This morning's post leads to…

I think whatever that is that I can’t remember is why I hated our boat. Remember when Buck decided we needed a boat, and I hated every weekend I was forced to go along? I hated that boat, and it wasn’t just the expense. From the minute each trip to the lake would start until the drive home, I was a royal bitch. Snappy, unhappy and otherwise no joy to be around until I finally told them to go without me from then on.
We're gonna need a bigger… bandwagon

First there was el_mcgruffle, who seems to be having fun. He’s made a number of podcasts on various subjects. Wait, he deleted one?
Then there was hectormac, who just posted something so we could hear the difference in accent between he and Iain.
And now jhirat_dai, who evidently is recording underwater and is completely not understandable. Try again, dahling.
And before I forget:
Pick one word from each pair that you think describes me the best and leave it in the comments. Then copy this and post it in your own journal to see how your friends view you.

Bad memories again

I’ve decided I need to see a hypnotist. This has to be a repressed memory or some such.

Frakking DIL has lists of names scattered all over my computer desk. Do they mean anything? Long lost victims? Or just stupid lists of names I can’t throw out?
An actual email list of jokes I haven't seen a million times

What do you get when you cross holy water and castor oil?
A religious movement!
Sven said to his friend, “I think my wife is dead.”
“What do you mean, you think?”
“Well, the sex is still the same, but the dishes are stacking up.”
What did the elephant say to the naked man?
It’s cute but can you really breathe through that thing?
A farmer had a champion bull, bred 200 times a year.
Farmer’s wife says, “200 times! Isn’t that wonderful dear? Maybe you ought to watch him, maybe he’ll show you how!”
So the farmer says, “He’s a heck of a bull, but it wasn’t all with the same cow!”

Answer me something.
Why is it sexier when Scottish men say six than when they say sex?
Could you record the 6 times tables for me darling?
I refuse

I’m not doing the 100 things about me thing, because I barely scan y’alls and nobody really cares that much about me. If you really want to know something, just ask. You should know me by now, I’m an open book.
Same old complaint

Amazing how fast a slightly amusing joke or photo can go astray by one simple misspelling.
I’m not a Grammar Nazi. I’ve forgotten more grammar rules than I can remember, but I’m still a stickler for correct spelling. Especially around this crowd. And there are spell checking programs available literally everywhere. Google bar comes with a spell checker. This Semagic program I’m typing into comes with a spell checker. Just about every e-mail program I know of comes with a spell checker.
Yes, I understand sometimes we use the wrong word (bored or board?) and the spell checker doesn’t catch that. I easily forgive those oopses. Fine. Peachy. You’re in a hurry or just don’t care. Swell. No matter.
But whenever I see a word that doesn’t exist in the English language and I have to stop and decipher what the writer meant, I get irritated.
Spell check is your friend. And mine.
