Flish recounted the horrors of his visit to the Western Sugar factory as Morbo frenetically sketched out the details (pausing only to wipe the sweat from his brow and roll his eyes).

Morbo's job as a verbal sketch artist for terrified 7-year-olds who see imaginary eyes under floorboards was just not paying the rent; he decided to include 6 and 8-year-olds as well.

The landord paused in his rapping on Morbo's door to pluck down the chicken-scratched note:

"Gone to Montana. Will return shortly. Please take in my mail and menus."

Jeeez, always with the menus. Can't a guy have just one paranoid freakout and live it down?

After the first incident, the local Chinese restaurant took care to advise their menu-toting marketers to ignore Morbo's door.

Tragedy struck the menu-toters community today, when a local forgot he had armed his land-mines.

Through the smoke wafting through his front yard, the eyebrowless Morbo delivered his interview to the local news station.

The disgruntled SWAT sergeant grumbled to himself as the panel van rumbled through the night on his squad's mission-- for the 3rd time in 2 months, they were going to deal with some jerk named "Morbo!"--this time, Morbo would pay, he vowed.

Flish, swaddled in teflon and kevlar, chose to nap and cuddle his diary on the way to the SWAT team's raid on the nefarious Western Sugar factory.

Can we change this thread title to "One-line harrassments of Morbo?" [Wink]

Way to keep up the good work, Flish.

Don't sweat it, Annie. [Big Grin] Morbo=the Professor
I know flish is just kidding, that's why I played along. As long as there's no dogpile.

And that eybrowless Morbo phrase was very funny, flish.

Bored with Summer reruns, childless, and beyond draft age, Bob had finally reached a place in his life where he felt he could really get behind a good war.

Dan strove hard to be one of the good guys, despite his occupation as goon, hit man, and mafia weasel. He tipped well.

I wouldn't come right out and say that Bob was a bloodsucker, but he was known to sleep with a measure of his native soil.

Whenever Gloria entered a room, the ambient temperature would drop several degrees and everything would shift a millimeter or two in a counter-clockwise direction around her.

flish, the French call that l'esprit d' escalier--the wit of the stairs.
I hate that feeling.

Morbo flashed on the perfect devastating put-down he should've thrown in that cocky bouncer's face just as his mug shot was taken. [Big Grin] [Cool]

The other nurses nudged each other as Nurse Marie began scrutinizing the patient's chart because they all knew she would instantly see the glaring lab and dosage errors, and that she would soon give the snotty young intern his comeuppance; she had been known to change med students minds with a single, well-placed hmmph!?

Sara, your mother sounds like the kind of nurse we all pray we get.
May le bon Dieu look over her always.

My 1000th post, dedicated to her memory.

Despite the often pitiful pleas of horrified bystanders, Bob would often belt out the Ethel Merman show-tune standard "III love a parade!" in an off-key falsetto while waiting in line. [Wink]

Possibly inspired by Ben Stiller in Permanent Midnight

Bob cherished those special moments when people would laugh nervously at his jokes and show genuine relief when he left the room.

Nathan was like a steak drowned in BBQ sauce; he had an excellent flavor all to himself, but no one would ever know because of all that sauce.

In the great book of Life, Bob was entered in the margin with a notation reading "dies while doing the dishes after everyone else adjourns to the living room to play parlor games."

Jill was the kind of girl that would run through life wearing 6 inch platform sandals, and it was only a matter of time before she missed a step and fell into some cowpies.

Abby was faintly stout, but she carried her surplus flesh sensuously as some women can.

Annie's excessive use of eye makeup was an excellent indication of the decadence and depravity of modern morality.

(plus, she was an avid aspiring alliterationist)
