And that’s about as deep as your thoughts get, isn’t it? I prefer peach and apple pie to pumpkin. ---

Only Commies and terrorists prefer anything over pumpkin pie this time of year. I like a little whipped cream on my pumpkin pie. ---

A little? When you get finished putting the shipped cream on, the bugs in your house are putting on their skis. I’ve finally unpacked from moving. ---

I’m sure your family is glad that you’re avoiding them. I just had a nicely grilled, sharp cheddar cheese sandwich on thin sliced, dark rye bread. Kinda tasty IMHO. ---

There was a question raised about whether certain snarky comments in the context of this game are okay. I think in the spirit of the thread that’s okay, the “fake offense” should be in good fun and that’s fine. Please everyone be nice 🙂 [/moderating] ---

Poking the mod with a point-ed stick - always a good idea, **Shodan**. And don’t you know how likely a dog is to eat a bandana, thinking it’s a banana? Have a heart, man! I haven’t eaten a banana in, jeez, months. ---

You forgot to include that it’s cold out and you’ll be alone as per usual. In any case, I can’t think of anyone more deserving! My stapler is completely out of staples. ---

You can’t find staples? Hell, there’s a whole chain of stores with that very name. I just had a 7-11 extra large coffee and pumpkin muffin for only $2.12.
