Love that one, **Lord!**

From today:

**Creating a mystery  
I’ll never eat that again**

I think someone left off ‘meat’ from that first line.

Again, I’ve been guilty of procrastinating and not getting some of these posted in a timely manner. It’s so easy to think “I’ll post 'em right after having another look-through of IMHO or the Pit” and then forget about it until I’m ready to shut down my computer and get a window that asks what I want to do with the stuff I pasted into my notepad. “Oh yeah!” says I, “I’ll just wait until I go online again.” But then, do I promptly do that on my next visit to the Dope? Nooooo! I’ve got to check to see if there’s any more good sequential threads and then it’s lather, rinse and repeat. :rolleyes: Anyway, here’s a few highlights from the last several days.

\*\*Creating a mystery  
Small square box, large round cat. \*\*

There’s got to be some good grant money to be had if someone can figure out how and why they do that.

\*\*Every prison cell in Britain will be full by next week -  
I’ve moved to London! \*\*

Come on, only Superman could round up all the bad guys that fast. Oh, wait a minute, are you really…?" :eek:

\*\*Apathetic or Half-Hearted? Let’s Form a Club  
Damn! That was fast. \*\*

OK, someone’s not pulling his apathetic, half-hearted weight around here!

(Unlike me.)
