Brevity by Dan Thompson for August 15, 2013

I don’t trust those lighters, …They look like Scriptos….I’m a Bic man, myself….If you are ever lost in the wilderness overnight, a lighter is you best friend….They say that the light and warmth from a fire keeps away the insanity of being lost and not knowing what is out there…The imagination can cause you to think and do stupid things…A warm fire centers you, and makes you less afraid…And all animals are afraid of fire….even bears…..Never set out without two Bic lighters…

They obviously met on Match.com….

The one in orange has been on a diet…. you can see that she’s a little lighter.

The couple on the left make a striking pair…. they really do…. but I wonder whether they really click…

I mean…. it’s more obvious with the other two….

But I think they’re all pretty bright…. good to see them enjoying some light conversation.

“Lord Almighty,I feel my temperature rising”

“A hunk of burning love.”

(She is) A match made in heaven.Hey, someone was going to say it eventually.

Susan doin’ mental cartwheels! Susan, you make me dizzy…..

How are some wooden matches like terrorists?….They’ll strike anywhere…….

The resemblance is striking.

“Come on baby light my fire.”

they just wanted a light lunch

My girlfriend’s name is Stella Light.

Will they try to flick their Bics.

Does anybody remember the old Batman alter ego “Matches” Malone?

Man, you guys are in rare form today. Keep up the good work!

jmcx4, I assume you and your girlfriend are familiar with the song Stella Blue by the Grateful Dead Here is Joan Osborn’s version…
