lol When I was less that five, and I'm thinking it was just before I turned three, I went to church with my aunt and uncle. There was much talk of leopards which still gives me an uneasy feeling. Communion, the body of Christ, was passed along the pews; little rolls of bread that I thought looked like chopped fingers.
When I was around 17 I used a phrase my father used a lot: 'that's about as funny as a car full of dead people.' Except I said carpool. My parents corrected me with suppressed smiles. Dammit!
A little boy I know misheard his mother's explanation that the cockpit of their 737 was where the pilots sit. He spent the next few minutes worrying about what pirates were doing flying the plane.
ricpic, me too, I heard everybody saying quite clearly in unison "ennelmennelpee" I knew I had that nailed but everyone else was totally goofing me up, the tards, but I thought it was me who was off, the conflict never did resolve.
I do my exercises in the basement which has a VERY primitive ventilation system which consists of: (1) two open windows; (2) a pedestal fan; and (3) a door open at the top of the stairs.
Henceforth, whenever I mean to refer to radon, I shall use the word "giraffe."

john, I know!
After I posted a new page shows listing all the posts, this at top "scheduled" and I thought, "Why does it say draft? Oh! I put it there. Duh."
"Why does it say draft?"
Me too.
Via Ace of Spades.
A different suprise.
I hope that's not out of date. I would most likely pee my pants.
As a kid whenever I got to the LMNOP part of reciting the alphabet I always mangled it thusly: ello-meno-pee.

Very cool.
PS deborah, Dr Freud would have loved you.

And I thank you, Mr. Ahoy.
