I went to OpalCat’s page and was reading through the flames, funnies, and fools and was amazed to see that a couple of things I have posted actually found their way onto the flame page.

Wow, I skipped on over to that page and laughed my ass off. Opal really collected a few doozies, huh? No, I wasn’t looking for anything I might have said.

I swear, no event so made my entire month as noting that part of my “Peanuts to End” OP made it onto the Funnies Post list. It’s nice to know that _someone_ out there is laughing at me. Wait, no, that didn’t come out like I meant it to… Anyways, thank you Opal, for making a scared newbie feel good. * * * JMCJ This could be YOUR sig line!

Yeah, isn’t that thing great, and isn’t Opal a peach for doing it? I check it out just because she picks such great stuff. Some of it I remember fondly and some is new and reduces me to wheezing, gasping, tears down the face laughter. I was stunned once to see a snippet of mine included. It was like being knighted. Damn, there are alot of funny, smart people here and it was almost eerie to be included. Veb ---

I was pleasantly surprised (ok, shocked, amazed, and insane with joy :D) to find one of my own flames immortalized as well 🙂 Thank you, OpalCat, for making my day 🙂 * * * “I hope life isn’t a big joke, because I don’t get it,” Jack Handy [The Kat House](http://members.aol.com/gr8kat1/KatGen/home.htm) [Join the FSH Webring](http://members.aol.com/gr8kat1/KatGen/fshwebring.htm) ---

Miss Opal, you are a genius! One suggestion: Please put a warning on the page of flames, fools, and jokes: Middle-aged women with weak bladders should visit the restroom before entering this section 😃 ---

It’s been a while since I read the Page O’ Flames, so after I read this post, I decided to go back and check it out again. I laughed just as hard this time as I did the first time I read it. There’s nothing of mine thre, but there is a post on the Page O’ Funnies that was in a thread that I started. I felt sort of honored at that. 🙂 * * * “The quickest way to a man’s heart is through his ribcage.” --anonymous redhead ---

I just looked at the page for the first time, and there is some pretty funny stuff there. But, do you guys really think it’s clever to make fun of spelling and grammatical errors? Whenever I see that I think, “this person can’t think of anything really intelligent, so they go for the easy shot.” ---

Revtim…yes. Wally, I saw yours, it was great! I have one there too! I was so excited! Its like the 20th one down. I flamed adam pretty hard though, and I feel pretty bad about it. _shrugs_ Oh well!
