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

Robbert braided his beard in corn rows.
(He thinks it makes him look "hip")

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?

DJ isn't a misogynist; he just wishes that his wife would drop this whole wanting to work outside the home thing and get back in the kitchen to make him a sandwich.

Samantha sees some sort of a problem with that.

WriterWho has a little problem with pronoun confusion.
When she went to visit the Queen, she wore her crown and royal robes.

WW is trying to be the first to write an entire book in just one sentence. She is already stuck after only 46 pages!

iLion whistles while he writes. Taps his toes. Bops his head. He usually manages a paragraph before he feels the urge to really let it out. Opera.

I dropped my laptop on my toe the other day. I danced around and screamed obscenities and flailed my arms, and WriterWho just thought I was doing an Italian opera.

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."

DJ is the advertising exec who came up with the grocer's slogan, "You can whip our cream, but you can't beat our meat".

iLion disagrees with my slogan. Anyone can beat his meat any time they like.
