      Hey, while you're at Wal-Mart, see if the sporting goods area has an extra muse for me somewhere on a shelf. Mine has been missing for months. I'm convinced it's somewhere in Hawaii with islekine having a luau, but if so she's being very hush, hush about it. Oh, well...in the meantime I’d take one from Wal-Mart.

      Good luck to ya, boomer. I’m thinking we should all break every rule Bear invented...

      Islekine says vog in Hawaii - so if your muse WAS there, you probably wouldn't be able to see her....LOL....

    Make the rules, break the rules,
    sometimes I even FAKE the rules,
    I don't think I can take more rules...
    I'm haunted by linguistic ghouls!

      I'm afraid though I have to deduct from your score - you used the filler words 3 times in a 25 word space; plus you repeated the word "rules" 4 times!!! Other than that, this has a nice flow, great impact.....I'd score it about a 98.7
