I change D by N, cause, I don't have dog, but some neibors. thanks!! Great Joke.

Rarely seen such a funny post with so much "finesse", in it. The great link form MSRP to newbie made me "ROFLMAO" , Even as good as I was to get always the last mark in gymnastics, it is physically possible. Thanks a lot for this moment ! Francois

--- I miss "Patek Philippe". Can I deduce from your nickname PP Later" that you will compensate that lack in future?

Dear PPlater, This post regarding definitions about the instruments collectively known as CLOCKS, n. A machine of great moral value to man, allaying his concern for the future by reminding him what a lot of time remains to him. A busy man complained one d... 

We need more threads like this to weave such cloth. amerix

If you put 1000 WIS in a room with a keyboard each I doubt they would come up with as concise a list of definitions. Superbly dry, deeply funny, very insightful and worryingly close to the truth at many points. Another thread to add to my list of all-time... 

Damn Brilliant and Fresh Post, pplater. Thanks a lot, we needed something like that, really. Back to watches, et à la Passion, une fois, Hermano. Grazie, meine freunde. Cyber Nico.

Post of the month. This can go down as the WIS lexicon version 1. Great entry for a new millennium while causing many to ROFLTAO. I especially like the A entries. Thanks pplater.

and each of will buy you a drink. Then wait, patiently for you to espouse more legal-WISdom, such as, "But your honor, I didn't know he was an undercover AD. I was merely trying to circumvent the manufacturer's brick-&-mortor price policies." -Dean

from the Wizard of Prose. Bad try to rhyme it with Oz, I know. All attempts to reach even a fragment of the magic your words impart just expose us lowly scribes further as mere pen pushers. Still, we are enriched by reading your verses. Thanks for taking ...
