I got it in 81 seconds, but I have no idea what he's talking about.

He hates working in Hollywood.

marnita on 2017-09-17 04:37:10
Who could blame him for that?

And then the bank statement snaps you back to reality.

I don't get a statement, I get a condolence card.

maradnu on 2010-05-29 14:13:28
But he would do it regally.

universalmom on 2012-10-06 16:13:27
That's not all he would gnaw at

saipanwriter on 2013-03-09 03:00:05
I didn't know dogs had shoelaces.

abra on 2013-05-01 21:27:45
Only when they're kings. They get little sneakers when they get their crowns.

Or really nice hush puppies

bwbaer on 2016-08-25 11:15:29
Hmm, I actually doubt that.

LLapp on 2017-03-02 21:30:24
No, this really is a witty group, bwbaer.

Did anyone have shoelaces a thousand years ago?

I confess that I've been compared to the featureless doldrums.

wvwoman on 2013-08-01 14:43:08
that is one homely fellow.

montyb on 2013-11-02 13:12:08
You should see him at low tide.

maradnu on 2013-11-22 06:40:23
Will high tide cover him completely?

SippyGurl on 2016-12-09 07:28:44
no, you can still see de balzac

Ahhhhhh....Danny Kaye singing me to sleep. So glad I stuck around.

My all-time favourite:

"The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon; the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true.

Nor on my beagle.

skoogie2 on 2013-08-03 21:19:42
Nor on my daughter's cocker spaniel! She howls like a fire alarm!

oddcouple on 2013-11-11 16:10:43
Garfield?

scamp on 2014-02-23 17:12:01
So true.

universalmom on 2014-05-10 14:23:28
You should see how hard my husband smacks a snooze button...

I have tortoise that wakes us up on the weekends if we don't feed her on time.

skeeter on 2015-08-31 10:37:57
Oh, JenDiaz, I just have to ask how the tortoise does that.

Annamariah on 2016-01-09 22:37:38
This quote reminds me of Simon's Cat videos.

Jalapenoman on 2016-01-17 15:26:54
If I kept my pistol in the nightstand, I can't imagine how many times I would have been tempted to use it on my ex-wife's cat.

Jalapenoman on 2016-06-13 14:13:49
Yes there is. It is called throwing the cat out the window.

Lurker on 2017-07-23 11:37:28
Annamariah, I've seen those! My cat whacks me in the face just like Simon's cat when she's hungry for a midnight snack. Only she doesn't act innocent about it afterwards.

abra on 2017-10-29 12:37:37
Waiting for JenDiaz, to come tell us how a tortoise wakes them up. Do tortoises make noises?

where do they get the 'pictures' of these ancient men?

montyb on 2013-06-12 22:38:56
The ancient men trading card collection.

msswitch on 2014-08-21 05:36:14
This 'picture' is a detail from Saadi in a Rose garden, from a Mughal manuscript of his work Gulistan, c. 1645-- but I like the trading card idea.

[writeon]

Gandolph was on a trading card.

Everybody's an editor, everybody's a critic.

bansaisequoia on 2012-10-05 19:23:15
If someone roofies my beer, they've altered my draft.

Allen on 2013-05-22 14:39:24
Close the window, and eliminate the draft!

universalmom on 2016-04-05 06:33:42
Spoken like a true editor!

darkyr on 2016-07-13 06:30:18
In my draft, the part of the editor is played by the late HG Wells. In one scene, his zombified hand reaches out from his grave, red pen in hand, and starts marking up the epitaph on his own headstone.

Truly funny bansa

LLapp on 2017-01-18 03:51:39
darkyr, I will treasure that image!
