(something to say as
a fortifying oath, and
what not to step in)
Last Sunday evening, August 10th at 2:00 AM there was…But I've just read that.
Come to the warehouse. Sale's on! Bring all your coupons. Buy fifty, get one free.
I bought a vacuum last night. Think that I left it at the checkout or somewhere - perhaps in the taxi.
Six billion people injured in Mt. Gaia's last shuffle. It's a rather small world.
Sleep now, pretty baby.
Hush your tears a-way-way.
Mommy's out there slaving,
prays at church on Sunday.
Forgotten how to do it? One, two, buckle your shoe…Just look at the picture.
Over your shoulder - look out! He almost hit you. Alaska - pretty rare.
On Channel 6 they had a program about the man who killed Such-a-Someone. Used a tomato.
My fortune tells me that I'd better have my daily nap now. Leftover from Foo's.
Rest now, lass and laddie.
Don't think where's your daddy.
Drink just makes him hazy.
Face it, bad ain't for the lazy.
Welcome to the real world.
There's some good weather and some ugly.
Here you'll find a special friend
in the sky, where the arrows volley.
East to west, a field of dreams.
Pink and blue - just reach up and pluck them.
If the locals laugh at you,
nevermind. Two words. Say it:
Instructions how to make the damned best Mama's pancakes without using batter.
Bought a size fifty. Fits me! Although I'll tell you - it's cheaper to inhale.
Ten meters and it hasn't stopped now, though no one is reporting it. Let's see if Rosebud's buried.
They say the news makes heroes, saints and beggars, good presidents. Can't say if it's true.
Lay your head down, angel.
No one calls you wastrel.
Has Life had you planned well?
Gentlelady Fortune can't tell.
Welcome to the real world.
Kings and serfs - in between, the others.
If you've got a million bucks,
then you'll find that all men are brothers.
Welcome to the worldly stage.
Sing your song. Will it be a big hit?
If the mutts come howling in,
that's okay - just don't step in…
