ACK ACK, YAKKITTY YAK, YAKKITTY YAK! Don't Come, BACK! If You don't Come, then You'll BE Sorry!
Come ONE, Come ALL, The Big Tent is OPENED, The BIG EVENT is about to BEGIN! Love IS, Never Having, To Say, You're Sorry! Sometimes if You're Sorry enough, then you cry Tears of JOY, as YOU realize that IT IS POSSIBLE TO BE AN EVEN MORE SORRY ASS, than you already ARE! Tears of JOY are cried at BIG EVENTs when the lion tamer's head comes out of the lion's mouth unscathed, as the lion roars! Did anyone comprehend that skeleton of a three dimensional logic chain? Is there anyone out there with the GUTS to add flesh to the bare bones which I just gave? Did anybody even read this post? Who knows, Who cares? Ten minutes to construct it as a pre-breakfast exercise was a GOOD WORKOUT...
