When the bum at the corner said he wanted to "eat me", I thought he was just one more pervert, at least until he aimed for my head.

Worms make lousy pets but it is entertaining when they eat your neighbors.

Steve could not begin to imagine, didn't want to imagine but couldn't stop himself from replaying again and again the image, even as a part of his mind balked and cowered, the thing that poked out for the briefest of seconds from behind the tree--stalking him.

The trouble with home cooking is that by the time the fire dies, all the good parts are charred.

Probably be scarier if I was American.
![]() Oops! Looks like I've been busted. Have to post another opening as penance. Let's see... Removing the bastard's teeth probably would have been easier if I'd gone through the mouth, but where's the fun in that?

John was a bright guy, and an excellent worker with a great future, but his habit of killing our CEOs and their children didn't fit in well with our business plan, so we had no choice but to murder him.

Oh, no! This post has no entry! Please edit your post to include an entry in the game. This is not a chitchat thread, scribbler!
My entry: I woke up naked under the golden gate bridge with my mouth full of blood and torn flannel pajamas. edit to add: Thank you, scribbler! Go in peace and sin no more. Edit to add an entry because this is not a chitchat thread: My fingers wouldn't stop strangling people. Last edited by badducky; 10-18-2008 at 02:47 AM. Reason: Thank you, Scribbler! |
