1. family, friends

     The subset of malicious

            nodes found amongst

            snapshots of dogs in

        the midst of a flooding

        river is the only variety of

            denial-of-service attacks

            that kicks off with a dub

        take from the man himself.

2. protecting the sugar crop

      When hot sell
                 leather lingerie
   designed for the
              fast restoration of
                       dull knives 
            

          can visually expand
                to fill a small

                       room or a
                narrow space,

                             what's a Wii
                   fanboy without
            a Wii to call his
        own to do?

4. "Go find the enemy!"

There are a lot of correct

predictions here. Classic

rhomboid patterns appear

& any benefits that may

be payable upon your

death outside of Denmark

are subject to a barrage

of name & member changes.

Substitute fossil fuel con-

8. a / blazing hot / day in Gaza

Ponder the metaphysics

of it & you'll never hurt

rock 'n' roll again. A lone

figure is lit up in the middle

of a clearing but the space is

empty. It's a nifty illusion

created by a laser, a beam

splitter, an investment bank,

& some Sumerian slot machines.

9. random salamanders

Our brunch is unbeatable

when mixed with a hyper-

light-speed antenna, be-

comes a major conduit to

boost your public profile

despite a ban on all electronic

devices bigger than an avocado.

Ethylene gas would make the

Empire State Building ripen

faster, but my kids don't

want that. At least, not yet.
