DJ has the uncanny ability to discern that SLS's maiden name was Australian slang for "sandwich."

Wait, that's not a lie, but it is outrageous ...

Only in Australia a sand witch is an evil sorceress who turns the desert against people.

Samantha is the kind of sandwich that comes on whole wheat or rye.

Drachen Jager downs whiskey morning, noon, and night. Vodka between. Beer is his mouthwash.

One wonders what he pours in his cereal.

Sandwich Lane (as she's named on her birth certificate) collected all of her picked-off scabs from childhood and swapped them with your Corn Flakes.

About a year ago, WW gave up to complete a 1.500 piece jigsaw puzzle and shoved the cornflakes back into the box.

She's been disgruntled ever since

Lavern has written to the Baltimore Ravens, telling them she will date all the players and show them "a real good time" if they win the Super Bowl. She says she knows this will motivate them, but she hasn't heard back yet.

Nymtoc wrote me a note inviting me to NYC.

He said he'd take me to the top of the Empire State Building and "show me the world," and then we'd dine on pasta at Mama Leone's.

He's bummed because I haven't replied yet.

Lavern invited me for a rooftop picnic on top of the World Trade Centre. I was pretty pissed to get there and see it's gone.

When did that happen?

WriterWho has a little problem with pronoun confusion.

iLion went to the opera once. Mid-way through he elbowed the portly woman next to him and said, "Let me know when you're going up, I want to get out of here early enough to beat the traffic."
