Might it be that your

Anathema
is just that liquidy thing they squirt in you to relieve constipation?

With friends like you, who needs enemas?

I beg to differ. You seem to be convinced that a

Hammurabi may have come up with a legal code, but that’s as close as you got with this one. A signature was a style of Babylonian tower where each story was a little smaller than the one below it, pyramid-style.

Pinhead? You’re mistaken, sir.

Not so fast, my little pretty.

Pappy was one of the things the Wicked Witch conjured up to keep Dorothy from getting to the Emerald City.

Both you and Zeldar seem to have the same misconception.

Poppy

is what you call someone who a lot of people like.

I stand beside you in my concern over how I may be perceived for pointing out that

Tut tut.

Polaris the name given to electromagnetic radiation that has been restricted to vibrate in only one plane.

(5-4 Fighting :I rather think that the word you meant to reference is the one that was included in your spoiler; which is why I ignored it. Nothing personal, honest. :wink:)

Tut, yourself, buster (or bustress?!?). Polarized describes the condition of someone who cannot move because of a spinal injury, for example.
