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-
sumption for the newts,
but note that ATTACK

A dance is never

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.

Colonoscopy is contra-indicated

bottom-dwelling "walking" fish.
