Jul. 8th, 2009 03:51 pmWhenever you're trying to determine mathamatically how delicious or disgusting something is, always remember to divide by how it smells.

Lest I forget
Jun. 10th, 2009 09:26 amThe reason I asked my question yesterday about famous vs well known.
I was reading comments on someone's post and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mgrasso said something that ended with the phrase "happy go lucky".
And I thought
Ah, Happy Golucky, the less famous, but better known cousin of Holly Golightly.
And I started wondering if that middle part made any sense to anyone but me.

Phrases documented
Jan. 21st, 2009 07:49 pmFor future reference, I'm listing some phrases that have seen some use of late. Perhaps if other people read them, they will gain wider currency.
"Honk the Jutle" - To perform one's morning ablutions. To prepare one's self for the day. A New England regionalism. (not really)
"A Bunny Load" - an inordinate amount - for example, "Carry a Bunny Load" - to attempt to bring all the groceries into the house in one trip, by yourself, no matter how many items there are or how many people there are to help.
Have any others? Tell me and I'll add them to the list.

New word! (to me)
Dec. 1st, 2008 08:54 pmThank you Girl Genius! I'm sure I'll be using this word quite a bit.
I think I've been playing too much Scrabulous. Last night I was dreaming words. Sadly, they are new words and won't be in Scrabulous. The one I remember is:
Jate - a person who deals with tea and flags, often in an official capacity.
Also this morning I realized that cats odd behavior can be explained by their biological uniqueness. Cats are the only animal that frequently transition between organic and inorganic matter. This explains why sometimes they are normal and sometimes a silicate. EDIT:(silly cat) (you have to say it out loud for it to work well) (It IS funny) (Honest!)

Strange Dreams Lately
Jun. 23rd, 2008 08:34 amLast night I kept alternating between sex dreams and nightmares. Come to think of it, that'd be a great album name. Anyway, this has been true of the last 2 nights and they keep waking me up. It is all very annoying.
I'd much prefer more dreams like the one I had a few nights ago where I was bicycling through the Philadelphia countryside circa 1770 with Ben Franklin. We were discussing constitutional theory and practice.
Of course that dream left me wondering why they called it a "Constitution". Was this a word in use at the time? Did they create the word from other English words or derive it from Latin? If it was in use at the time, what was it being used for?
