LOL funny, Arwen...a sort of cross between Spaff's "Band-Aid" and your own "Workin' To Pay Back The Zoo"......very f(el)ine! 555

Pirhana stole your haaaaaaaand-Claude Prez
As for this, great job! 555!

No piranhas in Africa, but otherwise purrr-fect job. 555.

Getting attacked by piranhas put you "In the Mood"........ so that's what I've been doing wrong! Off to Africa, and don't forget to pack your fives!!!!

The lion bit the hand that feeds you? So sorry, hope your Christmas is happier. Let's give you a hand!!! 555

inspired lunacy...i loved the jolly ol' way you mentioned "breaking your spine-o"

You should take pride in this parody.

A tour de farce here Arwen. Very funny work. Are you more upset about losing the hand or the ring? ;) Maybe a follow-up with "The Lion Dies Tonight" to the old Tokens' song. 555

I'll bite that! 5's

What, nobody said, "Let's all give the lady a hand for this one"? Guess I will...applause for a fantastic parody...really clever, really funny, wonderful rhyming...here's a handful of "fives"...guess you'll have to make a one-handed catch, now, huh? ~ ~ ~

Paul, Arwen IS a "one-handed catch"! Of course, now, I have to lead the brave men of the Arwen Corps out to fight that lion and get that hand back, and then use my Jedi healing powers to reattach it. That ring didn't come cheap, you know... as any Tolkeinian can tell you! (Not that I am one... that's one area where She Who Must Be Obeyed and I differ.)

Gotta' hand it to ya'...ya' didn't lose your hand at parody writing

I liked this.

I ain't lion when I say I'm handing you some fives

yes, he is a bastard, Arwen - no doubting that at all - and an unfeeling bastard at that, although not as unfeeling as you will be from now on (50% more unfeeling to be precise) - Arwenesque humour here - 555

Splendid, Arwen, though better you lose a hand than me....my sex life would be cut in half :-). Super Arwenian 5's

Kristof...thanks a bunch! Those are a couple of top notch parodies to be compared to...especially the one about the Zoo...; ) Thanks!

Jack...=) Thanks! A lot of times I try to do things that will make others think of Claude...glad it worked this time...=) Thanks!

Susanna...I was just WAITING for someone to catch me on a technicality like that. Dammit...just goes to show that doing absolutely no research really doesn't pay off in the end...; ) Thanks!

Matthias...=) Hee hee...good luck with that, Mister. I have all the confidence in the world that it'll work out for you.

Agrimorfee...Ha! I honestly didn't see that one coming...very nice! And thanks!

Alvin...thanks very much. I kind of liked that line, too...=)

John...Nice...and thanks!

Red...definitely the ring...no contest. ; ) Thanks!

Carol...please don't...I've had enough biting for one day...; ) Thanks!

Paul...well, Agri was close...but I still like it the second time around. Thanks a ton!

Michael...um...I'm going to take that first line as a simple compliment and not put too much thought into it...; ) So thanks. And yes, you and your (my?) troops get in there and beat the crap out of that lion...and then beat my imaginary wedding ring out of him, too! I'll cheer you on from the sidelines...=)

AFW...hehehehe...thanks!

Ann...I'm glad! Thanks!

PMS...it's a good thing...because I hate it when people lie. Almost as much as I hate getting my hand bitten off...; ) Thanks!

Stuart...I thought for sure you were going to call me on my typo in the last line...(...lion AT my hand?!?!?!)...I don't know why...I just thought if anyone called me out, it would be you. So thanks for your clever response...and for not calling me out...but in not calling me out, you've just caused me to call myself out. Dammit. ; ) Thanks!

Dee...naughty! Thanks!

I know what that lion was thinking: "jerky for dinner, and ladyfingers for dessert"! 555

Rex...=) Thanks a bunch!

(Decathlon - Event 9) Ouch! Musta been hard writing a parody with only one hand, eh, Arwen? Good job!

(DEC9) See above....here, kitty! ;-)

(DEC) Must've been a lioness, since THEY do all the hunting ... the males are FAR too lazy! 555

go round the back and wait for the ring to pass ! nice work as usual 555

(decath9) a lion AT my hand?!?!?! What the?....j/k....in fact I liked the extra rhyming in that last couplet (ie. diamond/lion)...and see above

50 Band aids? YOU GO GIRL! Who cares if you're missing a hand! ; )

BPC...you know...art is nothing if it doesn't produce pain. Or something like that. I don't know. Thanks, though...; )

KR...thanks again!

Johnny...amen to that one, mister! Thanks!

tomario...nope...I just made Bobby...(that was his name, wasn't it?)...buy me a new one. =)

Stuart...shut up. But thanks...=)

Ash...you know, I think I only needed one band aid...but the more you put on, the more attention you get...=) Thanks!

What a bastard that lion is, lol 5s
