ZOMG A friend of mine was describing how a possum had broken into her chicken coop and killed a couple of chickens. Neither of us knew that possums would do this. She said she had discovered one of the pullets dead one morning, and the coop door wide open.

I told her she had gotten a "Pullet surprise".

Years! Years I had waited for that opportunity.

Say-Birds! Blatantly stolen from the BBC's early 70's segment Sam on Boff's Island. Sort of...

Lototomized, ha! I love this site. Just my cup of verbal mischief. Thanks for the joy, Stewriffic.

Oh man, going through these more thoroughly, there are some really good neologisms. And the pictures are wonderful accompaniment. Totally a +fave.

Isn't neolojism what you get when you're a little too excited about your own cleverness?

As the wise old owl once said: I'm sorry, I hoot myself too.

I can't believe this woman linked directly to all the images she's loaded on her web site. She's stealing the images right off of their home servers.
