# Well
Considering the challenge is "The Funny Side Of War", and there's been posts about the occupation of Gaza (itself engendering mass slaughter as we're seeing on the news at the moment), and nuclear bombs (the original Weapon of Mass Destruction), which have gone down well, this is hardly out of keeping.

And I for one would like dancing skellingtons at my grave if I go.

# I'd love to be a dancing skellington
when I die. Then I could cheer everyone up with my jive :)

# I'll see what I can manage
(vis a vis the dancing skellingtons, not putting you into the cold cold ground)

also - there have been some amusing things in the challenge, but some of it has been fairly poor and basic

# I've played it so many times now I night as well be watching a favourite movie
There was only one point I didn't know exactly what to do, and even then I knew just had forgotten where the item was.

My brother was trying to catch me out on sword fighting insults last night but I knew them all. He was torn between admiration and feeling the need to put his baby sister out of her geeky misery ;)

# I've got them all... somewhere.
Although I never could get 'into' the last one :(

I must dust them off and get them running again. Serve up a bit of "Vichyssoice avec rat hairs"

I guessed it might turn into "ho-LOL-locaust" or something... I fear it really is going to happen, isnt it?

# that's what I mean... I don't think those sorts of pictures are funny,
I was hoping this compo wouldn't end up like that. I'll just adblock any I dont like, and refrain from complaining (even though I sort of am here :S)

I think it's a line that its always good to examine.
