we do our best; sometimes we
have to drink prune juice.”

Yeah, I know. But sometimes I write them just in case Philip Roth stops by.
Isn’t there supposed to be a reference to one of the seasons in there somewhere?
TW: I don’t know jack about haiku design17
Nitpicker.
What? No liver?
Just how would one go about cornering the kosher prune juice market?
Gallipoli and
Dunkirk too were naught next to
this bear of a pooh!
Jeff,
That one I actually thought was clever.
Well, thank YOU, steve ex-expat! Jeff is a snotty bastard who probably won’t even notice your comment, but the rest of us around here just live for the approval of moron trolls.
Seasons or nature.
Prune juice is a force of nature.
Worf says that prune juice is the drink of warriors!!! Don’t forget that and remember to drink your prune juice.
CraigC – you need prune juice cuz you appear to be full of it.
“I have nothing to offer but blood, toil…” no, I can’t do it!
“We shall fight them on the beaches; we shall fight them in the…” still can’t do it!
We will drink prune juice
On the beaches, in the streets,
Fucking everywhere.
God damn prune juice again?
I want a good cigar and whiskey.
Oh I wet myself.
In this context, “fucking” is meant as a gerund, or as an adjective?
So confusing.
Prune Juice! The fravored drink of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.
And of course, Steve double X pat.
And slightly OT, I think that Chris Dodd (my proud Senator) should run for president. If he won, he and The Swimmer could make waitress sandwiches in the oval office. Boy would that piss off Bubba, or what?
Sometimes a simple spoon can solve that which prune juice cannot.
How’s the pudding?
Why is it that, no matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to post anything that doesn’t have a spelling error? This is bad for my general “net” stature.
Could I actually be a mouth breather?
And, Jeff –
What’s with this “Cannot accept your comment at this time”? Is this some kind of new game? PW is worth the wait, but sometimes it gets boring resubmitting comments 12 times.
OK. Now what did I mis-spell?
Lost Dog —
What browser are you using and what is the exact error you are getting?
The only comment restriction I have turned on is a 10-second wait time between comments. This keeps the spambots from flooding the comments section.
My initials were W.C. for a reason, you know.
P.S. When I said “We shall never surrender”, of course I meant that we would never surrender unless our poll numbers got low enough. That fellow Petain certainly set me straight on a thing or two.
“We shall fight them on the beaches; we shall fight them in the juice aisle…â€Â
BECAUSE OF THE JUICE!
Sometimes prunejuice is
not enough and you need to
drink castor oil too.
Jeff –
I am using IE (6.0, I think), and my computer is from sometime around the civil war. (My almost ex-wife took the Dell). It is probably my unit, especially if no one else is having this problem. I just keep getting the “Can’t accept etc”, but, for the most part, it usually does eventually accept it.
Not a major problem. As soon as i finish paying my wife and replace my van (which is now the largest leaf blower in New England), I’ll grab a new ‘puter.
In the meantime, you are still the best, and despite my financial problems, I just put at least enough money in your tip jar for a cup of coffee.
PW is as much a part of my day as chronic depression. Thanks again for this brilliant oasis.
Prune juice
you make my bowels loose
you send everything through me
prune juice.
Prune juice, I think I…love you
If you don’t get that sluggish colon taken care of, Sir Winston, they’ll have to operate.
And then you’ll have a sluggish semicolon.
Prune juice, I think you move me
Nancy Astor: “Winston, if I were your wife, I’d put prune juice in your coffee.”
Winston Churchill: “Nancy, if I were your husband, I’d need it.”
“Would a sluggish semicolon interfere with my period?”

IE 7 gives error messages too, but the post goes through.
And back on topic, in the immmortal words of Tom T. Hall:
Some men drink alcohol
Some men drink juices of the vine
But as for me, I’m very simple
Give me coffee every time
Cuz it really helps me
get goin’ in the morning, ya know?
Hey, what’s with all this high-fallut’en hakku junk?
I’m just a regular guy.
Yeah! What HE said!
Thanks to those bran muffins, right?
one of the funniest places around. thank you all. did not lough like that in some time.
Fuggin ELITIST!
No, it ain’t no fag branmuffins.
It’s the beans, genious.
Drumwaster,
Hey, nitpicking on Jeff’s haiku form is my schtick, so you owe me royalties.
Those don’t keep you regular—they just power the hot tub.
