Look they only wanted to do that cuz they heard you were 3 doors down from the panic at the disco last night. Then they heard you were having a green day and decided to give you three days grace. If you're lucky you can probably grab a bus to the Linkin Park Zoo and see the gorillaz, but be careful I heard the zoo is having trouble trying to cage the elephant after it got loose. You can always go ghost if you feel like you might fall out, boy. Just don't step in a puddle of mudd on your way to pay the bus driver, who you gave 10 cent too much and got a nickleback. Now if you'll excuse me I need get back to my veterinarian job and finger eleven giraffes in the darkness with my wolfmother while she eats my fresh picked korn.
my cheical romance is coming to our house to shoot us with a gun

Here's a Fun Fact, did you know this!?
"Was it a car or a cat I saw"
Spelled backwards is:
"Was it a car or a cat I saw"
Can someone remind me what you call these types of play on words? Also, if you know anymore, please share! :)
I am overjoyed that you've come across my handmade work! These are fascinating pieces that continue to captivate my attention since seeing them back in the early 90s. #corememory
I construct every piece by hand as you can see in the video. Please help me decide on a name for this crackly-blue colour way, as it's current name (Crackled Cobalt) feels a bit uninspiring...
Please consider reblogging/sharing my post as this helps get the word out that these still exist! I'm certain for every 10 reblogs, it'll cross paths with someone who also shares memories of these when they were younger.

the verb "to skin" seems like it should mean "put skin on" rather than "take skin off". imagine if we did this with other verbs. i'm going to hair my head (shave my head). i'm going to water the plants (suck them dry). i'm going to paint the wall (scrape all the paint off). i'm going to pants - no wait that one actually works that way. so, skin and pants. the two things more known for being taken off than put on.

Next Stop
Okay so here's the thing--
My guard went out to lunch
Then one shuffled up offering
Profundity temporarily covering
Nitty-gritty insipidity--for shame!
Trenchcoat drenched...look away.
Parking my backside on a bench,
Sitting out another grand slam game;
Pop up scrimmage on the fly,
Suiting up umpire style...
Learned lesson, belatedly applied.
Supplanted, supply and demand
Disenchanted by an elephant
In the room I read wrong.
My head can't wrap around
Tunnel vision distance...
Put the fun in funneling,
The scam in scampering.
There's nothing to see here--
Heavily cloaked fully clothed,
Dragging busted baggage...
So it's not just a compact carry-on.
That's fine, I'll take my chances
On the next bus to stop by.
Prompts: there's a thing, park bench

A ghost from Generic Fantasy Past possesses a modern human but doesn't have complete control.
Something happens which startles both of them.
The ghost attempts to say "what sorcery is this?"
The human simultaneously tries to say "what the fuck?"
What actually gets said is "What fuckery is this?"

Google docs trying to change "have good taste" to "taste good".
Yep, those two things mean exactly the same thing. I foresee no problems.

An email from my alma mater
Me: "What are they teaching those fish?!"
Dad: "How to solve their own problems."

Coordination
Mutual appreciation
No depreciation in value
Nor use for self-
Deprecation
Simultaneous equations
Sixty-nine problems
One smouldering solution
Yin yang give-and-take culminating
In a satiating conclusion

it’s cool how “i gotcha” and “i gotchu” are two slangy ways to write “i got you” but they have distinct meanings

Writing a sequel to One Becomes Two (just because I want to). The title is Two Become One, and yes, I'm very proud of myself for that.

Popty ping is one Welsh term for “microwave” and isn’t that just a delightful bit of onomatopoeia? Makes me think of popcorn. 🍿 Several people have brought it to my attention that this isn’t the standard term but I still think it’s quite fun to say. It’s always fascinating to see how language is used and words are created and what words indicate insider vs outsider. If I’m ever able to travel to Wales I will make sure to use meicrodon instead.
