Topic: Weebles SHOULD fall down

Show me the blog!

No vocabulary today. Not too much information. I am over processing a lot of you and that just doesn't seem fair, does it?
How about just entertainment? It's Monday, afterall. And who wants to think on a day like today? I can't even come up with
anything that is just running loose somewhere in my brain!!

Urban ~~Legends~~ Lies! "No one knows why" = crock o'shyte.

? A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why. False ?
? Ostrich eggs have no yolks, and no one knows why. False ?
? The Great Wall of China is visible from space (and no one knows why, LOL). False?
? Banging your head against a solid wall really hurts, and no one knows why. True and yes, we know why.?

Perhaps one fact:
?Scientists have identified only 4,000 different viruses, a fraction of the estimated 400,000 believed to exist on Earth.?

This is just interesting:
Redheads need 20% more painkillers

A University of Washington in Louisville study reported that natural redheads are more susceptible to pain and need more anesthesia when they go under the knife than do people with other hair colors. This confirms what anesthesiologists have suspected all along - that redheads can be a little harder to put under than others.

Scientists explained that redheads have a "defective receptor" for melanin, a pigment responsible for tanning. This same melanocortin-1 receptor cross-reacts with a related receptor on brain cells that influences pain sensitivity. Ouch!

HA! How many redheads???? I know one for a fact (and you know who you are) who fits this very description of painkillers and low tanning levels, although her arms aren't as pale as she would like, hair stick em up! Weebles should NOT fall down, and the ostrich yolk information should be put to good use....have the Jackass crew have a hard-boiled ostrich egg eating contest!!!

Now Playing: The Glove-Mr. Alphabet Says
Topic: Apple Oaths of Honor

Watch your blog hand!

So, Saturday has been and gone. And with what? Nothing. What have you accomplished this weekend?
No blog entries? Nothing to report? Are you still poking around at your brain trying to figure out what to
respond with? What about the definition for fuck all? That was bloody brilliant, I must say!

Why We Say It

You know those coined phrases we hear & say all the time, but never really knew where it may have come
from? Like phrases, or words, such as "ride shotgun" or "tuxedo," well, here you go. Let's cover a couple and
maybe we'll take on one more each day:

Ride Shotgun: Should you ever be asked to ride shotgun on a fund-raising campaign or other enterprise,
you would be expected to keep your eyes peeled for trouble. That is precisely what the shotgun- toting
guard did in the Old West. Usually assigned a seat beside the driver, the fellow who rode shotgun paid
little or no attention to passengers or horses. He stayed busy looking for signs of outlaws and was ready
just in case. The shotgun rider continues to be a vital member of a team which may face problems
on the way to a goal.
Tuxedo: Among some native Americans, the concept of a round foot such as that of the wolf was ex-
pressed by sounds that whites (ha ha, whites) rendered as "tuxedo." That, in turn, named a lake not
far from New York City. When the family of tobacco magnate Pierre Lorillard acquired the region near
the lake, it became an exclusive residential area. At a famous Tuxedo Lake Party, mens wore a new-
fangled dress outfit. Almost inevitably, it took the name of the resort that bore the name of a wolf's foot.

I want to see some of those vocabulary words from yesterday in your response! So, don't forget to use your brain!

Purple is your blogger!

I had this awesome idea in my head yesterday and it is gone. It had everything to do with this magical little space we call 'blog' or 'blig,' whichever you find more appealing.

I really enjoy reading your entries especially when there are weird vocabulary words to use. They are most entertaining and well worth it. That DOES NOT excuse the rest of you from participating. I do happen to know just how many people are invited to join in this little piece of jen's mind and 98% of you respond with fuck-all when it comes to this. Therefore I would like to take this opportunity to rub it in and say, "fah-getta-bout-it" because I shant stop reminding you DAILY!

arvine, adj. - dweller of the fields, such as the field mouse, ex. The arvine creature ran hither and yon.
bombane, v. - to hurl invective and contumely.
cuptone, n. - the sound made by cupping the hand over the ear.
devile, v. - to think of as a devil.
enfemic, adj. - peculiar to women.
fasole, v. - to physically calm or restrain.
gorcon, n. - mythological animal with the head of a frog and body of a duck.
josan, n. - the fourth primary color, the others being red, yellow, and blue.
lolodacity, n. - campaign strategy peculiar to politicians in which they hit far below the belt.
monodigital, adj. - the action of one finger, ex. He was a monodigital typist.
nonono, adv. - extreme form of the negative, no!

