Can’t match that wood.

What do you call it when you can’t remember phrases like “L’esprit de l’escalier” unless you reread RBioN?

Chili flavored ice cream sounds better than pickled flavored.

Take a hike. Walk it off.

I think Trojan had the glowing wood idea first.

Just last night, I came up with a joke about termites finding wood that was too spicy.

I trust it was well-seasoned.

(1.) A hare brained fact?

(2.) I imagine he kept his cool.

(3.) His pigeon English gave him away!

(See Ripleys a year ago. It’s taken me a whole 12 months to come up with this crap!)

Appalachian Mountain folks have known glowing wood fungus as “Foxfire” for many years.

I think Marcie was try to teach Peppermint Patty that french phrase at one time. Oh, and I’m well over my 2 Billionth second of life.

What I wouldn’t give for a quart of that Graeter’s ice cream-I love Skyline Chili. Unfortunately, it’s regional and you could never get it in New England.

Roughly 31.688087814 years, correcting for leap years.

I’m over 2,000,000,000 seconds. Wouldn’t count on 3,000,000,000.

You experience your billionth second at 31 unless you travel into space before you are 31.

And the trillionth second would happen when your body is 31,000 years old.The U.S. government is 36 trillion dollars in the hole.

I don’t think I have a problem believing that somebody came up with some new ice cream flavor.

I thought so.

“Scientists have developed glowing wood using bioluminescence fungus” Can anyone tell us why!?

Another contemporary question would be regarding the money spent for this “development”; no doubt a Government Grant and is DODGE aware of it?

I’ve seen glowing lichen or fungus on the bark of trees in the Adirondack mountains – it doesn’t grow too big.

What did they do? Collect a bunch of it and press it into particle board?

Why? Luminescent wood! Besides, fungus would or should, rot the wood.

Why would I need wood that glows in the dark?

I think I’m at 2,250,000,000 seconds.

Remember he Seinfield episode where George kept driving between NYC and Philadelphia because he could not think of comebacks soon enough?

“Well, the jerk store called, they’re running out of you!” – George Castanza in “The Comeback” episode.

I was surprised to learn that stepping on a crack really breaks your mama’s back

. . . and stepping on a line really breaks your father’s spine.

Unfortunately for me, my wife just stepped on a rock!

Graeter’s is only in Cincinnati,but next to Philly’s BASSETT it’s the best in America

Okaaay. You’re 31 at a billion seconds. So why look like Chris Hansen is offering you cookies???
