I spotted it toe, but refrained from toeing the whistle out of decency.

Oh, I'm sure.

Denail is just a river in Egypt, whereas I'm quite a ways West of the Meditoerranean.

I'm sure that toemhow, Brad is toe blame

Wandering through this world of woe
But there's no sickness, no fear or danger
In that bright land
To which I go

It's human nature to seek a scapetoe - whether they're in denail, suffering from an excess of jam, or just plain obsessive-comtoesive.

Toe-morrow, and toe-morrow, and toe-morrow,
Claws in this petty pace from day toe day,
Toe the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yestoedays have lighted foots
The way to digit death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow; a poor pedal,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Toed by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

{Comic book excerpt}
{Clong enters a nearby shoe store, and exits moments later as his superpowered alterego ... Toeman !}

TOEMAN: Stop right there, Dr. Tinea. Your nefarious plan toe sabtoebage the production plants of various makers of athletes foot spray, and intoeduce a genetically engineered Ebola based sub-strain of Foot Fungus instead, is doo000oomed toe failure !

{insert gratoetous double biceps pose here}

DR. TINEA: You'll never take me alive, Toeman. My escape routoe is already well plantar'd.

TOEMAN: There's no escaping the big foot of the law, Tinea. Give it up, or face the full unfettoered might of my Kryptoenian big toe.

{switches to a hands-on-hips abdominal & quadricep flex}

DR. TINEA: no ... no ... No ... NO ... it's can't end like this ... not when I'm so close toe inflicting ultoemite pantoemonium ! :cry:

{Toeman attacks}

DR. TINEA: AieeeeeEEEEE !!!

Image

TOEMAN: Let this be a lesson toe eviltoers everwhere. Break the law, and Toeman will stomp on you, prontoe. 8)

BYSTANDER: Can I have your autoegraph, Toeman ? :mrgreen:

TOEMAN: Why certoenly ...

{places toe-print on the bystander's well-worn copy of Toeman issue #27}

TOEMAN: Up up and toeway !!! {bounds off, intoe the clouds overhead}
Sales figures for the above comic book have been toeriffic, BTW.

So, what do people think ... should Toeman have a sidekick, or would that be pushing the running joke a little toe far ?

Hmmm ... Little Toe ... serendipitoey perhaps ?
