Wake up, hasn’t anyone told you it’s autumn, or if you prefer, fall, it’s supposed to start getting chilly. I woke up around 4 this morning and couldn’t go back to sleep. It’s bad enough when the alarm goes off at 5:30. ---

There are thousands of suffering narcoleptics who would gladly trade places with you, ya know. Guess they can just suck it up, right? I can’t decide whether to sign up for a marathon or a half, for my next race. ---

If your username is an indication - sign up for the marathon that gets you out of the way of the serious competitors as soon as possible! My dog follows me around the house, sits beside me, but moves away if I try to give him cuddles. ---

We all have discussed ditching you, closing the games, but we were having too much fun without you. a…er…welcome back, I guess. I mailed some Jack Handey wit to cheer up an ailing friend. ---

Not feeding your dog? Please tell us your address so we can report you to the authorities for animal abuse. I think fountain pens provide for a more elegant looking script than any ball point pen ever will ---

Fountain pens discriminate against left-handed people by smearing ink all over the page as our hand passes the writing, but don’t let that dampen your snobbery. Coffee pods may be bad for the environment, but they sure are easy. ---

Oh, that is _SO_ typical! “Angel food” cake! You take the blandest and most sickly-sweet example of wypipo cooking, and try to claim that it’s somehow pure and holy and sacred! I guess tres leches cake or sweet potato pie are Satanic, huh? I think fall weather is _finally_ starting around here! I’m definitely looking forward to cool, clear days and chilly, cozy evenings! ---

What, are you trying to single-handedly deforest the planet just so you have ultra-soft eight-ply ass-wipe paper? I love this crisp fall weather we’re having.
