Luckily back then, telemarketing hadn't been invented. But kids on the school bus were cruel. I had to get married just to achieve a two-syllable name.

I felt your pain, Buffy. Literally. My maiden name was Suggs. Heavy enunciation on the 'g' and people still said 'Lori Sucks'. <sigh>

When the song "Boy Named Sue" was played I soooo knew what the song was all about. Playing drums helped. People are nicer when they see you carrying sticks and know you know how to use them. "Heads sound remarkably drumlike when struck just right," I would say that as I played cadences on the back of a bus seat.

Lori, you are a funny chick! [backing away to gain safe distance from her sticks..]

This is for Dacs.

"Hylophilus musciapinus", "Poecitotriccus senex", and probably a not-too-distant forebear... http://www.arkive.org/buff-cheeked-gibbon/nomascus-gabriellae/image-G40286.html

Should Batty send you some Monkey Butt powder, Buffy?

Those are some hairy cheeks....

Okay, NOW I'm in the mood to short-sheet Dac's tent!

My current peeve: people that can't spell peeve right.

Tomorrow's peeve: people that use "impact" as a verb rather than the NOUN it actually is!

Saturday's peeve: people that say "suffice it to say", rather than "it suffices to say".

Sunday's peeve: smelly wildlife biologists

I am totally impacted by your peaves. Suffices it to say, I will now use all of them in one feld swoop. I only wish I had smell-o-internet. Then your impact of the situation would be complete.

Did it really take you two hours to compose that?

So you're planning on being peeved off until Monday?

If "impact" is a noun, how does a tooth do it?

Prolly from all the "seedy" bread......

By the way MY peeve is Probably - spell it out folks. Or as my BIL says - use your whole face!

Sorry your birds hate you.Glad your birds love you.

Wow, this is very confusing............speaking of which, maybe they don't like the "Seedy" bread because this is what they think of........

Close your eyes. Let me guide you. Dank old shirt with perma-sweat marks with a delicate scent of mildew inside the collar. Bug spray, the oily sticky kind that smells like it could burn your nostril hairs off. Sunscreen - the wonderful coconutty kind? No, the kind that smells like it came from the back cabinet of the doctor's office, the cabinet people are afraid to open. Wet socks, wet leather boots.

Do you get the complete scent-picture now? This is why Mrs. Dacs prays for his services to be so in demand. She's on her fifth washing machine and wants this one to last more than a month.

Good morning all! Looks like you had a chatty morning!

DAC- You are hysterical. I am crying over here with your "post post-daily chatter" commentary. Twice as funny after the fact.

Everyone: MY biggest idiomatic expression/verbal pet peeve: People who use adverbs with abandon. NOT everything requires an "LY" at the end. My mulish sister does this, and starts sentances with, "Actually..." or "In all actuallity". OK you pretentious twit! We get it. You think you are smarter than us.

for you. She'll also use the "ly" sprinkled unnecessarily throughout a sentance. I am trying to think of a good example, but the idiocy of it is not as strong in the written word. Buffy--help me out here.

She also begins statements with "To tell you the truth". I have tried to explain "to tell you the truth" does NOT have the desired effect of creating a connection and drawing SMART people into confidance. SMART people will automatically assume the next statement is a lie.
