“And for my second wish I want to play hopscotch with a panda.” (brian edwards)
“Billy’s joy was fleeting as he realized that he would never get his pet llama to do this.” (chad f)

[[new update]]
time to announce a winner! i just pulled my wife over to the computer (i’m at home, haven’t gone into work yet), and read the five finalists to her. she laughed out loud at the first two. and i have chosen — drum roll, please — “And for my second wish I want to play hopscotch with a panda.” (submitted by brian edwards).
thanks all for the great laughs!
brian — shoot me an email.
Hey, diddle, diddle, the cat and the fiddle?

You wanna piece of ME? Bounce on over here and say that!
“eat me when I’m fatter”
“Billy’s joy was fleeting as he realized that he would never get his pet llama to do this.”

“Sorry kid, my baaaaad”
Got Milk?
Oops I didn’t read all the posts. sorry aaron.
“And for my second wish I want to play hopscotch with a panda.”
looked like a cow to me…guess a cow wouldn’t fit on a trampoline.
How about “young kung-foo prodigy squares off against Master Miyagi demonstrating the ‘Goat Stance'”
“And to think, we actually believed the convention theme was inspired by Karla’s grandchildren!”
“Watch my poop bounce on the trampline! Bounce poopies, Bounce! Hey kid, you want to try to make your poop bounce too?”
“Dancing with the devil”? Or did the goat-like devil image go out with modernism? :)
“Sometimes it’s great to be a kid again”
It can’t be that great, the kid is going to jump and land in goat terds that are already on the trampline. Unless someone threw a bunch of blue berries on to the trampoline, I’m thinking “abandon ship!”
how come we got left behind?
“I’ve told you before, one kidd at a time on the trampoline.”

Hey Billy, am I covered on your family’s insurance?
This will make mother goose flip, forget the three billy goats gruff.

Did God know that he made you special?
After the sounding of the bell for Round 1, Billy’s self-confidence began to falter. Could he follow in his dad’s footsteps and become the world champion trampoline goat wrestler (featherweight class)?
Come on Billy! You can do it!
We’re not in Kansas anymore kid.
