SK,
I was chortling in my joy as I went galumphing down the road on my way to work today. Though there were a few times I went snicker-snack through the traffic. (OK, not really, but I love those words. I make my 7th graders read that poem every year.)

Forced into My First Ever Team Estrogen Post by the evile (a favorite "word" of mine) Sadie Kate:
Evile
Ginormous
La De Frickin Da
(although, oddly, I do not care for "frickin" outside of this phrase all that much)
That's it for now.

And we don't allow any shenanigans that would make things discombobulated--anyone caught doing such will be defenestrated (and I'm sure the mere thought of this treatment would cause tachycardia)! Originally Posted by mimitabby

And one more thing: We don't want some numpty causing a stooshie with her palaver about "vehicular cycling" vs. other techniques! (This happens a lot on another forum)
