"A suburban distance lying across your chest, a purpled frock befitting the asphyxiated, cans of lima beans upon your knees, you are truly a goddess of disturbed tranquility!"
I'm willing to overlook the lima beans on my knees, but "a suburban distance"??? When I hear suburban, I think "suburban sprawl"... I don't think that being able to fit a suburb on my chest is a compliment.... not even in a surrealist mood.
"Dustmites all over the world love you for your lovely feet."
Which... kinda sounds almost like an insult. Dusty feet indeed!
But the next one was a bit more plain speaking:
"Certainly your trout are more proseperous to vaccuum than the flying coachmen of Czar Nicholai!"
I always knew my trout were special...

That statement is either so deep it would take a lifetime to fully comprehend every particle of its meaning, or it is a load of absolute tosh. Which is it, I wonder?

by the way...I've been convicted of Gramatical Homicide, and charged 18 years to life, so don't bother telling me about all the spelling mistakes. It's already on my record.
"Tribes of primitve hunters, with rhinestone codpieces rampant, should build pyra mids of Chevy engines covered in butterscotch syrup to exalt the diastolic, inef fable, scintillated and cacophonous salamander of truth which slimes and distracts from each and every orifice of your holy refrigerator, Sears be its brand."
Sooo... butch men in sparkly thongs give sacrifices of old engine parts to the soothsaying vermin in my sears refrigerator? *sigh* Why can't I get one like Nemades has? Very awesome site though, Kitten, quite enjoyable.
Aww, I am going to take that in a nice way, I wish Butch men in sparkly underwear would sacrifice cars to me!! That would definitely be a talking point at dinner!
You can have one of their lesser pyramids built out of car bits. I'm not using them, and neither is the salamander of truth, at the moment... I'm still trying to explain to my parents where the hunter-gatherers wearing rhinestones came from.
"The spark of intelligence in your blinking eyes is not unlike the glow from the teeth of an electrocuted axe-murderess." I always knew I had an electrifying gaze... ok, I'm leaving now...
You are the Ayatollah of Confusion on the night of Divalí.
Your pharyngeal hair tickles the divine underbelly of my terrestrial erector set with saponifying liquors.
What does the second one mean?
