"Deer's Norway eyed cove Oslo aesthet"
"Laddle rat rotten hut"
"farm bully"
"comb in ground"
"okay toes"
"marry hatter laddle limb"

Ruminations.com is a free, interactive community of people writing what they're thinking. Simply put, it's Digg meets Twitter meets Seinfeld.
A "rumination" is a short, funny, original observation or anecdote.
"Who in the hell gives you the authority to judge my password strength? I do what I want, dammit "
"Nothing makes me feel more awkward then when I miss a high five. "
"Once my kids found out they were called 'throw pillows' I had to remove all of the expensive objects from my living room"
"The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will never be ending a work email with the phrase "Regards" again."
