2. Just long enough to teach them a lesson, if necessary.
I've been nodding off. How many times have people discussed the whole scientology thing, I wonder? Am I the only one sick of that whole thing?

9. I guess I tend to beat that poor horse...
by posting this certain joke from time to time...

I've decided to retire it tonight after getting annoyed with it myself.

18. I prefer the phrase "pet an irritated cat"....
I've always been a tad ruffled by the idea of beating a dead horse. The visual makes me a little sad inside.

36. I'd rather have no carpets.
I'd love it if the entire house was hardwood floors. I could put area rugs where necessary.

however you wouldn't want to see what is left after I slowly but effectively remove every strip of flesh from the bones before I start to grind and rend it into glue ...

And they all look like hell from all those beatings.
