#15  Thanh you both for reminding me that I hadn't so much as ruffled the pages since I was a kid. Chronologically, I mean. Off to see if he's still cuckoo.

Once wrote an original word,
Then it painted itself
And shat out half a shelf,
That magnificent bustard! ["ABSURD!"]

#10  You know, maybe I'm just being paranoid, but... Could the FBI have given some genuine explosives to set someone up, and they set it off by accident? Because I could see the FBI trying to get a bomb plot going, but screwed it up.

This guy, Marty McFly,
his own room was a pigsty.
So he didn't know the worth...
of walls, chairs, sock drawers,
tubs, y'know home n' hearth.

One day that little runt
thought he'd go on a jaunt,
with this Kaczynsky type.
They left in a big explody fuss,
homes wrecked, scorched earth.

#4  I thought gas leak explosions were more of a horizontal blast. This one went up.

#1  Gas leak. Or meth lab. Or bomb factory.
