Seeing it on a bumper sticker does lend a certain gravitas. It's still not as scary as those Obama bumper stickers, though.
PS, you don't know if I'm talking about

Billy the bad-ass cowboy walked into the saloon.
The dead man looked up from his cards, glaring.

Proudly showed her changes he made. Clutter everywhere. Jaw dropped. "No. I said I wish you were more like the RAT PACK."

drabblings is pronounced, "Drabble-ings."

+1 for half-a-century-old pop reference that few of these whipper-snappers will get.
Also, I don't think the girls actually appreciated the rat-pack in the harsh light of the morning after.

In maths, "e" is the natural base of everything, not 10. But, "e" is irrational -- proving that mathematicians are nuts!

And thus also inadvertently proving why I like Math.

She brought soft gifts, food, and tiny hearts. She loved him so. Disgusted, all he saw were animal carcasses. She meows.

Dagon played on my fears. My fear of Girl Scouts. So, the cops nabbed him and Dagon's in jail. The Girl Scouts are at large.

The aliens solemnly spake unto me: "Take us to your leader.
Nah, just kidding, we're totally going to blow your shit up!"
I was torn between drabble and twabble for this one, but time lent itself to twabble. I may try a drabble version later. Also, that twabble sizer rocks!

Some folks say the ghosts of the Skeptics Society still haunt these back roads; eternally debunking the supernatural.

The gibbering, weeping throng hushes as the Wall of Adoration rolls in. With drooling ecstasy they watch the paint dry.
