When you get older, you know what's under the table, and who has the grapes.

I know what I did last summer.

*reaches under the table and holds his grapes*

So what does it mean, really? "Land of the Crabapple" or "Close to the Airport"?

(Bonus points for the first person who can identify the reference.)

posted by Doohickie 14 November | 14:03

Done, Doohickie. What's my prize?

I didn't get away with it, but I got off with a spanking.

nothing is as suspicious as frog's breath.

Or as fine as frog hair.

Loquacious is as loquacious does.

You have to grease it up first. That goes without saying.

I asked Schyler if I could hold his grapes, that's how.

posted by Specklet 14 November | 15:02

The logs got recycled, the papers backdated and no one ever asked anyway.

posted by bonehead 14 November | 15:16

I lied my ass off and blamed it all on my naive patsy, of course.

posted by muddgirl 14 November | 15:23

Put it out right in the open for everyone to see. People won't believe it's so obvious. Just make sure a stranger doesn't walk off with it (that is, if you want to keep it).

So, what is it a reference to, kenko? Additional hint: My hometown.

posted by Doohickie 14 November | 15:43

I hid in plain sight. And I was too innocent-looking to be suspected.

And my mortal enemy paid the price. Yes, he paid. Dearly.

*laughs diabolically*

posted by deadcowdan 14 November | 15:44

He paid with deer?

posted by Doohickie 14 November | 15:47

And, of course, I was smarter than all of them put together. That didn't hurt.

Yes, he paid with deer. The deer paid as well. With his life.

*munches contentedly on venison*

I ate a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos to cover the smell on my breath.

posted by kortez 14 November | 16:10

i didn't. but i would have gotten away if it, if hadn't have been for you pesky kids!

posted by keswick 14 November | 16:17

I pretended I was an aggrived buyer

It was easy - I got the rats past security inside a cello case.

posted by killdevil 14 November | 17:10

I wouldn't have, except that everything thought my being caught on TV was hilarious.

Get away with what?

*whistles*

posted by carter 14 November | 17:31

No one will ever know.

posted by puddinghead 14 November | 17:33

Kicked it under the sofa then blamed it on the dog.

posted by timefactor 14 November | 17:48

Maybe that explains why the dog has been walking funny lately.

posted by eatitlive 14 November | 17:54

Or as fine as frog hair.

Split 3 ways.

posted by chewatadistance 14 November | 18:05

I got away with it because the only person who confronted me about it was more content to believe my half-assed lies than deal with the truth.

posted by ArsncHeart 14 November | 18:20

No one noticed. All that anxiety for nothing.

posted by mischief 14 November | 19:24

people only see what they want to see.

I framed O.J. and he got off.

posted by mr_crash_davis 14 November | 22:35

I changed my story, and I ratfucked my associates.

posted by stilicho 14 November | 23:06

I didn't get away with it, which is why I haven't been around much lately.

*sits down carefully*
