She's so ugly that when
her mama squeezed her out, she was about to flush her down the toilet when her dad stopped her, yelling "Wait, it's got eyes!"

What is that, a "Warhammer" word?
Or, a "Star Trek" one?

No, actually, I've thought it over...
and you should stick with "muse".
As far as my thoughts on your latest post, I addressed that issue somewhere down below (in a comment to Talion).

MPO Breathing a sigh of relief...
LOL...good. Because at first I was scared that you didn't care for my latest story.
As far as not being suited to be my muse...I"m sure you inspire a lot of people whether you realize it or not. As for me...well, perhaps "Muse" was a bit strong, but I do look forward to your daily charming wit.

Oh no, Gulliver ...
I was merely referring to being your "muse" (in general, not specific terms).
I usually answer my comments first ... before "heading out" to the rest of Blog It.

I just got back from lunch, and noticed you commented that "it didn't necessarly suit you..." and I was a little confused what you are talking about. Do you mean my "mamma" jokes that I used in my story this morning? oh-oh...you didn't like it?
*sighs.

Thank you so much for the elaboration, TAPS...
I can not (consciously) remember ever hearing a "Bob joke" before. The example you chose was very amusing, though.

Well, as I said, I don't really tell them much but.............. There seems to be a certain "Bobness" to men called Bob that people don't often notice if they are not around one a lot. One of my sons is named after his father (Robert who goes by Bob) and he insists on going by his middle name. Here is one that is kind of the epitome of "Bobness".
What do you call a man with no arms and no legs in a swimming pool? Bob. A Bob never gives up--not even when everyone else wishes to goodness that he would. I hope that I am not offending any Bobbloggers.

I suppose so, Talion...
BTW, FYI: I have read both your's and Gulliver's most recent posts, and I hope to leave comments soon. However, I just got home and my brain is still "mush" (as evidenced by the lack of coherence in my responses below) ... thus, I'm sticking to the "simpler stuff", until I have consumed the suitable quantity of caffeine necessary to produce (at least) a
quasi-valid point or
two.

Not white girls, Talion ...
we focus on less overt forms of verbal abuse. Such as using "underhanded insults" and "starting rumors".
At least, that has been my experience.

That is a good one, Talion ...
there are just so many "classics", it's almost impossible to narrow it down to only a few "favorites".

Possibly, Dr.
Most of my "humor" (such as it is) is built on firing off catty mean-spirited remarks at a rapid rate, thus I've always enjoyed "the dozens" style. Even if, as a white girl in a very "un-ethnically diverse" neighborhood, there's not all that much opportunity to practice it.

I truly wish a person could take their excess clicks ...
and spread them out among "needy" bloggers. Especially around the holidays. 
If only the Blog It team would "open their hearts enough" to make that a reality.

Funny.. I Listen to Mama Jokes.. I Do Not Participate..
I guess I would be considered slow in this area, for I cannot think fast enough to come back quickly with a clever response!! I tried it once and it was like Eddie Murphy joking to the alter ego! It seems when I do respond, though a little slower as I gather my thoughts, the other person gets insulted and wants to attack me!! So to keep safe, healthy, and in a good place, I watch them on TV, will read them, yet no, no, not again.... Good post!!
Do you think it is because they only like their form of humor??

Thank you, Ann...
I feel guilty even accepting any clicks at this point.
Of course, on the other hand, I'm at a severe disadvantage due to posting only once a day (in only one blog) while never mentioning blogs, blogging or other bloggers in my posts ... so, I guess it more than evens out.

mpo,
That's a very good thought on the conversational flow of writing. I have always tried to do that myself. Even in more formal writing, memos, business letters, documentation, etc., there has to be a conversational flow for the writing to be clear and easily understood. I have known dozens of people who thought they were good writers when they were simply pompous jerks who thought that a bloated vocabulary was ''good writing.''
I'm sure you're right about the clicks in the same blog. I just couldn't resist the ''trick for a click'' wordplay. I have a nasty mind.

I get ticked off by any words that slow down the natural conversational flow of my writing.
Because I try desperately to "sound" (in written form) exactly as I talk ... which is why I leave in the "like"s and "you know"s and "whatever"s, etc.
P.S. I don't think that counts as a second click, since it occurred within the same blog.

mpo,
I do get rambling and incoherent at times, don't I? I think that means ''go to bed, fool.'' Yes, that was the warning label thing I was talking about. Did I just get a trick for a click?
I remember commenting there, but if I read it right now I probably wouldn't be able to figure out what I was saying.
Do you ever get ticked off about read and read being different tenses of the same verb that are only distinguishable through phonetic pronounciation? That has irritated me for years. I think I'll sleep on that tonight.

MPO,
I was going to say something here, but then I thought about it. Now I can't think of anything. Who started ugly mama jokes? Was it Bo Diddly? I think he said something about ugly sticks. Or was that someone else quoting him? Or was he a fictional character in somebody else's song?
Well, I was here, but I think everything was already said, or I got off the track, or something. You probably know why I was here anyway. If you do, could you please tell me sometime? I got tired, and I think my brain slipped out of gear, so don't think about it. Were you the one who said something about warning labels? Put one on this comment.
OK..... 
(I rewarded you with a read count and a comment, so be kind.)

I would say so, Thomas ...
People are so sensitive.
A while back, I wrote a piece which I thought was hilarious ... and my editor (at the time) said he thought so too, but he could never ever publish them.
When, I asked, "Why?" He responded (and I quote) "Because, I'd be run out of town on a rail ... and they'd burn you at the stake."
