There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Hey lawnmowers are scary. One tried to eat my toes.

One threw a blade across the street and through a wall of my Aunt Mabel's house. It imbedded itself in an interior door frame.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Try not to be afraid though -- boy bits are pretty hearty for something so delicate.

Actually his boy bits already got checked out and his "testicular reflex" was pronounced robust.

So it seems to be something else and we just don't know what it is.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

3:15 today. Phew.

Good.

I hope it's simple and easy to fix.

Me, too. I'm voting for hearty bits as Trudy described.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Damn, Matt. There was no potential for decapitation in my situation but I do have some permanent damage.

I think it was too low for decapitation potential, and knee level amputation would have been only inconvenient for half the house's residents (Uncle Franklin already had 2 artificial legs). But still, not fun to have sharp metal come crashing through your house from outside.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I almost crushed my dad with a swather once. (A swather is sorta' like a giant lawnmower. Kinda'.)

move out and draw fire

This is really the natural outcome of Hooked on Phonics. (And seriously, why isn't it Huked on Fonix?)

All of those people need to be forced to do a year of research using 18th C English texts.

Oh, hey, anybody have a link to the COMMics? Or your individual ones?

Thrive to spite them

I only remember doing one spelling bee, it was a classroom one and I misheard the word and screwed it up. I was one of the first out. After that I pretty much stopped doing anything that required me to stand in front of the class. Not because of that incident, but I don't remember doing any kind of spelling bee thing after that.

I'm a terrible speller. Thank god for the spell check function on Firefox.
