The First Thing That Comes to Your Mind
Alice took the first step to her thousand-mile journey.
Fortunately, she turned her ankle and had to postpone the trip.
She hopped on her way back home.
Then she swayed and exclaimed, her eyes sparkling and wide, “I’ve invented the Electric Slide!”
Electric Slide: An Escalator of Doom
The elementary decided against installing the electric slide; too much liability.
Who even knows how to play Four Square on the playground anyway?
How many times did we argue over the rules?
I lost count after Sarah threw a cherry bomb into the bushes and hit a beehive.
Flushing a stink bomb down a school toilet isn't as fun as you'd think it'd be. Especially when it ends in suspension.
Suspension is just a three day vacation from school.
And to hang in is putting up with being in a state of suspense.
A state of suspense? There must not be very many kids attending school in that state.
Perhaps not, but their animation will be suspended by suspending their disbeliefs.
Suspend their beliefs? How? Did they string them up and hang them from the ceiling?
(I think it was Coleridge who came up with the phrase willing suspension of disbelief.)I no longer take my disbeliefs with me to school. They were suspended.
Will your beliefs get lonely without your disbeliefs?
the vacancy of virtue is the hand of true torture
When I’m lonesome and afraid, I take refuge in certainties.
Lonesome, I am certain, and when afraid - refuge takes me in.
A true certainty? Or only what you believe is certain?
Certainty is true. A certain belief is only what you ore/oar/or/. :) ore/or/oar.
I couldn’t decide whether to paddle or row. It was an either/oar situation.
situate yourself in a row and decide if you should paddle your body's arms & legs, or torso.
Iambic paddles now. Game unknown. ~ :)
To oar or not to oar, is that the question? Whether tis nobler to row the boat in the face of roaring crowds, or hoe the row of Elysian fields. To row? To hoe? Aye. There's the stock, for who can know what oars may come after the boat is docked.
Of which much of day time and evening talk shows seems to be comprised: the dishing of soap and disses.
where'd i leave my car keys? sweetheart have you seen my cellphone? i think i lost my marbles...
marbles are only produced in West Virginia.
My friend from West VA said he got his license early because of some law there.
The reason the phrase 'lay down the law' is popular is because it can be easily laid and put away.
keys are in the freezer, phone's in the oven, can't help you with the marbles
Thousands of little glass marbles cascading off of a sheer cliff, the tinkling sound of them colliding.
The park ranger looked at the devastated forest and wondered who had lost their marbles and why.
white chocolate rice crispy buns ...emmmmm
Two scoops of Rocky Road at Marble Slab Creamery.
just finished a book in which they crossed a rocky road.
Books with their wordy legs crossed the busy streets.
A new library just opened in town. It smells all wrong because it's too new to smell like books yet.
That new book smell just can't compare to the scent of our older paper companions.
One book is like a piece of heaven. And an entire library is like paradise!
the bookshelf lined the wall. there was a ladder that reached the ceiling, and I began to climb.
I was cleaning my room
And organizing everything.
Anything is possible.
