Possible
POSSIBLE, adj. Everything, to him who has patience-and money.
2008 Update: Not before the California legislature.
Ah now here we go! A word I can sink my teeth in. Possible: The sweet state of mind brought on by last week's results. Thanks Ohio...and all the other Americans who changed their glasses.

Is it possible to see you in a pair of pantaloons?

Possible: Yes We Can!!

Possible, anything?
Happy Birthday, Beagle!
Poobah, I drove around one such possum not long back.
Jim, that can't be!
Sauerkraut, you can probably substitute "Pennsylvania" for "California" and get the joke.
And the people they don't represent as well, Amoeba.
Cheers, Mutha.
TLP, "they" being right, for example, is impossible.
True, Quilly. How's it going with the t-shirts?
Icy, the secret must be to not wake up. I'm gonna try that one of these days.
Anonymous, I think there are only three S's.
Eureka, Al!
Actonbell, that's impossible. The most interesting days are when you show up.
Probably, Cooper, but not in the movies.
Absolutely, Terry. Good luck in the interview! (I'm guessing, how'd I do?)
Si se podemos, Jota De!
Thanks, Ariel and Actonbell. Hope I don't get fat this year.
Doug, so far we've sold a few beer steins to some sucker in California.
