So the server crashed again, huh? I'll have to boys back in the lab check out the fragments and maybe we'll have a firmware upgrade by Friday.bobo
"Forgive my exuberance. When I flashdance, I just can't help it."pony
Mom, I don't think letting M. Magritte stay here is a good idea. A window just materialized over Dolly's head, there's a lump of moss growing on my chest and, if you'll notice, one of the things you're cleaning up is an ear.phil

*Ahem* Sorry to bother you, ma'am, but the reconstruction of Goya's 3 May 1808 is beginning in the day room. Dolly is playing the Spanish army, as you recommended.phil

By age 6, Jeffy's terror tactics and megalomania had reached new heights. One of his favorite methods was to go over the panels for the next week, and smash any that were "unfavorable" to him. Too frightened to speak out, Mom just calmly picked up the pieces. -- from "Circle Jerk -- The shocking truth about Jeffy Keane" by Perry Julius Keane.The Dog

"It was a painfully routine occurence. Because I couldn't speak to defend myself Jeffy blamed the incident on me while Billy held my arms as Dolly pummled me senseless."--Still Incontinent After All These Years, Ptolemy Johannes Keane Coyote
"I absolutely, positively did NOT break the vase, and I swear to devote all my time to finding the real culprit."Magus
Not Me broke the dishes. Not Me stole my valium. Not Me sodomized the dog, thought Thel calmly. I suppose these little fucks won't mind, then, if Not Me cuts them all down with an AK-47.agm (based on Agent Todd caption in 267)
Mom, you'd better come quick. Dolly just played twelve straight hours of Wing Commander III, and now she's offering PJ a "warrior's death."Heart of The Werehamster
Her subtler cries for help having been ignored for so long, Thel began carefully depositing her broken crack vials in selected areas of the house. And still, Jeffy wanted to talk about "Dolly gut-punchin' PJ" rather than her problems.Galahad
"Fuller Brushes as a product placement? Is that why the door-to-door salesman was so happy?"Disco Fever. Y'know.
We 'cided. P.J. did it. Lucky for him he's the only one young enough not to get brush beatings, huh?Vice Pope Doug

I was a creative child, and of course, my mother never suspected that my endearing hugs against her lucious, braless bosom were sexually motivated until a much later age". -- from "Impeachment Can Be Keane", autobiography of William Jefferson Keane, 60th President of the United States.Vice Pope Doug

"Uh, Mom? Look, we know it's been hard what with Dad leaving you for that towel boy and your Prozac running out and all, but don't you think something other than a wire brush and a snow shovel would be better for cleaning this up?" Podbeing
In this panel, Jeffy takes full advantage of the "primary speaking roll" clause in his contract to finger his siblings.Podbeing
Along with his plate, Jeffy's ego was shattered that day. For years afterward, he'd walk around mumbling, "Couldn't glue, plate....couldn't glue, plate...."phil
