> Do you win? Hmm, how can I answer this? Is Smashin' Sachin the best batsman since The Don? Was Krishna Arjuna's charioteer? Was Parvati the mother of Vinayak? Is Kali a killer? Is a great curry a sublime joy? May I stop now? Or must I go on?

Are you amazing or are you amazing? WOW!

Does the spearmint lose its flavor
On the bedpost over night?
If you pull it out like rubber
Will it snap right back and bite?
If you paste it on the left side
Will you find it on the right?
Does the spearmint lose its flavor
On the bedpost over night?

Hey guys, did you ever give a thought to that poor cactus? Don't you think it's pretty much beat up by now? Can't you think of other ways to get excited?

And aren't there other selections from the "Book of Cactus Beatitudes" such as "he who sits on mighty cactus is a multi-pointed individual?" And don't those ladies who might be noting the non-gender-neutral he in the proverb realize that if I used "she sits on a mighty cactus" I'd run the risk of being labeled a misogynist?

Is this another one of those blankin' duplicate posts!? Is this a segue into my warmth for thorns and their prickings!?
How's that for some makeshift editing?

DONG! That's a definite full stop, twice over. edit: When the toad hops up with Could they be remiss with their expedience, mav-arch? in a hopeless attempt to confuse the issue, does he understand the word cheat? [/edit!]

Shall we play another round?

<When the toad hops up with Could they be remiss with their expedience, mav-arch? in a hopeless attempt to confuse the issue, does he understand the word cheat?>

Does our shaman of dubious entity understand that when he equates toad with the image of a cheat he is bound to libel and raise the ire of our froggy, new-fatherhood friend? right, Hyla?

And doesn't it seem that his phrase DONG! That's a definite full-stop, twice over. is the first non-question so brazenly posted in violation of the rules? And wasn't he really just pricking his own balloon?
And with this is there any reason I should not wholeheartedly rest my case? And will my said-accuser ever address the arch-Sybilhood of his appearances on this board, or will he just continue to hide behind the cactus flower?

do any of you have the slightest notion of just how confused and raddled I feel after reading all of this at this late juncture?! do you care?
