Well, well, well, another hurricane. That makes two to hit us so far this year. Bertha and Fran. Now I gotta ask...Does anybody know anybody who's name is "Bertha"? (I suppose when you think about it, that's a suitable name for a hurricane.) Yep, God's country is turning into the Devil's playground. And don't blame me, I didn't invite him.
Which brings me to the Word-of-the-Week: Widdershins. I hope *your* dictionary has it listed, only one of mine does.
Miles tells us his pets, a chicken and a cat, are concerned about him. They keep telling him what a shame it is that *they* go out more than he does. He doesn't care what they say, he's keeping his indoor toilet.
And speaking of talking animals...
izercul is getting another cat because he/she has run out of conversation with the current one.
Jim says he'll keep his yellow, '77 Toyota Corolla. He never has any trouble finding it in the parking lot. He doesn't worry about it being stolen or broken into. He gets amused watching expensive cars try to merge into his lane. And he claims he can fix it by laying his hands on it. (Punchline...usually with a wrench or screwdriver in them.)
Adam certainly learned a lesson about cleaning his keyboard. Feeling ambitious, he took it apart to do a good and thorough job. When everything was all bright and shiny, he was then faced with a dilemma...he couldn't remember what order the keys went back into place. (Adam...did you find any money?)
Nikki doesn't drink as a rule, but the festivities at the Vietnamese Wedding Reception proved rules can be broke. We don't know how many glasses of champagne she had. We don't know how many *bottles* of champagne she had. We DO know that she was happy and giddy for it. Not so much the next day though, when she couldn't get the taste out of her mouth.
