My Penis Log!

Day 1

The pills are here!!! The Fed Ex man ogled at me like I'm some sort of creep, but I couldn't care less. I popped 2 pills after lunch, gulped 6 liters of cider and ran 70 times in one circle, just as the instructions told me. XXL briefs, here I come!

Day 3

Still 5 inches. Running in circles left me sick. It's a bit eerie, I don't recall I had four nipples.

Day 7

I'm now primarily limping and falling over.
Reread the ingredients; it contains 'Lots of cat hair'. Did I overdose?

Day 10

I'm three-legged!... Well, mainly since I now have a leg instead of an arm. At least I don't fall over so often. No growth, but when I urinate, it comes out in some strange fluorescent colour.

Dya 23

snoozed for ten hours; can't get an erection. I'm not bitter, but I can't be alert for more than

yda 2.245/4

sleepy -- penis needs ambulance

Day 30

I grew an extra inch!!! ER surgeons borrowed tissues from the new ArmLeg to rescue the teeny, mutated penis, and after the transplant, I got a minor annex! 100% success, indeed!!!

Thanx, anonymous spammer!

LONG CATEGORY, July 2003:
3rd - Meyran Kraus with:
The odd origin of the word 'Orange' (quoted from "Etymologically Speaking")

Orange (Eng.); Orange (Fr.); Naranja (Sp.); Arancia (It.)
Interestingly, none of these terms come from the Latin word for orange, citrus aurentium; instead, they all come from the ancient Sanskrit naga ranga, which literally means "fatal indigestion for elephants." In certain traditions the orange, not the apple, is the fruit responsible for original sin. There was an ancient Malay fable - which made its way into the Sanskrit tongue around the Seventh or Eighth Centuries B.C. - that links the orange to the sin of gluttony and has an elephant as the culprit. Apparently, one day an elephant was passing through the forest, when he found a tree unknown to him in a clearing, bowed downward by its weight of beautiful, tempting oranges; as a result, the elephant ate so many that he burst. Many years later a man stumbled upon the scene and noticed the fossilized remains of the elephant with many orange trees growing from what had been its stomach. The man then exclaimed, "Amazing! What a naga ranga (fatal indigestion for elephants)!"

=
Other amazing examples:

'I'm pregnant' - It appears that the source of the word 'pregnant' is linked to the Albanian saying (mainly used by young adults), "Amah, preh ann ante", that states: "Honey, I think we're screwed".

'Britney Fans' - Amazingly, the phrase doesn't refer to the singer, as such; in fact, it's one of a few entertaining Latin anagrams from the nineteenth century, of 'Bres Infanty', more or less translated to: 'The Infants who are drawn to an Ample Mammary Gland'.

'Sequel' - An alteration of 'Sechu Wal', an Argentinian gang-slang phrase which means "Another kick to the groin" (often that of a mugging victim lying injured in the street). It was popularised by H. Wood, the aging leader of the Calephornea gang, constantly asserting that "it could gain one more profit - well, nine times out of ten".

'God' - One of the hardest origins to find; Some tenable theories: The archaic Finnish 'Gutenn', which meant either 'A nobler one' or 'Mail fraud'; Pompeii's "Gatne chenuale!" ("Thanks a bunch for that crater!"); And the Hebrew "Tiru et ha-Godel!", or: "Wow, what a fat ass!", allegedly what Moses yelled at the Lord's apparition on Mount Sinai.

[Office of the Press Secretary, October 24, 2003]

The President's Ramadan Message

I send greetings to Muslims in the United States and around the world observing the holy month of Ramadan.

Ramadan is the holiest season in the Islamic faith, commemorating the revelation of the Qur'an to Muhammed. This month of introspection provides Muslims a time to focus on their faith and practice God's commands. Through fasting, prayer, contemplation, and charity, Muslims around the world renew their commitment to lead lives of honesty, integrity, and comion.

Throughout our history, people of different faiths have shaped the character of our Nation. Islam is a peaceful religion, and people who practice the Islamic faith have made great contributions to our Nation and the world. As Americans, we cherish our freedom to worship and we remain committed to welcoming individuals of all religions. By working together to advance freedom and mutual understanding, we are creating a brighter future of hope and opportunity.

Laura joins me in sending our best wishes. Ramadan mubarak.

George W. Bush
=
[Translation from Arabic of the actual message]

Could the camel-fornicator that finds our memo please it along to the People of Iraq?

Hi, Arab maggots! It's me, Mr. G. I just wanna inform you of them funds heading your way - and of the conditions them funds involve. Nope, our dime sure doesn't come cheap. There's a reason we're the world's richest nation, and I intend to maintain this title.

First: Give me my nuclear weapons back. Our army slaved on them top-notch pieces of arsenal; Saddam bought them from America for a fair price and promised to trigger them when we give him the order. Not only this traitor didn't come through, now you are claiming this prime nuclear goodness disappeared into thin air? C'mon, Donald begs for his uranium to return - be fair to him, the man can't live without it.

Second: Does the phrase 'Christ Is Your Friend' ring a bell? Get used to it.

And last one: Capitalism. Nuff said.

George

P.S. Laura is curious: why would someone want to celebrate the Ramada Inn? She reminded me of that night we spent there and got a stomach flu virus from their room service. I think she has a damn good point.
