Always thought "commonist" sounded strange when you could just say "most common"...

LLapp on 2015-07-02 11:37:37
I am not now and have never been a commonest.

You know, if you turn the hatchet sideways, it's just like a big fly swatter. I don't see a downside.

marnita on 2014-07-15 14:55:44
A rather heavy fly swatter, Monty!

universalmom on 2014-08-24 14:58:55
thank you saipan

montyb on 2015-06-15 09:04:52
Aerobic workout for the swatter, Marnita.

Would you call that overkill?

mikehallbackhoe on 2015-09-26 10:51:59
Monty, do you find it difficult to keep friends ?

kb83 on 2016-04-15 02:34:20
And if its your enemy, why not bury the hatchet?

And yet it hath been done, that snow is melted and stripped by marvelous electrodes into fuel and air -- hydrogen the first, and oxygen the latter -- then kindled easily, so too is lust's sudden flame easily quenched with a blanket of careful words.

I don't have a Kindle Fire, but if I did, I wouldn't want to lose it in the snow! They're expensive!

I'm sorry for that. It's all my fault.

LLapp on 2016-03-13 08:49:37
No, no, Monty, I blame myself.

darkyr on 2016-04-12 04:53:40
Good job. Now I don't have to take the blame.

mmfs83 on 2016-08-30 09:41:27
None of you have to worry. According to my daughter in law, everything is my fault.

Well, he finally made an ash of himself.

kb77 on 2011-09-19 09:37:28
you're so cremative with your jokes guys.

chopstix on 2013-01-29 03:28:14

Your gallows humour is just ashking for it.

For the music you could request "Come on Baby, Light my Fire."

kb83 on 2015-04-27 03:44:00
Isn't it strange, to have "after I'm dead" at the beginning rather than later on in the sentence?

montyb on 2015-11-13 15:03:15
You guys apparently don't appreciate the grave-ity of the sentiment.

wshanley@sbcglobal.net on 2015-12-28 07:28:09
Nah, forget the monument, way too many birds.

"Where God builds a church the devil builds a chapel." — Martin Luther

kb83 on 2014-07-26 17:38:30
Sounds a bit symbiotic.

mazereeuw on 2014-09-29 15:51:44
Often I think it's God who builds the chapel while the devil builds himself a cathedral.

universalmom on 2015-01-05 03:03:43
wow maz, I like that! Too true.

haverwench on 2015-06-21 05:49:11

Awesome name Euripides

Barnabas on 2013-10-26 05:28:53
Chipmunk, he got the name when he brought a torn toga to a tailor. The tailor said, "Eurpides, and I fixadees." And Euripidees said, "Nice to meet you, Fixadees."

darkyr on 2016-11-17 03:32:20
Sounds like the plot of an adventure movie. The new bad guy has to dig up the old bad guy to get his power, meanwhile the good guys have all of their goodness locked on display behind glass. By the time they find the key, things have gotten a bit spicy.
