Go away ! (Or-chid ya bother me). those petunia attempts at playing the game, can get yew a greens thumb. Havenā€™t you bean warned enough? Itā€™ll make **Fernis** crocus. and I wood-ntā€™ stand for that. Iris some one would issue an offical ruling. I could stop produce -ing these. ---

I think Magdalene is the official judge! Someone needs to get her attention. She needs to be collard and brought here. Anyone know her phone number? Maybe we could give her a wring. That said, wire we still talking about vegetables? Wattā€™s up with that? I find it shocking, in light of current events that weā€™d be wasting our time on plants when there are so many more important issues. Wring? Scylla? Got a response Fermi? Fenris ---

Ahem, ladies and gentlemen, I have a verdict: In the **Fenris** vs. **Scylla** duel, I must declare Fenris the winner, if only for stamen-a. But **wring** kicked both your asses in the finals. Sheā€™s not your garden variety punster. Okay, yes, I suck at this. ---

measure for measure, **Scylla** , your efforts have been a Comedy of errors, amounting to be much ado about nothing. You should lear over there a while. **Fenris** , you may be a power-ful opponent, but Iā€™ll breaker you if you try to cicuit-vent me again. U-tilatying to find windmills in your spare time. ---
