Created by: metrohumanx
Pronunciation: DUHH-PLIH-KATE
Sentence: Rosco stepped out of the minimum security correctional facility into the pounding sun.Sitting at the bus stop with his cardboard suitcase, he now had to admit that he might just "suck at life"...After three failed marriages and encounters with every known STD, he began to consider that his past dating choices may not have been the best.Foxy english professors were his weakness,but he also harbored a soft spot for lady charter boat captains,tattooed carny babes, radical Irish lassies, Goth chicks and women in any stage of recovery.But his moment of enlightenment passed like a partial eclipse,and his loneliness overtook him yet again. He would rent a room,hold up a gas station and look up his old flame Babs....Yes, that's the ticket! He was sure she'd take him back, and together they could DUHHPLICATE all the great times they had before he got cirrohsis and she fell off the Harley.Yes! Yes! Rosco would DUHHPLICATE his old life-only this time he wouldn't get caught. A cloud of dust enveloped the inter-city bus as it stopped in front of him,and then he saw her stumble off: the most radiant creature ever to corner the nose ring market....
