After watching the full Wagnerian Ring cycle, I felt the need to bathe. I’m kind of a heavy guy, so when I bathe, the water ring around the bathtub is right up there near the top edge. I like to measure out how much I think is the correct amount, then slowly climb in and see if the surface hits its mark. You see there? I guess I really do like rings! Ring of gold, and ring of tub! Plus there’s the “ring” that forms deep in my ears when I stare at the picture of my mother next to the tub. IN out IN out. That’s what that ring is for!

05/25/2004 Ferucio P. Chhretan: This is a riddle, right? Damn. Time, I need more time!
05/25/2004 Will Disney (3): I like this one, but I don't *like* like it.
05/25/2004 Phony Millions: Author, I will give you more stars if you tell me that you really did see the whole ring cycle these last few weeks with Levine conducting at the Met.
05/25/2004 TheBuyer: I'm too stupid to get this right off the bat, or it makes no sense, I'll have to vote on it later in the day...did I *say* that or *think* that?
05/25/2004 Pix (2): Ewww... All this made me think about was the body mass to water ratio...
05/25/2004 TheBuyer (2): Author: My honour dictates I vote this lower than the previous author short, but please understand it does not reflect on you as a person. If someone was to offset this rating with an inflated rating and cite this comment as a rational, I would understand perfectly.
05/25/2004 Mr. Pony: This is totally dumb, but I can't figure out if it's the kind of totally dumb that I like.
05/25/2004 Ewan Snow (4): This is a mercy vote, but for some reason I kept thinking about this short throughout the day. So what the hell, 4 stars! Please don't anybody bothering to tell me this isn't worth four. My mind is made up and that's that.
05/25/2004 John Slocum: You hypocrite, you hippolyte.
05/25/2004 TheBuyer: Slocum: Who was that for?
05/25/2004 scoop (4): I like this one, too. I thought the last line seemed like an awkward nod to sex/fucking/intercourse in the Great Acme Tradition which felt a little forced. But the second to last line got a laugh out of me and a yucky feeling in my tummy as well.
05/26/2004 Benny Maniacs: As long as my avg. breaks three stars.
