Poor **RevTim**. Nonsequitered by toad in the hole, pie, death rays and nonsense. I suspect he is in the clock tower now, setting his sights in. ---

The catā€™s breath is a _Simpsonā€™s_ ref, the pie from Weebl and Bob seems to be some UK injoke, but Iā€™m just guessing about that. I thought you would know. ---

> [@EddyTeddyFreddy](#): > > I crawled through a hole in space one time. My body wasnā€™t exactly digging the sucky feeling, so I shot over to watch an Internet race in Castile. The surf was boss, I tell you whut! My boss shot me for taking his space, so I used Dr. Bonnerā€™s Castile soap to suck out some surf that got into the hole in my body while racing in the Internet Hackers Triathlon. Was a tough crawl to watch, I tell you whut! ================ Q: How many non-sequiturists does it take to screw in a light bulb? ## A:Fish! Peace. I only use non-sequiturs when ham sandwich under my shirt. ---

Dr. Bonnerā€™s boss sure is tough! His Internet space is just crawling with soapbox orators, and frankly they suck. The surf at Castile was tough on the hamsters in the hackers race, but I watched the whole triathlon. Holy guacamole, but my body was shot by the end, Iā€™ll tell you whut! ---

ā€œIā€™ll tell you whut!ā€ no longer qualifies as a _non sequitur_ in this thread. Or was that, Iā€™ll tell you whut! ā€˜No longerā€™ qualifies as a _non sequitur_ in this thread. In this thread, as a _non sequitur_, ā€˜no longerā€™ qualifies ā€œIā€™ll tell you whut!ā€. No!
