even some of the routine comments make me laugh. I mean come on, where else do you read about someone or something that "held sway", or "failed to menace".

I thought these were the comment lines reguarding your performance around the chocolate fountain.

Trust me, I usually own any chocolate fountain, one of the greatest culinary creations.

we had a horse at River in 2006 named Two Step Partner and his comment read "ducked in over hedge, jumped in lake"

the next time they led him over to run, they had a life preserver over him... and he won!
