The Age of (Your Name Here)


(Your Name Here) asked me nicely to name this week's "age" after (her/him). (Other name) also hinted at the idea on the (board/game). Unfortunately, so did (other name), (other name), and (other name). I, being the take charge, decisive, energetic person that I am, set out to use my problem solving abilities to choose the (best/least annoying) (person/animal) for the honor. Then, I remembered, I'm really someone who just enjoys sitting on the fence, and so this is the "age" you're stuck with.

First, to give your down arrow a workout, 25 tokens to SoupEater.

Bob help me. I ran a phonograph needle through my thumbprint, and I got songs from "The Sound of Music." I haven't tried any of my other digits, but I'm hoping one of them has them lost Nixon recordings.

Today I inadvertently stumbled upon a great way to amuse myself while ensuring my 2yr old son will need 30yrs of therapy...It seems he's afraid of the attic fan at my sister's house so every time he walked under it, I lifted him up towards it and screamed "It's sucking you in!"

That'll teach him not to disturb MY sleep in the middle of the night!

And 15 tokens to ZYX, too. His first post sounds like the type of post which is funny because it's taken out of context. . .except it's not. Not taken out of context, that is. I'll defer to Zornog's for his opinion of its humor value. Oh, and it's official, a winning Viagra post.

More Zornog? Yep, more Zornog. Zornog wondered aloud:
"Man, I sure do hope Myrrh'll give me that big ol' 30 token prize this week, 'cause then I'll have enough to get a drink hugger... and boy, do my drinks need some hugs..."
Well, sure, okay. 30 tokens to Zornog. But I have to pretend to have a reason, so here's some "token-worthy" posts.

>>why cant you wait until carc sees that? you are silly>>
>>SWEET BLOODY JESUS!! COPY AND PASTE!>>

Hey that reminds me...


HOW TO MAKE A SWEET BLOODY JESUS:

Ingredients:
1 pint of Vodka
1 pint of Rum
2 tablespoons of vanilla
1 large melon, peferrable ripe
1 drop of Jesus Christ, our lord and saviour's, blood
1 pint of fecal matter from a hyena
1 filmstrip of a goat being milked
and
1 cherry

How to Prepare:

Mix ingredients together. Put concoction inside the bronchial tubes of your favorite housepet. Wait until the housepet "removes" the concoction. Put in oven for 400 minutes on .3 degrees. When the fecal matter turns a nice golden green, remove, cut into sizeable pieces.

How to serve:

This meal is best served to 3 year old boys who enjoy eating whatever they see. If their mother asks what the food is, quickly incapacitate the evil woman. Cut yourself a piece, hold your nose, and enjoy!

While passing by a funeral parlor today, I noticed a sign that said "24 Hrs. Service."

That could mean one of 2 things...
A) Now, I can get shot in a drive by at any hour of the day!
or
B) I can now torture my loved ones into staying in a room with a dead person for a whole day!

There are no undread articles in The Random Game Returns.
Would you like to list them all so you can skim read through around 800 threads that you've already read or didn't want to and pressed "mark read" because you are so incredibly pathetic that you have nothing better to do, you no life loser?
