Well, it's about 15,000 feet high, 500 feet thick and completely surrounds the country; nothing can get in or out - virtually impenetrable. "UncleSam" says, "Fill it with water". ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/MysticBoogy" rel="nofollow - My Last.fm
