"join the french cut green bean army," "pizza swan," and "water is underwater"
join the french cut green bean army
the old face-in-the-food gag
good for laughs at the base
mirrorshow faxes
squirshed head & letterbook
this is the x-country of the spools
sun flinch or 5¢
the flint mich coupon
ghh
that face using decimals
pizza swan
I didn’t eat the earth, as you say I did
after all, we are on earth now
yes, but it’s in your stomach
no, it’s not
would you like to bracket the bullmost
theft of oxygen, too
the late show host holds up a sign:
your relief is like a grape balloon
moonsled ride at 4 in the dark
water is underwater
in thin dime situations,
it is best to remain calm
a found flannel ensures warmth
you are a smaller version of yourself
spinach is your invincible
iron man on the move
