(I am) travelling aimlessly along city streets, partaking in _cannabis sativa_ and taking very small, incremental drinks of a cocktail of a liquor made from distilled juniper berries and a liquid squeezed from an unidentified fruit; while my thoughts turn to my net worth, and my net worth occupies my thoughts. ---

You must be cognizant of when to maintain your hand, understand when to discard it, be cognizant of when to leave slowly and when to make a more expeditious departure. Do not enumerate your circulating medium while seated near the piece of furniture objects are resting on. There will be ample opportunity for said enumeration when your business is concluded. ---

I think all of mine have been answered, so it’s time for some new ones: (a) Greetings and salutations to the majestic figment of your imagination; pass the threshold and with your ocular organs, observe that which is occurring; tender the requested monetary sum; and obtain your receipt which will allow you entry to the spectacle on display inside. (b) In the beginning, I was fearful, I was like a certain plant material that had been fossilized; I continued to formulate thoughts that I could not continue to exist in the absence of your presence to my right or left. However, I have spent a large number of hours of darkness considering the manner in which you violated my person, and I cultivated muscle; and I became educated in the manner in which I was able to manage. © I have tendered monies owing for belonging repeatedly; I have paid my debt to society in spite of the fact that I have done nothing against any statutory law or regulation. And inappropriate _faux pas_, I have committed more than one of them; I have endured the amount of silicate particles that have been thrust towards my visage by a lower body appendage; however, I have survived. (d) Her keratinous growth is the same color as that of a 1930s motion picture player; the labia on her visage are akin to an unexpected confection; there is always thermal energy in the appendages of her forelimbs; she is blessed with photoreceptors similar to those of a cinema player who appeared in such films as _Now Voyager_ and _Dark Victory_. **Johnny Q** , yours two posts up is “The Gambler,” by Kenny Rogers. ---

1 - The two of us are entangled in a contraption from which we cannot escape, I do not have the ability to ambulate away, the reason is that I am far too enamored of the person to whom I am speaking, infant. 2 - When the sun is in the sky the two of us would emit an electrolytic solution from our pores away upon the paved motorcar pathways of a fugitive United States night-time hallucination, when the moon is out the two of us would be carried along upon a vehicle from beginning to end of large luxurious quarters in the ultimate of self-harm devices. mmm ---

Some good work! Let’s put a country twist on some–these are country songs and artists: (a) The diminutive of Charles has a timepiece of atomic number 79. It does not resemble a great deal, after 10950 or so days of operating a large motor vehicle to and from various places along the inter-city highway. (b) My male friend informed me that he was in the early part of his fourth decade, and still had many years ahead of him. And a brief period of time halted me on a ten-cent piece. Most of my subsequent diurnal periods were passed as I observed the radiographs, as we discussed the choices and discussed confectionary horology. © The study of numbers and necessary operations was not mine to enjoy; likewise, the study of history eluded me. A young lady of a certain name was chosen to present a speech at our convocation. I was the key player on the squad that played the game that was derived from English rugby belonging to our school; she was the cerebral student who wore spectacles trimmed with a keritaneous substance. (d) I arose in the antemeridian hours of this day and clumsily made my way out of my place of repose. I reviewed a page of my daily printed information source, which would inform me of my astrological sign’s fortunes. I quickly found my future, but my ocular organs nearly leapt out of my cranium when the printed text informed me that the astrological forces would not be kind to me today and that I should return to my place of repose. **Oakminster** , your answer to 129(d) is correct! ---
