Call JAKE at ###a##one-#### You can see my other posts by copy and pasting my phone number. Thanks for looking!

I went to high school with a girl named Destiny. I wonder if she’s got a cousin named Charisma? Because I can’t think who else would need to hold up Charisma’s tree. Unless that’s some sort of euphemism. In which case… ew.

Also – IT THANKS WENDIE FOR THE POST

    Speaking of girls with unfortunate names, Sparky has screawed up a famous line from James Thurber:

        You’ve just reminded me of one of my father’s old jokes about a larcenous bear and a Chinese lumber merchant, the punch line of which was “a boy-foot bear with teaks of Chan.”

    Spark threatens us with “screaws” and expects we would search for [its] other posts (postes)?

    Maybe the tree belongs to Charisma Carpenter. Haven’t seen her on tv much since Cordelia carked it, so perhaps she decided to pursue something appropriate to her surname and is growing trees for the timber industry.

    We have an introvert’s tree at the TacoHut. It’s a nice little tree, but we can’t put any of our flashier ornaments on it. Which is fine, since we own a lot of Star Trek and Star Wars ornaments.

    Yeah, no problem. I always try to look good now. Last time I didn’t look, I walked right into charisma’s tree. I broke a small round “ornament”.

    Wow! The corner is charismatic today. It’s compelling me to com… umm, compelling me hither.

    I’ve been looking for a fake Christmas tree with lights on Craigslist for awhile now…silly me, I haven’t been spelling it correctly. Hopefully, I will have better luck between now and December 1.
