8th post
Today, somebody threw a rock from my schoolyard that landed on somebody's car in the street below... "Uh oh. Uh oh. Def'nitely a rock. Makes trouble. Uh oh."
Floyd the Barber cuts my hair, too!
Just in case you're wondering, "Wakka Wakka" can also be used as a language. For example: "Wakka! Wakka wakka wak-wakka? Wakka, wak wak wakka," means "Hi! How are you? We're all fine here." To help clarify your point, it is helpful to use facial expressions, hand gestures, and changing inflections and accents among the words. If your friend indicates that he understands what you're saying, good for you. If he answers you in kind, you must be kindred spirits.
Do FAQs contain QEDs? Do I know? Do I even care? I just tip my cap and call the Yankees my baddies.
I love my bingely and my bingely loves me.
Anyone who doubts that humans have voice-boxes need only to look at my friend Nat. His Adam's Apple is almost as long as his nose.
I devoutly hope the Mets win tonight and that John Maine rebounds from a disappointing postseason. GO, ORANGE AND BLUE!

TODAY'S WEBSITE: www.terrypratchettbooks.com Terry Pratchett is one of the funniest writers alive (one of my favorite quotes about him is "[Pratchett] ought to be locked in a padded cell... and forced to write a book a month"), and was one of the top vote-getters in a recent poll on who was the UK's greatest living author (J.K. Rowling won by a handy margin). Personally, I rank him as the second-best writer I've read, and his famous satirical Discworld series is my fourth-favorite book/series; this website is incredibly informative about him and his books (including upcoming ones), as well as containing itineraries for book tours (O joy!) and links to Pratchett-related websites, the last mainly of interest to the more die-hard "TP" fans.
