Quote of the Day 6/30

“Even though he was an enemy of mine, I had to admit that what he had accomplished was a brilliant piece of strategy. First, he punched me, then he kicked me, then he punched me again.” --Jack Handey

Quote of the Day 6/29

“If I lived back in the wild west days, instead of carrying a six-gun in my holster, I’d carry a soldering iron. That way, if some smart-aleck cowboy said something like ‘Hey, look. He’s carrying a soldering iron!’ and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, ‘That’s right, it’s a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice.’ Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they had made fun of the soldering iron of justice, and I could probably hit them up for a free drink.” --Jack Handey

Quote of the Day 6/27

Well, with no more words of the day, let's go with a quote of the day, yes?

“Even though I was their captive, the Indians allowed me quite a bit of freedom. I could walk freely, make my own meals, and even hurl large rocks at their heads. It was only later that I discovered that they were not Indians at all but only dirty-clothes hampers.” --Jack Handey

WotD June 6

Weoddababyeatsaboy. proper noun. This word is used by new parents who want to tell their parents that they've just had a baby boy, but they don't want to use up their cell phone minutes. Poor, poor family...you should have gotten a better cell phone plan (cue T-Mobile music).

poupon. n. A type of French mustard, or something.

Example. I'll have a ham sandwich with extra poupon on.

Riddle...

Okay...Andrew gave us this riddle in the MRA and we can't solve it. Perhaps you at home could help.

Scenario: You're in a room with two doors and two other people. One will lead you safely out and one leads to a booby trap of death. One of the people always tells the truth and another one always tells a lie. You can only ask ONE question to ONE of the people...no asking the same question to both people! So, what do you ask?

Post your ideas and thoughts...I'm completely stumped.

WotD

persnippity. adj. A hick-like way of saying moody or temperamental. See also grouchy-pants or crabby.

Example: I reckon that-thar rainwater is gettin' folks all persnippity.

Evil Elevator!!

The scariest thing happened today.

Just fyi, the "staff" elevator is evil. I was going up to the 6th floor for a break so I hopped on the elevator (because I'm lazy like that), and the next thing I knew it dropped really fast and stopped. It was supposed to be going up. Um... yeah. Then it jerked around and dropped some more and I kept pushing door open to try to get off. Finally I got off at the 2nd floor and took the stairs up to the 6th floor. Maybe the elevator's just trying to help me get in shape. In any case, I'm sure not riding in that one again. And I thought I should warn y'all.

Have a good day! And don't get stuck in any elevators!

WotD (Jun 3)

loquacious. adj. Tending to talk much or freely; talkative; chattering; babbling; garrulous.

Music!

So you probably already noticed that I added a music player thing. If you don't like it, just pause it. If you have any requests for songs to be added to the playlist, post them in a comment and I'll try to add them. Enjoy!

WotD (Jun 2)

devoid. adj. Without, lacking.

Andrew Snow is a stinky-poo face because he was devoid of emotion when he hoped that Brad was stranded and starving in the desert.