Exitus (A humorous look at the obits, Biblical style!)

Jerusalem: King David Dead

David, former king of Israel, was found dead in the palace late last night. David was much loved and respected by his people, ruling over Israel and Judea for some thirty-three years, before turning over the throne to his son Solomon. A fighter in the mold of Muhammad Ali, David will probably be remembered best for his surprise hand-to-hand combat victory over the Philistine giant Goliath of Gath, during the reign of Saul, and his little victory dance afterward on Goliath's head. Aesthetically inclined, the ex-king spent his last years studying droll limericks with his seraglio.

Finally: What exactly is Stockholm Syndrome?

Woman I think all this vocabulary is preparing me for the SATs in two weeks. Michael is an arvine creature who's brother likes to bombane and is a gorcon. I think there is much lolodacity being shown in the current presidential campaign. Stockholm Syndrom - when your feelings it because 6 bottles went down your drain ;)

The gorcon, enfemic and devile in her thoughts as always, ate the josan arvine field mouse, who had the lolodacity to exclaim "Nonono!" and could not fasole the average voter who came to vote for the Centaur.

The Idiosyncratic Marmalade Cheese Spread
Mood:

not sure
Now Playing: Future Bible Heros-Viennese Lift
Topic: Fruity Pebble Massacre

Don't make me blog this!

Oh, glorious day to you and yours! I am going to catch you up on the answers to past quizes right here, right now.

EHISSTW

WETTISH

WHITEST

As you know, that is the only challenge I had for you that required any answer of any sort.

And now for your delight...
...As defined by Humpty Dumpty in "Through The Looking Glass"

Brillig means four o'clock in the afternoon -- the time when you begin broiling things for dinner.

Slithy means "lithe and slimy."

Toves are something like badgers -- they're something like lizards -- and they're something like corkscrews. They are very curious looking creatures which make their nests under sun-dials -- also they live on cheese.
To gyre is to go round and round like a gyroscope -- Gyre is an actual word, circa 1566 a circular or spiral motion or form; especially a giant circular oceanic surface current.
To gimble is to make holes like a gimlet.
The wabe is the grass-plot round a sun-dial. It's called "wabe" -- because it goes a long way before it, and a long way behind it -- and a long way beyond it on each side.
Mimsy is "flimsy and miserable".
Borogove is a thin shabby-looking bird with its feathers sticking out all round--something like a live mop.

Rath

Mome is (possibly) short for "from home" -- meaning that the raths had lost their way.
Outgribing is something between bellowing and whistling, with a kind of sneeze in the middle.

I am most certain you can slip one of these ingenious words into your reply today!

Fact: From 1958 to 1961, Egypt and Syria were one country called the United Arab Republic.
Fact: We get the abbreviation 'lb.' from the Latin word for pound: "libra."
Fact: Abel Tasman discovered Tasmania, New Zealand and Fiji, but never noticed Australia.

brillig should mean cheap glasses, billig - cheap brille - glasses

The toves always gyre around my room making gimbles in my floor.

MENSA: How many common English words can you make from the letters EHISTTW? All letters must be used each time.

So I am feeling totally slow and lethargic this morning, trying my best to come up with something. Anything really. I don't care...

Oh!!! That's right!

Cambridge, MA
I totally knew that! I did, we swears it. But last night we could not remember where the hell Harvard was! DUH! I feel so dumb now.

OK, let's dive into history. This is a section from a book called 'Uncle John's Bathroom Reader Plunges Into History' called Proven Wrong By History: Part III

BACTERIOLOGY

SURGERY

EVERYTHING ELSE

One last fact: The first New York to California flight, in 1911, took 49 days.

1) The only word I can think to come up with, using all letters from the combination provided, is wet shit.

2) How can it take 49 days to fly across the country at that time.....where the planes as slow as the cars back then? Geez those people should have taken Greyhound.

Polar bear liver is so high in iron that it can have a toxic effect on human metabolism.

Can't fight the blog!

I shall begin with the answer to Friday's (the 17th) MENSA question, since only one of you actually answered, cough, cough (losers) cough.

The most clever (and longest) way to spell SIGH (following the same method as was used for FISH) is SCHEYE: SC as in schism and EYE as in eye. 95% of MENSA members who participated gave this same answer.

100% of the people who answered here gave PSAYE: PS as in psychic and AYE as in yes. Thank you, you know who you are. Now is the time on Sprockets when we dance!
