Title: This book?
Post by: texasmom on May 31, 2007, 02:31:07 PM: I was gonna put this on jhooks thread, but didn't want to hijack it.

What's the book where the kids kills the old man? The old man is almost entirely blind. And the kid inches toward him ever so slowly to prevent detection?

Meatwad it was the same thing that happened to RuMaL...

Late night pRon, macaroni and cheese, Diet Coke and a Fork..

Things happen, just wish he didn't have a fork in his hand. Went to drink a lil Coke inbetween scenes, fork in his hand....eyes.

Doctors say he can almost eat with a spoon now, yet there's Months of recovery.

Sad...

Post by: Meatwad on May 31, 2007, 06:35:22 PM: I think I know what happened..........diet coke and pron dont mix.

Now if it was pron, mac & cheese, alcohol, and a fork then it may of been a little different.

Doctor, doctor! I need help!

What happened?

I was eating mac and cheese with a fork, drinking whiskey, and watching some pron on the computer. I lost my fork and noticed it somehow got stuck in here *pulls pants down, whips it out*

How in the world did you manage that?!?

I seen a nude picture of Rosie O'Donnell and that was the closest thing I had to put it out of its misery.

YOU SEEN IT, YOU CANT UN-SEE IT.

Land based whales are not for the faint of heart.

Wheres me harpoon at!
