I’m pondering whether I should come up with a clever Pinky pondering, or post what I’m actually pondering… Eh, why not cover both? 1: I think so, Brain, but where will we find lederhosen at this hour? 2: I’m pondering whether I should post One-Syllable Challenge II now, or give the first one a bit more time (I’m leaning towards the former). ---

I think so, Brain, but how will you convince Bill Gates to wear lederhosen? (The beauty of this gag is that you can throw out any two or three _non sequiter_ items, and the audience has to fill in the gaps with their own dirty minds… 😉 ) ---
