I went to a concert on Friday, it was Sting. It’s nice to sit on grass, because it’s soft. Except when it itches - things that itch aren’t very pleasant. Just like my brother, who left to college on Friday as well. How sad. But I really did enjoy my cheddar rice cakes, they were scrumptious, speaking of which, so is Jones soda. Yum!

See, look, it’s ok if the muppets catch on fire, cause then the rescue workers will just have to zap their nuts. Problem solved.

starting to feel that profound sense of rejection…

I knew that once I divulged information about my snakes, the hijacking would stop. You all just used me.

I used to live in the Bloom County House. Yep, you heard right. That Bloom County. That house. Freaky weird with towers and balconies and such. We had bees. Lots and lots of bees. Don’t live there anymore, but you can still rent rooms there. Guy living downstairs one year had snakes…aw, _ **CRAP!** _

We have a turtle. She knows how to come down the stairs.

And speaking of turtles, I used to like chocolate, but I don’t so much any more.

How much caffeine is in chocolate?

There is lots of caffeine in Mountain Dew. I like Diet Mountain Dew the best. It doesn’t have that sugar after-taste.

This one time, when I lived in Phoenix, I had a huge turtle named Mr. T. He was named after the legendary A-Team member. It wasn’t until a few years later that I realized that turtle started with the letter T. Thus, the name worked on so many levels. Anyway, he was an exotic turtle, and I used to put him down the slide, but then the pool man stole it. Well alright then.

I guess this post is brought to you by the letter T.

:steeljaw walks in and beats dead horse with an AK-47:

:beats dead horse a little more, horse jiggles showing signs of life:

I wonder if the thought of a dead horse offends anybody?

(yes, you’re right, this is a last ditch effort to revive this thread)  
BUMP!

So how many people here like cheese? I LOVE the stuff, but i’m lactose intolerant.

```
 [tangent]

 Which really sucks because my favorite food is pizza, and pizza with no cheese just plain blows (IMHO). Oh well.
