  1. hahaha. I particularly enjoyed “sugar-free desserts.” GREAT list 🙂

  2. I LOVE IT! So many things there that I totally agree with.

  3. I thought it was just me! Although I do understand brewers yeast.

  4. that had an absolutely perfect flow… i loved it.. i don’t believe i have had the pleasure of visiting you before… this will not be the las time tho i assure you….

  5. Fun! I don’t understand most of those neither. That’s the beauty of it 😉

  6. What amusing and free-flowing verse! I especially like the way you have assumed that we will pronounce the ++s of C++ as plus, thus rhyming it!

  7. First, it has great rhyming. And flows beautifully!

    watered down

  8. That was GREAT!! “the point of slugs” === SO TRUE. I don’t get so many of these either.

  9. Come on…how many times have I explained binary numbers to you? And really, C++ is just meant to make my life (and therefore yours) miserable.

    Good gob though =D

  10. Nicely done, I came to visit as I regularly do, and then when I went to SS for the prompt, it all came together. I like your take, and how every word flows.
    Run for fun, is my exception.

  11. Clever! I liked so many of these… cubism, terrorism, fetishism, veganism … especially.

  12. this was so funny and so well put together! Kudos!

  13. Bravo! That is wonderful, masterful.

  14. Terrific list! The items cause me to scratch my head, as well.

  15. I like the whimsical take on the prompt. I especially like how you’ve set up some of the contrasts–“John Milton’s prose / Paris Hilton’s beaus” was especially rich.

  16. oh this was most enjoyable!!… excellent response to the prompt… thrz a few things. milton, absolutely… KingJames, it rocks… liver and onions i live, ..alone… running just for fun… it relaxes me… chuckling is a good thing!!
