It violates the rules of this thread to make any sense. Or to be uncreative.
Grammatical errors will be tolerated but may be derided. I finally went through with the plastic surgery. For years I've been getting up the nerve, but I finally did it and it was a big success, so I'm very happy. The doctor flattened and blended my nose into my face, smoothed my eyelids down into my cheeks, and eliminated my mouth. It looks kind of like a wooden spoon.

I rather regret giving Bea Arthur (Boogles Rosco to her friends) the Pi. It was a very nice Pi, with bits and flanges and rounded edges. I quite liked the section with the 3; very poetic. And tasty.

The spare pumpkin rattled, as though it didn't work as a lampshade. Nonetheless, the resemblance to Christopher Wren was, expectedly, faint.

Christopher Wren, it is little known, was born Christopher Robin. He changed his name after getting infamously involved with Winnie the Pooh. Another child star victim, Wren suffered in his adolescence from the fame of his pre-teen rollicking-with-stuffed-animals years.

For the love of Pete, will someone turn down this thread? It's too loud! And the salad is dressing.
Pass tomorrow's bananas today, before they get too green.

Since the senses seek to sense the sense in the senseless, it is senseless to seek the sense for there is no sense and the seeking senses simply go on seeking...senselessly. This actually makes sense so posting it in a senseless thread is senseless, therefore the senseless act of posting this in a senseless thread is entirely appropriate because it is senseless to make any sense here.

The suitcase is on the porch and the mailman is in the fridge. Don't forget to take your little brother out to fly before we leave. He gets cranky without his leg.

Word on the street is "XING AHEAD." It's painted on in big yellow letters. I think it's Pinyin for something. "Death," maybe. There is a lot of death on the roads. It could be a council initiative to reduce the road toll. Like on the Coquihalla Highway; the toll is $10! That's a lot cheaper than death, though, so perhaps it's working. Funerals can easily run into the thousands.
