Most through it away after the first bite, but everybody’s tried it. If you haven’t you’re strange and your friends think your MOther dresses you funny. ---

Well, I was following this thread okay, right up until the part about Alien Fresh Jerky, but then I kind of lost it. Mmm. Alien Fresh Jerky. For all your jerky needs. Kn(who has never eaten jerky - alien or otherwise - in all her life)ckers ---

OK, this is Really Strange. Crewman Daniels help you with those posts, right? I take it back, lest he visit my parents when they first meet. ---

As proof theat I never bought Jerky at a 7-11, I had to post that twice. Hope you enjoyed it both times. And my mother DOES dress me funny. She has a thing for plaid skirts. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Aesiron \* > \*\*It’s been a long time… getting from there to here… \*\* **Road.** It’s been a long **road.** Fun fact: I once rented a DVD of _Patch Adams_, just to see if they really used that “Faith of the Heart” song during the closing credits. After slogging through, oh, 10 minutes of the movie or so, I jumped to the closing credits, found that they did indeed use that song (with Rod Stewart singing it, no less), listened all the way through the credits, and quit watching, promptly retuning the DVD to my local Blockbuster[TM] the following morning. ---

Er, **returning** the DVD, not “retuning” it. You can’t tune a DVD any more than you can tune a fish. ---

Wait, you _can’t_ tune a fish? Well, jeez, what the hell have I been doing all these years?! Twelve lousy years in Fish Tuner school, to get my doctorate in fish tuning, and all for naught. Here I am, in today’s competetive job market, with all my qualifications and experience, and nobody willing to hire a fish tuner. I wondered why I couldn’t find work. It’s because I have a nonexistant career! I tell you, it makes me sick. What? Oh. Haha, pun. My bad. This has been Stretching the Premise, with your host, Kn\*ckers. ---

Forgot to add the friggin’ apostrophe. That was supposed to be **viva** ’ll. Anyway, guess what I had for dinner tonight? Yeah, that’s right… more rice. This time with cauliflower and even more water. I haven’t had a soda in three days. ☹ ---
