Mr. Flav - would nudity disqualify a contest entry? I'm asking for a friend who is me.

I should clarify that I riding in East Silesia at the time. The sheer force needed to propel me from Boston to Prussia would render me into rhubarb jam.

I will not return to the Kennedy Center until Trump schedules a Mud Bog race inside of it.

Tennessee's long holdout was due to their State law that requires every female born there to have the middle name "Sue" or "Mae". It played holy hell with their voter rolls.

Accuse me of robbing the cradle if you like, but I dearly want Catherine to lift me over her head until I squeal 😍

Oh, what a delightful trip down memory lane. "The Discerning Nun", this was my brand of choice! Not a surprise at all that it went ignored in Paris.

It's about time! Having to carry lumps of coal as currency any time I travel to Bulgaria is incommodius in the extreme. And if you "make it rain" in a Bulgarian Gentlemen's Club, you give the dancers Black lung.

Samuel, in your entry from the day previous, you mention a dinner of mackerell and pease. I would suggest these as the source of your tormenting wind.

Dear Liz, you started out great here. A list of factual, despicable events that no true American could ever conscience. You then threw it all away with the blandest, lackadaisical non call to action. Next time you issue a statement, have an aide pull your hair strongly whilst composing.

Though, I will add that the new "Create Your Own Naughty AI Girlfriend" flyer that I am seeing online recently sounds promising, as well.

Two weeks in the open ocean to Halifax, and that sand-bagging nerd hid his coffee from me the entire way.

While I vociferously agree with the language here, I still consider this image to be Defamatory and you will be hearing from my solicitor. I have never once donned purple hosiery in my life, Sir.

If anyone was going to accomplish this, it was Tyler. Fifteen "official" children and a host of others sprinkled across the South. He couldn't keep his tippecanoe in his pants.

Running this swill is proof positive there isn't a single journalist of integrity left alive in the offices of this mullet-wrapper of a paper.

I anticipate Harvard will next announce they are expelling all international students immediately, thus baiting the Trump admin into a Looney Toons "Duck Season - Wabbit Season" bit.

Leopold was in truth one of the most attractive monarchs in all of Europe at the time. But, due to excessive inbreeding, if he saw a bee he had to try and eat it, just like a canine.

I do believe you are correct. The damned Freemasons seduced me with only those delightful secret handshakes, it doesn't take much.

I give you John Sherman - he literally forgot he was annexing Hawaii while doing it.

By the end of the war Francis Marion had only 7 fingers left because he couldn't resist poking these damnable things.

A stirring piece and a fitting choice. Though, as I told Strauss to his face when I met him in Vienna, "If you think that much abused river is anywhere close to blue, have your eyes examined, forthwith!"

Let's all pray this goes better than the 1860 Royal Tour, when the Prince of Wales was set upon by a rutting moose and was never able to play the viola again.
