it's "VEGETABLES" not "VEGGIES"

[datasuspect]

and it's "REFRIGERATOR" not "FRIDGE."

got it?

good. move along, there's nothing to see here . . .

[auntAgonist]

1. why?

[progmom]

3. get to work!

[auntAgonist]

7. I'm tryin' I'm tryin'

I DID get my shopping done, couldn't find one thing that I had to have, so I just ordered it online. .... now cleaning the kitchen while doing laundry ...


heaven help me :hi:

ps. LOVED your program today!!

[datasuspect]

8. we feel the culture is inherently

infantilizing. we are striving to change that.

[progmom]

10. Is this the "royal we"?

[datasuspect]

15. it's the corporate "we"

[auntAgonist]

12. is thumbsucking still allowed?

:(

[Left Is Write]

13. Should I stop calling myself Cathy then?

My full name is Catherine.

[datasuspect]

16. truncated names are acceptable

but not, say, "cat" or something similar.

[Left Is Write]

17. For the record, I loathe being called "Cat." BUT....

if I did like it, why would that be unacceptable?

[datasuspect]

21. i'm really just joking

i've been reading proposals all day . . .

[Left Is Write]

23. I know.

And I'm having fun with that.

[datasuspect]

fun is good

i've been having lots of fun lately.

funny what detox can do for you.

[Left Is Write]

26. Fun is quite good.

But I freely admit having a sense of humor that occasionally makes it difficult for people to tell when I'm being serious and when I'm not.

[datasuspect]

29. me too

plus i'm kind of a jerk, so that doesn't help, but i really do mean well and i would feed ANY of you guys if you were hungry.

[Merlot]

32. That was my question, too

[xmas74]

2. My four year old has a hard time saying vegetables.

It slips her up. So in our house it tends to be veggies.

[datasuspect]

5. well, we can make an exception for children

my 5 year old nephew calls spaghetti "pasgetti."

it's actually very cute to hear from a child. imagine your father or bruce willis calling it that.

[xmas74]

11. I don't like to imagine Bruce Willis saying anything.

He's best when he keeps his mouth shut.

[Left Is Write]

14. Amen.

[xmas74]

19. Hah!

[Lady Effingbroke]

30. I was unaware that Bruce Willis was so literate!

"Pasgetti" - quite the maven of erudition, that Brucey!

I am making an exception to the banning of "ey" endings in Brucey's case, since he is rather infantile and it thus applies quite nicely.

[datasuspect]

31. i mentioned bruce willis

because there was a study by the royal college of surgeons in the mid-90s that came to the conclusion that at least 65% of the US population could describe bruce willis' features more quickly than that of their own father.

[Lady Effingbroke]

34. that is really sad!

I am having a difficult time trying to describe Bruce Willis without using profanity or resorting to the old "Guckert/Gannon look-alike" portrayal.

[RevolutionaryActs]

4. But 'vegetables' and 'refrigerator' are big words to type.. and I'm lazy..

:silly:

[ConcernedCanuk]

6. dammm! - I'll run down and get my veggies outta the fridge then !!

.
.
.

:silly:

[datasuspect]

9. btw, . . . . . "SMILEYS"

maybe that would be going too far . . .

[auntAgonist]

20. I'm tellin' Skittles

to kick yer butt :)

[datasuspect]

22. i probably need it

and may actually enjoy it . . .

[Lady Effingbroke]

25. is there an acceptable corporate substitute for the word "smileys"?

For that matter, should all words which are reducible to the infantilizing "y" "ey" or "ie" endings be, henceforth, prohibited?

[datasuspect]

27. prohibit these post haste

and summarize your results to present to the board at 9 am monday.

we have a productivity marathon slated for 10 am after that meeting.

[uppityperson]

18. swader waiter, not refrigerator

though I may show my age, why did we call it that in the 50's?

[ixion]

24. ah, you must be from Britan

here in 'Murika we spell stuff any ol way. ;-)

[Left Is Write]

28. Including Britain, I see.

:D

[intrepid_wanderer]

33. Wait just a cotton-pickin' minute!

[datasuspect]

disney cartoon . . .
