Man, if I could just fit this thing in my shorts ALL the women would talk to me.

Not hardly, Keith! (e-e-e-e-u-u-u-u-u)

“Hey Elliott, I agreed to help you pack it home — but dude if you let this thing rise any further — I swear, I’m dropping it and you can drag that thing home on the hot sidewalk,” Brandon said, as he worked to relax the head…

Thank you Bent, you owe me a new keyboard. Just spewed mocha all over it :D

Guess Dave didn’t like my APhoto of the day comment. Which incidentally was neither rude nor obscene.
DFO on February 04 at 11:08 a.m.
Arch Druid; I didn’t delete anything under the APhoto of the Day. Did a post by yours disappear?

Robot Technician III Roger clicked on the HBO Photo of the Day cutline contest and gestured to his supervisor, Robot Technician IV Tim, to come over.
“We should fire up the Zoltran 5000 and see if that new pattern recognition post organo-cerebro semiotics expressive unit is working good, have old Zoltran submit a cutline” Roger said.
“Are you serious? The hydro-dynamical cold fusion cooling unit is still unstable according to the Professor, we’ve got a nuclear mini-reactor running this dude.” Tim replied.
“C’mon man, you know you wanna” Roger said.
“Well, it’s just a couple of guys with a snake, heck, I know his herpetological stimuli awareness software is copacetic, I installed that packet myself.” Tim said.
Roger and Tim wheeled Zoltran 5000 over to the computer monitor and pressed his start button.
Meanwhile, 13.7 kilometers away, in a bucolic spring meadow with splashes of wild naturalized daffodils blooming, Dr. Karl Eischenstiffel PhD, the world’s renowned and Nobel Prize winning expert on nuclear robotics enjoyed a rare escape from his laboratory. He was picnicking with his fiancee, the lovely and zaftig Professor of Jungian Hegelian-Analysis, Hulda Rosenmuller when he noticed all of the songbirds that had only seconds before been singing sweet and beautiful spring birdsongs of love and reproduction, suddenly grew silent. He glanced at the sky and noticed how bright it was becoming. Brighter and brighter. As bright as a million suns.

Glad to see some are taking their “medicine” today.

Struggling to play his tenor sax after the python ate it, Brandon says “I hope you’re full, Monty”.

A new rodent control service has taken to the streets. Owner Brandon Dennis states, “We are excited to offer a green solution for your rodent problems.”

“Hey Brandon, this was so much easier when Dick Cheney would just stay in his undisclosed location,” said Elliot.

President Obama’s appointment to the Snake Board of America is carried off in shame after it was discovered by the Associated Press that his handler failed to file an income tax for 2005-2006. His handler didn’t return phone calls.
Arch_Druid on February 04 at 6:16 p.m.
Yeah it did. I was the first to post, Dave, and then went to check the Mountain goat report, and did not see the comment posted.
Bob on February 04 at 7:13 p.m.
LOL. DFO’s being a bit pissy. I’m still coming to Blogfest … My fans have spoken.
Joker on February 04 at 7:41 p.m.
Oh goodie. Bob is coming to Blogfest. Maybe if we’re all on our best behavior he will read from his collection of soon to be published short stories. I suggest we all bring Veltveeta,and red wine to fully appreciate the Bob Experience. It will be a lesson in how not to write.
Bob on February 04 at 7:45 p.m.
Joker, you can sit by me and I’ll arm wrestle you for a date with your mom. She’s like 30 right?
Joker on February 04 at 7:55 p.m.
I wouldn’t want to hurt a feeble old guy. It would be like knocking over a guy in a wheelchair. Not much satistication in that. If arm wrestling is the only way to get a date, you’ve got bigger problems than I thought. If you’re writing is any reflection of your manhood, I’d say you’ve gone limp.
Bob on February 04 at 8:16 p.m.
Joker, if that’s your way of saying you want to go 2/3 for your mom, it’s on, buddy. Tell her I’ll pick up the dinner check but she gets the tip.
Joker on February 04 at 8:38 p.m.
That’s funny. Is that the best you got? Some playground “mom” taunt? What’s next Mr. Quarry, you going to wipe a booger on me?
Let’s see you made it on Anderson Cooper cause you faked some nutty quotes from Sarah Palin and the media stupidly ran with it. All you proved is that media is dumb.
Anything original get published? High Times doesn’t count.
Bob on February 05 at 6:11 a.m.
Joker, thanks for playing TUBOB last night. You are progressing from chewtoy to pinata status in the TUBOB toybox of troll dolls. Think up some good ones today!
