Remove the ® from the person ahead of you when they aren't paying attention, replace it with © or ° or §, perhaps even ¥ which is kind of scary looking, and they will soon be on a steamer to the antarctic and out of your hair.

†"If your colon don't glow, it ain't ƒireƒly's"

we've been having fun with the symbols i ©. Well, I think it's patently® obvious (clear, luminescent) that the slogan, while catchy, is plain reality? does your colon belong to a ƒireƒly?? huh? noooooooo! or some other bioluminescent species (certain fish, again, are phosphorescent or have such parts)? again, noooo! So how the HECK would you ever expect your colon to glow? of course no rum's going to make it glow! not even this cleverly marketed brand that the corner store carries. sheeesh!

What do you do if, having discovered the relative "safety" of your alternate brand of alcotoxin, you find your self easin' on down to the corner store ever more frequently, and in between trips, easin' on down to t' lil' boy's room, the rum's molasses component not having undergone full distillation and having eased that reg'lr-like colon o' yers right into deregulation? (a go go go... but no glow!)

*<<Newsflash>>* ~PA~ (press associates) "This just in, man discovers large floating luminescent object at local waste disposal plant...film at eleven!"...So apparenlty you haven't yet discovered that it has a time delayed effect, and you have just been going to "The little Boys Room" just a bit too quick for the luminescence to have taken it's glowing hold **Hic** my turn!

Promise yourself that never again will you let a Polish Aviator of your acquaintaince talk you into having a second ƒlying zoobie (made with two parts Parsons™ Sparkling Aged Vodka, three parts ƒireƒly's® "Gastroluminescent" Pure Molasses Rum, two parts unpasteurized goat's milk, and an ice cube.What do you do if you find yourself flying to Europe without having boarded a plane, and in your pocket you find a plasticized cross cultural instruction card which says, among other things, "In France you will encounter an odd, vaguely toilet- looking thing in many bathrooms. It is not a toilet. Do not use it as a toilet. No one from North America has ever been able to determine exactly what these things are, but many have discovered that they are not toilets."?

You grab the Hare, by the hair, and take him next door to the"Cafe du Le Poisson Cuit, Tumeur, Vers le bas" and make him eat your fish's tumor, all the while enjoying a fine gallon of Zoobypieds original (the one and only) W(h)ine(r)® (and YA! they spell it that way!) from the shoe of an ajaxified cleaning ladies left foot, the one with the free JAM!

It is to avoid just such problems that I do not frequent fish & coffee chain restaurants.What do you do if you are repelling down the side of a giant sequoia tree on the coast of US western state, California, in the area known as Big Sur and, halfway down, come upon a hollow in the tree in which a slender, young woman is seated cross legged, strumming a guitar singing "It's a long way to Tipparery"?

("Geeze" and I thought that was you, zoob, sitting there in that tree, in Big sur when I was there, back in '99)...explain to her that, with mass transit, air travel, and plate tectonics, that is no longer true.

I would imagine in that circumstance there would be better things to do than to sit and ponder new recipes that could be created with ƒireƒly's "Gastroluminescent" Pure Molasses Rum, so I would probably get my chainsaw out of the trunk of the car and carve the image of former US presidents Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover and any others whose first and last name began wih the same letters I could think of, into the fallen tree, put up signs saying "This way to Sequoia Rushmore", and charge a viewing fee to any tourists who happened by.

What do you do if those big sir's you carved in sequoia, up in Big Sur come after you saying you cut them while shaving?

Zoooooooooby! Who else? He just made a fortune ($3.52 was it?)! ... if he hasn't spent it on laundry yet.

It's funny you should ask that quetion, because once, when I was recovering from a jellyfish sting I sought to sue the manufacturers of jellyfish, here in the US, but it turned out that what they, in fact, produced was fish jelly not jellyfish, but I was confused due to it sometimes being referred to as jellied fish, rather than fish jelly. At any rate. Johnnie Cochrane took the case, but try as he might he couldn't create a good, catchy rhyme to apply to the situation ("If the jelly don't fish, you must return the dish!" didn't make a whole lot of sense to anyone.) so I lost, and now I'm hunting for the real manufacturers of jelly fish, which, it turns out, are other jelly fish. (Yes, jelly fish make more jelly fish.) I'm currently surfing the web searching for their attourneys.

Don't make any hasty decisions based on feelings. It could be you're actually only fœling, or fæling, or føøling, or féåling.What do you do if you receive a PM from a total stranger asking for help on the following problem:

Zooby,

I see from the quetion and answer thread that you are very smart. Could you please explain to me why, if you're so smart, you don't believe that aliens from the planet Sphincter 32 (Uranus) are abducing my wife and children and me on a regular basis? I have proof. I woke up once with a bruise on my leg. How can you refute such evidence? Also my wife is now pregnant and I haven't had sex with her in two years. Our last two children were born bald and with large heads, and also not very human colored, and with not one human tooth in their mouths, proving they were fathered by things not meant to eat human food. The oldest is 7 and she did finally grow human teeth but now they are falling out every month or so and a new one grows in just like a shark or something.

Signed,

Simple, I would reply...

With all due respect, I'm firefly, not Zooby, f-i-r-e-f-l-y. different spelling, see? In any case, allow me to suggest you submit your case to the Skepticism and Debunking forum here at PF. Someone there might be able to help. How nice for your daughter... she will appreciate having brand new teeth every month when she is 70 - if she lives that long. Also, this will save you bundles on health care - you might just want to go with the flow. If this is really troublesome, perhaps you could try to contact your a... oh, i mean Uranus in order to rectify the situation. Use Kundalini. Oh, wait, no, don't try any strange "posturing" - that might have actually got you into this situation to begin with.

Signed,
firefly

Jump out of the car, quickly persuade the jellyfish to turn into "fishjelly", (thereby cleaning the motor for restart) restart your eingine and restart your trip to Your (ooooops) UrAnus and restart singing that ditty that you can't get out of your head!

What do you do if the ditty in your head is sooooooo stuck, you can no longer think of anything else, to the point that when you open your mouth, out come the lyrics, followed by your very sad imitation of the background vocalist, stress crackling in your, now strained, therefore 'falsetto', squeaky voice, hoarse from the strain, and causing you to expectorate gobs of blobs of sputum?

Brains are a lot like engines ... might I suggest fish-jelly or WD40: two squirts up each nostril should dissolve all stuckness.

Buy ear-protectors, mulch away till they Crunch no more, then remember to mow your lawn frequently enough that they cannot gain a slitherscuttle upon it...

It's a question of misplaced negatives. For your part... you have the heart... not to tell them.

What do you do if you have heart, but realize you haven't the right perspective to break a silence?

Edit: fixed formatting. Ack!

After the dog has somewhat deflated outside, let him back in and cuddle up with the dog. just to be clear, i would draw the line at physical proximity with the dog in such a way as to reduce combined surface area and therefore minimize heat loss... applications: space heater - toe blanket - filler in of that niche in your back that chills up? don't really know about the wife thing... i don't have one of those either. (heh! funny thought, me with a wife!)

What do you do if you suddenly find that all your vocal emissions sound like a dog-bark, everyone else sounds like pigs grunting, and they seem to understand each other... but not you?
