Me neither! We have so many excellent candidates this year in all the categories that I may have to draw names from a hat to decide on some!Lisa! said:That's difficult! I can't choose btw them.

I find Jack to be unexpressive and wooden. Course, his mother was a nice piece of ash, but this father was a son of a birch: used to bark at Jack to make like a tree and leaf. Jack pined to branch out and put down roots in a better place , so he packed his trunk, and went to his Aunt Maple. But as soon as he cedar, he feared he'd gone out on a limb. She was a sap, and knot his cup o' tree.hypnagogue said:But Jack Handy isn't a PF member.

I saw one like that on a fish theme once. It went on for two pages. I also used to know a guy who did it unconsciously: like, if you raised the subject of sailing, all that would occur to him were old saws and turns of speech with a maritime theme. He didn't even realize he was doing it.Danger said:
Oak-y Dokey. I bough to your wishes. I may have to conifer with a specialist, in order to prune it, and spruce it up first, so it will be more poplar.hypnagogue said:
