Here are the winners of this year's Washington Post's Mensa
Invitational which once again asked readers to take any word from the
dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and
supply a new definition:
1. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders
the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period of time.

until you realize it was your money to start with.
4. Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.
5. Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that
stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer unfortunately

these really bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and
it's like, a serious bummer.
12. Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the
day consuming only things that are good for you.

Yo you got spam blogger! Why don't they want you to pay to enlarge your man bits?
I second Beelzebug Royce. Although I wasn't snickering last night when I had a Beelzebug buzzing around. Little bugger got me on the ankle before the night was over. Damn hot flashes anyway, have to expose my feet to cool off.
