Thanks for coming by, Ryan! I just think it's funny that Glenn Beck doesn't talk anymore about all those dogs he tortured and killed (pit bulls).
I like your poem, Shimmy.
I think we are the game and the stage it's played on.
But the dead pit bulls might disagree.
I like Buddha, but I also like The Grudge.
Thanks, Bill! I'll be the first to let you know if Glenn Beck talks about all those dogs (pit bulls) when his new show on Pravda starts next month.
Oh, The Grudge. I saw that on TV once when I was sleeping in the empty wicker newspaper basket. I liked it a lot. I should watch it again.
(P.S. The mice in the kitchen wall are the game, and the stage is right here, stretched out on the floor in front of the stove, waiting.)

Thanks for stopping by again, Ryan!
I just wish Glenn Beck would've thought about your question when he tortured and killed all those dogs (pit bulls).

The dogs (pit bulls) are the evidence, Ryan.
Thanks for stopping by again! Happy Inauguration Day!

Ryan, I really doubt you could look those dogs (pit bulls) in the eye and say, "Well, I'm sorry, pit bulls, even though Glenn Beck was caught with a 'break' or 'parting' stick for prying open dogs' mouths during fights and an electric treadmill modified for dogs (pit bulls), you're going to have to provide me with a more rigorous evidentiary milieu before I believe that Glenn Beck tortured you."
Thanks for stopping by!
