Rejected
Introductions to
Days of Our Lives.

BY ANDY FRIEDHOF

- - - -

"Like a robot dolphin through this flaming hoop, so are the days of our lives. Freaking sweet."

- - - -

"Like this well ... (Show picture of an ancient wishing well) ... this show is going very well, very much like the days of our lives."

- - - -

"Like jogging with sand in your underwear in a metaphysical triathlon from hell, so are the days of our lives."

- - - -

"See all this stuff on last year's calendar? Most of these were so the days of our lives. I should really throw this out."

- - - -

"I'm pretty sure these are the days of our lives. Or is it these? Wait, let me get my glasses."

- - - -

"Hey, who didn't wipe their feet and dragged sand into the house? Oh, it was the days of our lives."

- - - -

"Yeah, that pile of timber and rubbish over there. Yeah. Next to that, that's where I last saw the days of our lives, officer."

- - - -

"Like the battery power on my Casio watch, so are the days of our lives. You can't even buy these damn batteries anymore, either, so it's even more apt."
