about poop so much?
252 Whatever happened
to Tone Loc?

for fun?

257 Did Amaedus rock
people old-school?
258 Do Wolf Nipple
Chips (or CHiPs for that matter) taste like chicken?
259 Since bungholes
are the stops for a keg or beer barrel, does that
mean we are living, walking
beer barrels?
260 Why do dogs and
dictators like to mark their territories?
261 If one pulls out
all stops, does that mean the light will actually
stay green on Kingston Pike?

normal people on talk shows?

zit commercials, the only people they show are the
popular kids who probably
never really have any major outbreaks anyway?
Aren't the other high school
castes being discriminated against, by
showing only the ruling
caste of the popular kids? Help, help, they're
being repressed! Bloody
snobby pig-dogs!

one of us, a slob like one of us?
280-294 uhhhh, read the

point you will get in a moment. Enjoy.

who were in charge of building the bridge in Hazzard
County also put in charge
of the construction on I-40 West in Knoxville?

317 Why is hair
washing an important part of many women's nights when they are

the seven year itch, expecially for sex, does that make that
person a Vulcan?
325 Are Chewbacca
and Kenny related, since they both speak kinda weird?

412 Has anyone
noticed that the effect of MTV's bad videos on viewership? I
mean, look, I know
there has to be at least one decent video, so I watch more
(and more and more...)bad
videos to see the good one. Diabolical plan, isn't
it?

tend to hang together and form their own
cliques?

came across the following
quote:
"Today the man of
knowledge might well feel like God become animal."

God on earth, or does

479 Why do people
who talk the most often have the least bit to say?

God do for fun?
481 Assuming
