You’re right. Deception in the interest of national security and those interests abroad just don’t compare to good old-fashioned Arkansas cover-your-ass bullshit, now does it? 😉

Ahh, the much-heralded Kentucky Loon Derby–where the winner is the first person to apologize for being incurably nutty. I suspect it will be a photo-finish between **Roseworm** and **Razorsharp**. (But be patient. It’s a long race when the contestants are blindfolded, have their fingers in their ears and are constantly shouting, “La-la-la, I can’t heaaaaar you!”)

We have two chances of that.

Fat and slim.

It’s scheduled for a week after the Sun collapses upon itself and forms a black hole, I believe.

What would happen is **Roseworm** and **Reeder** had sex?  
I’m guessing it would cause a singularity (black hole) to appear and time would run backwards and dogs would be able to play croquet. (though they wouldn’t be that good at it and nobody would like it when they peed on the wickets)

I had exactly that reaction the first time I dropped acid and saw a butterfly. The really good stuff can last 24 hours, so a hearty welcome back in advance!

Yeah, if all those people hadn’t lied in the interests of national security, the Contras might have invaded and conquered the United States by now. Phew, that was close.

What’s that? Kool-Aid? Sure, I’m thirsty, just gimme a small glass…

Cite that there _was_ any such CYA bullshit in Whitewater?

I didn’t think so.

I bet dogs can play croquet already. They can play poker; I’ve seen it in a picture.

I had to read this 3 times to get it. It was funny when I did get it, though.

Based on the OP, I think you picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue!

“piqued”

Sorry – just a pet peeve of mine. Otherwise, freakin’ hilarious.
