Furthermore, I think you should write an alternate-history story with the premise that John Wilkes Booth had remembered to bring his board with him that night at Ford's Theater.I, on the other hand, closed my eyes and launched myself at top speed, shouting "Sic semper tyrannis!" -
I was really wondering where you were going with this. My first thought: he's styling himself as a gay Franz Kafka, waking up one morning to find he'd been transformed into a pink flamingo.For the past week, I've been standing on one foot quite a bit. -
I'd advise due caution. Uncontrolled snickering got me thrown out of senior high Spanish. Actually, it was a joint effort by a friend and me, but I was the one who got caught. Despite that, we're still friends, 42 years after the fact. And still snickering.

I did something similar a couple years ago when I found some old photos of me at one of the last Christmases at our old family home in the late 1980s, and discovered I still had some of the same clothes in my closet. Naturally, I thereupon resolved to wear them again at our next Christmas gathering. When I informed people that I was, that day, wearing exactly what I had been wearing precisely to the day 16 years previously, the response ranged from bemusement to indulgent nods. No one else seemed to realize that it was something that had to be done.Also, I found a bunch of old shirts from 7th grade that still fit. Maybe it's a little creepy for a twenty year old to be wearing a shirt from the local junior high, but hey...I'm too broke to turn down free clothes. -
Nice touch with the thesaurus, BTW. I was going to mention that before, but I got carried away trying to be clever.

Mathemmatical jiggey-pokery is not unknown in the naming of musical aggregations, viz. in Barbershop's sister musical genre, Dixieland, The Firehouse Five Plus Two. Following that formula, you might dub your group something along the lines of "EleCivil's Bunkhouse Four Minus One." Of course, these's nothing really stopping you from further elaboration: "EleCivil's Bunkhouse Twelve Thousand Six Hundred Forty-Two Minus Twelve Thousand Six Hundred Thirty-Nine."And yes, I recognize the intrinsic numerical flaw contained within that prediction. -
[Grandmotherly Voice]Yes, he seemed like such a nice young man.[/Grandmotherly Voice]I'm glad it finished well, but I have to say that it doesn't fit the mental image I had of you. -
Pretty gutsy. You ever do anything like that before? You sort of hint at it with the "Why am I the one who has to protect you" remark to your friend.I've had fantasies of doing the intimidating thing myself, usually in the context of having had some jackass driver pull some life-threatening maneuver right in front of me. You know, following him until he stops, then getting out and rushing up to his window and, with my best crazed-maniac attitude, screaming "You could have killed me with that stunt!" 'Course, I never would, since I wouldn't know how to handle it if the guy could do a crazed-maniac routine better than mine.

A pirate gets shipwrecked. When he wakes up, he's on a beach. The sand is dark red. He can't believe it. The sky is dark red. He walks around a bit and sees that there is dark red grass, dark red birds and dark red fruit on the dark red trees. He's shocked when he finds that his skin is starting to turn dark red too. "ARGHHHH!!" he says, "I think I've been marooned!!"

Be ye familiar with Disney's "Treasure Island," young Master Civil? People couldn't talk like pirates if it hadn't been for Robert Newton.

I knew there had to be a logical explanation....an undead exploding penguin/demon, known mostly for ending each sentence with the term "dood!". -
I'm trying to place that penguin graphic... there's something ineffably Miyazaki about it.
