NEVER JET HOT

I'm kind of torn on this new "Creamsicle" design on the website here... It looks nice and somewhat tasty, but does it psychologically prepare you to purchase novelty items today? Or are you more inclined to tiptoe into the kitchen and eat a big bowl of orange sherbet with a wooden spoon? I would do that right now, but the stupid dog would wake up, click around in the kitchen to alert the whole house. And another thing... Why is Sherbet usually pronounced "SherBERT"? Am I saying it wrong?

I'm a big fan of idioms; in fact, I think they are the cat's meow. I acquired another from an article I was reading; "set the cat among the pigeons", which means to anger or annoy a group of people. I'm sure it will come in handy!

Seems I only get "page one" google results for terms I can't use. Because of the random nature of this "blog", we wound up #4 for the Washington state city of "Hoquim" (Yeah I spelled it wrong.) Maybe I should have discussed "Seqium"? That's spelled wrong too, (I think) ... Poor spelling seems to be the key to success! Another time I was griping about people talking at the library, as of this morning this website is #1 for the search term "shushtime" - Gunna have to add that to my fauxcabulary.

Here's a puzzler from the Snohomish County Freecycle list... ... There's no "C" in "Melissa and Doug"

I was just reading that a couple in China has applied to name their baby "@". (In Chinese the english "at" sounds like "love him", I am told.) People used to say that "Coke" translates to "Bite the wax tadpole", which is making me hungry. I hope this mom in China doesn't decide to make this a theme, with the punctuation, and naming the dog asterick, etc. She'll be calling out the back door, @!! #!! &y! (andy) $! Get in here right now! Get * out of the driveway! They will know they are in trouble when she calls them all at once with the middle names too- @)#!&y^$$ (calling them) @)#!&y^$$ (swearing) What's in a name? # will go on to work for the telephone company. Expect big things from $. That is all I got.

My sister made a comment about how she admired her husband for not swearing when household plumbing projects go bad. This puzzles me, I thought that's what swear words were created for! Actually for me it was mostly "Yuk!" when I had to clean out the drain pipe, also had a few choice words for the guy at Home Depot while driving home, but Petey D. Dog had no comment. The guy at my night job who swears the most is a deacon at his church. He pretty much sticks to the four-letter words though. I think I read somewhere that back in the day, a lot of guys in radio were prolific cussers when not on the air. I think it has something to do with liking the sound of your own voice. Is that so wrong?

I am slowly but surely losing it. The latest mental faculty that seems to be deteriorating is the ability to quickly assess the context of what I am reading. For instance, my local paper had this headline; Man wanted for peeping into dressing rooms ...and my first thought was, I wonder how much it pays?
