He's my hero.

joannie

Yeah, but it makes you wonder how he burnt his hand in that get up.

ray a

If you notice, 2 fingers are exposed on each hand. It takes a rugged guy to wear yellow like that.

Well, it takes something...

ritaanz

Jo, how can you tell it's Paul? I know, I know, by the way he is holding that weapon. See, he is taking aim at his foot. Thank goodness the gun has a long barrel or the family jewels would be in peril.

ray a

OK, you girls quit drooling over him. He's not that macho.

ritaanz

Drooling? Ray are you serious?

ritaanz,

I thought that was why the left hand was so strategically placed.

ritaanz

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

Good one.

Paul in Cannon Beach

You guys are wierd.

ritaanz

Oh PCB, you are dead wrong. We is girls.

HRQ

Spelling trick from the master;

It's really spelled w-e-i-r-d. It doesn't follow any of the rules, in fact, weird is spelled, um, weird.

It is pronounced "we-ird." We. ird. We. That is the sound. Forget the "i before e" rhyme on this word only. Some lunatic approved the spelling of this word.

Hope that explains it. Be ready for the next pageant. I was lenient with "intelligenitally" because your outfit was so cute.

That is my Forum contribution for the week. Back to the hamster wheel that has been my job these past several days.

ritaanz

Is a grammer and sentence structure lesson next? I know you are supposed to use a plural verb when the subject is also plural but PCB is not as refined as you and I. Besides, I almost wrote we is goils.

HRQ

Incorrect spelling or grammar are acceptable when done on purpose, for effect. x:D

I recognize poor grammar or structure when I see it but can't explain why it's wrong or tell you the rules. I bet Ray can explain it, though. I can only fix it.

Spelling is something I'm just good at, although I admit "weird" plagued me until just recently. Took me 38 years to come up with that stupid trick to remember how to spell it.

My entire family has an obsession with words, origins of words and phrases, Scrabble, reading, pretty much anything related to words. When the family is together, we regularly stay up 'til the middle of the night, drinking scotch and playing Scrabble or word games.

Remember I am from Nebraska. There's not a heck of a lot else to do for entertainment. That, or we are just freaks.

joannie

You drink scotch! My hubby would love you. He tries to get me to drink it instead of my fru-fru drinks, as he calls them, and gets upset when I tell him scotch taste like a charcoal briquet.

HRQ

By the way, I bought a bottle of Mirassou merlot a few weekends ago. It was wonderful.

I come from a scotch drinking family. Grandparents on both sides, parents, me. My brothers think it's nasty, except for after several hours of beer drinking, and the scotch is the only liquor left in the house. x;-) Jeez, I make us sound like a bunch of lushes, don't I?

Paul in Cannon Beach

"And after the scotch, we raid the medicine cabinet for cough syrup and start a new game of scrabble but by this time we allow making up new words until grandpa gets mad or passes out."

Got any more family stories, Q?

HRQ

Actually, that's quite accurate, Paul. ('cept we never run out of scotch... We plan better than that.)

Have you been stalking us? x;-)

Paul in Cannon Beach

Yes, actually. In my yellow jersey that looks like a cross between GI Joe and a bumblebee.

See how this thread has come full circle?

So is anyone in your family named "Sherry" or "Brandy"? How about "Bud"?
