I had a fondness for Larry Anosmia too, one that parallels my fondness for Avril Cadavril.

An MS candidate, turned MW candidate who has no ability to smell the wine is just too rich. sorry to see him go, but that is how it is with MS and MW candidates.<br /><br />Its amazing how many candidates there are and how they sling around their candidacy like it was some kind of accomplishment. <br /><br />Hell, at that level, I am a major league centerfielder.<br /><br />So many good lines this time out.

I thought it was a real case that Humphrey Hosemaster took on from his Union Street office, and that we would soon find out that his partner had been rubbed out by a stray Champagne cork that made its way from under a trench coat when it was pushed by an overzealous Cristal lover with vivid imaginings and rising capacities.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322028233207741737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-53730946845891704592012-04-12T21:49:12.956-07:002012-04-12T21:49:12.956-07:00The "free run juice" line was my favorit...The "free run juice" line was my favorite too. <br /><br />I'm glad I discovered this blog.

Most of the jokes surprise me even though I wrote them. <br /><br />My favorite line, since that seems to be the theme so far, is <br /><br />"She pressed herself against me; it was a very gentle press, and I was briefly fearful I’d release some free run juice."<br /><br />Stupid to have a favorite joke you wrote yourself, but there it is.Ron Washam, HMWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238869156614617705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-28045920017394709182012-04-12T18:54:48.403-07:002012-04-12T18:54:48.403-07:00Ron,

And virtually nothing else.<br /><br />Thanks for sticking with my Pulp Fiction nonsense. I may be writing Chapter Four tomorrow.

There are sooooo many to choose from! But--if I had to choose, it's: "Crystal was better endowed than Stanford University, and had probably received as many incoming freshmen." That's classic. That's HoseMaster!<br /><br />It's funny too how whenever I start reading one of these Harlem Nocture starts playing in my head! Why is that?<br /><br />Waiting eagerly for chapter 4!Marcia Macomberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07237764449953259939noreply@blogger.com
