If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Step into the pitch of dark, in the distant hear demons bark.

Listen to the sound of the evil growl, the hounds of hell are on the prowl.

Burning from the depths of hell, you are moving closer to the yell.

It's so rude the way I keep finding a lit cigarette burning in the ashtray.

I live alone, and I don't smoke.

Sitting on the path of hell, in the midnight hour hear the raven yell.

Ugh, those loud, lewd and rude idiots upstairs are at it again! Already complained to the landlord I couldn't sleep and was late for work on account of their crazy racket -- he just laughed and said I shoulda paid him the extra thousand gold for a properly sound-proofed crypt.

The window washer is always staring at me like a creep when I eat lunch at my desk.

A man was walking in the distance. It was a dead end.

I look out the window and see no one sitting in the deck chair. They look in the window and see no one sitting in my chair.

So here I am, minding my own business, when this bat-poo crazy Karen jumps outta nowhere and starts yelling: "Go back to Transylvania!" in my face. Witch, please -- I was born bred and bitten in New York.

My boss is always yelling at me because the inventory keeps disappearing.

Just to set the record straight, Karen, traditional zombi's -- no "e" attached, btw -- are absolutely nothing like that nonsense on the telly. If we really did eat brains, we'd have gone extinct ages ago because it's glaringly obvious you humans don't have any.

It involved much naming of Names and many forbidden curses, then the pushing of the Sacred Start Button two, nay three times. There may also have been a sacrificial virgin ... no wait, that was a chicken blessed by the Colonel himself and anointed with the Secret Sauce. ;-)

I have reset three times. I have turned it on in front of someone else. The only thing that worked was the sacred key. I do not consume chicken. They are fowl creatures. (pun intended)

(long sentences, but I'm rarely here these days, so forgive...wonderful creative work everyone, and no surprise given the level of talent) (hi wolf! sorry I've been gone a long time...)

Your face was swirling mists, your body a ragtag of ancient blood-stained tatters, and your aura a stinging icy wind, invisible in the night but turning me to chunks of frigid granite even 20 feet away. You wafted to me, gazed into me with infinite sadness, kissed me deeply, lingering for what felt like an eternity (I was breathless!), then walked away, gliding down the street to the first door you saw, where you cried, "trick or treat!" causing me to mutter (as I swore I never would since the day you left this earth), "even in death, my heartbreaking blue-white mist, you're still, and always will be, a freaking joker..."

They say the house at the end of the lane is haunted, but if you ask me that's nonsense. I've been here since 1885 and I've yet to see a ghost.

Went to step outside. Ran into the glass door.

"Purple polka dots all over ... Mama, is that lady sick?"

"No dear, just very rude to the wrong wizard." ::cheers former Potions master::

Trims nails. Cuts to the quick.

Takes a step. Stubs toe.

Pushes bread down in the toaster. It never pops back up.

There, in the heart of the monster's lair, the chieftain's daughter, Helga, her handmaids -- every female who had been abducted or had otherwise disappeared within the last three moons -- were gathered around the fire-breathing beast, paying eager, rapt attention to his every word as the Great Dragon taught them how to read.
