I could dream UP some more uses for UP, but I won’t. I need to finish UP this post before I bore everybody to death. I could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP for now. My time is UP. It is way past time for me to shut UP!
It's UP to you what you do with this post. If you can think of other ways to use UP, bring it UPin a comment. I’ll try to UP the ante on the next go ‘round.
