the title certainly grabbed my attention and I knew it would be your iconic iconoclastic word play -- criss-cross'd my shoulder bone to my elbow while trying to say the BuddhaDharmaSangha -- ya' know the femer is often made into a horn and blown to scare away the hungry ghosts -- I think they like to dance the night away -- l7 to 11 is the way
 — AlchemiA

well then ghosts should learn to honk-to-munch so we
won't have to cripple someone or some cat to horn them
away and argue whether cats really have 9 lives or not
and if we humans really just have one life.

cats do humor us often, don't they?

cat humerus stuffed with herb...
that's great.
i'd suggest that 7 would breathe and 8 could grow, were 8 planted atop 9.
just a thought.
nice
 — chuckle_s

good idea, chuckle_s.

but how 'bout i let "anyway" breathe on its own?
there.

what do you think?
