Robbers

The robbers decided when Yoda levitates high above the insinuation.

By SP, AG, JS, KB, RS, NS, SM, PB, AI, ME

Interpretation #1:
From beginning to innuendo, it’s over my head.

Interpretation #2:
“Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”

Interpretation #3:
Why, man, they did make love to this employment!
They are not near my conscience; their defeat
Does by their own insinuation grow.
'Tis dangerous when the baser nature comes
Between the pass and fell incensed points
Of mighty opposites. - William Shakespeare (Hamlet, Act V, Scene II)

Me a Blueberry

Very cheesy monkey teeth decay; me a blueberry, and I sprayed uncle Roger.

Time

Managed time works well that is occupied.

by SM, SP, PB, AG, RS, AI, ME.

Interpretation 1:
The idea that time itself can be "managed" makes it clear that that the author has ultimate control over the relationship between the past, present, and future; and how they work together. It seems that this being - able to "manage" an abstract concept - has little concern over the contents of time, as long it is occupied in some way.

Interpretation 2:
The well is employed as multiple-occupancy accommodation thanks to time-share management.

Ultrasonic Man

Ultrasonic man evaporates rapidly changing lifestyle issues with me.

by SP, ME, RS, AG, JS, AI, SP, NS, PB

Wikipedia Article on Exquisite Corpse

Interpretation 1:
Ultrasonic man is obviously a superhero. The author of the statement evidently has lifestyle issues that are changing rapidly. The author seems to be currently engaged in some kind of interaction with Ultrasonic Man where he is "evaporating" these issues.

Interpretation 2:
With alternate punctuation:

Ultrasonic man evaporates rapidly, changing lifestyle issues with me.

By placing a comma after "rapidly", we have a subtle but important variation on the role of our ultrahero, i.e. he evaporates himself, thus rapidly changing my lifestyle issues by the removal of one in particular, namely, Ultrasonic man himself.

He is the problem, and he is the solution! Hooray for Ultrasonic man!
