Wow. Twinkie abuse is a terrible crime. I bet she batters brownies as well. - purpleartichokes, 2007-07-23: 13:19:00

not only that but she beats eggs and whips cream - a real domincaketrix - Jabberwocky, 2007-07-23: 13:24:00

Don't forget that she's dancing in the kitchen while all of this is going on, since the first five letters of her sickness spell "Disco". - Kyoti, 2007-07-23: 13:28:00

okay okay - if purple can talk about chopping nuts, how about balling melons - Jabberwocky, 2007-07-23: 13:38:00

Oops... Sorry for the delay getting the definition up this morning. I was so fixated measuring my morsels that I ate my words. ~ James

KristinA - 2007-07-23: 12:54:00
Interesting. There sure are a lot of "Susan/Suzy/Sue" appearing with today's definition....

Verbotomy Verbotomy - 2007-07-23: 13:42:00
Maybe Suzy has an eating reorder ~ James

purpleartichokes - 2007-07-23: 14:16:00
Now listen people what I'm telling you, A-keep away from-a Runaround Sue...

purpleartichokes - 2007-07-23: 14:17:00

Osomatic - 2007-07-23: 15:52:00
Wake up, little susie! The definition is late! (Actually for me it's awesome, because normally these are posted in what is the middle of the night for me.)

Clayton - 2007-07-23: 17:51:00
Funny, I'm currently eating at Suzy Q's in downtown Denver. I'll be rejoining you in October, if anybody misses me. In the meantime, be creative! I stole that line.

Kyoti - 2007-07-23: 20:16:00
Although none feature the eating habits of a boy named Sue. How do you do?

Jabberwocky - 2007-07-24: 14:09:00
Hey Clayton - if you check in again, we do miss you. Have a great summer!
