Blog Guy, what do you think would be the very, VERY coolest thing that could EVER happen in the whole world? You know, like if you had only one wish.
Peace on earth, good will toward men, I suppose.
Okay, well then, the SECOND coolest thing?
An end to poverty and ignorance everywhere.
Let’s try again, Blog Guy. The THIRD coolest.
All animals would be treated with the love and respect they so deserve.
Sigh. Then let’s say you get a FOURTH wish, but that’s it. That’s the last one.
That’s very easy. Some big poet would be getting a major literary prize from the King of Spain, see, and his pants would fall down.
This is your big day, Blog Guy! We’re granting only Wish Number Fours! It’s a real shame you didn’t number them differently.

Awwww I feel sorry for the poor guy! How mortifying!
E.
I remember seeing a pair of smarty pants in college… that was when low waists were a fashion fad… unfortunately for them it was really low…
But I agree E… it is quite embarrasing… esp if you are clicked!!
It is said ignorance is bliss. Yet you, Mr. B., want to rid the world of ignorance. I think that is downright greedy of you to want take away the ability for people to achieve bliss!
You are such a think-for-yourselfer!
Any medidonuts left?
Is that his junk… are maxicans really that wild? :-O
@fwd079 … Interesting theory. Maybe that’s what he won the prize for?
A poet, when getting a prize,
Lost trousers before the king’s eyes.
It caused quite a row,
When the fellow dropped trou,
Suspenders would surely be wise.
I’m Jose the peg, with my extra leg……
it helps lose a few kilos – and have an asss.
When I rule the word ignorance will be encougaged.
Probably mandatory…
But r’s will be optional.
