In Iowa this week slimy politicians pretended their humanity (anthropomorphizing) by way of the mindless ramblings (excursives) of surrealistic (Kaufanique) nonsense (jabberwocky) of which the unslimy Iowaians wouldn't or couldn't swallow (dysphagia). No? Well then, how about a Christmas Carrol? a nonsense poem a language disorder a rambling speach a surreal distortion of language And lastly, the ascription of human traits to a Jabberwock. Huh? Oh well, I just don't know and damnit I give up. Edited by themilum (12/23/07 10:50 PM)

Oh, to hell with you and Anu I'm going to bed...good damn night!

BranShea Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/23/06 Posts: 5295 Loc: Netherlands, the Hague	Originally Posted By: tsuwm so there were only 50 correct entries -- I just don't have any luck at lottery drawings, which is why I save my money when the jackpots get big. give me games of skill, like poker. -joe (said with a straight face) friday Which indicates that you got it right, no? I'm a total loss at easy riddles, so leave off those tougher ones.

Against a small bribe the loot will still be yours.

BranShea Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/23/06 Posts: 5295 Loc: Netherlands, the Hague	Talk of special finds: John Donne, new to me! Sites about him lead back to the luminarium site. Really need a second lifetime to explore all this. Your la-di-la-di-la riddle is wasted on the likes of me.But thanks for the new 17th cent.metaphysical poets. John Donne
