That's probably the worst case of dandruff I've ever seen in my life. Johnathan

I've also had chocolate-covered frozen bananas - delicious! They come on a stick, like a Popsicle. Johnathan

Invisibility sphere bypasses final encounter. Johnathan

I'm reading something a bit odd for me: an office romance comedy novel called Inter-Office Male. Not something I'd normally be drawn to, but I found the fact it was written by an author named John Richards to be completely irresistible, if only because I'm pretty sure I didn't black out in 2002...

Or "Everything You Know is Wrong" by "Weird" Al Yankovic. Johnathan
