Wow - you have beautiful grandchildren. I’ll bet having so many so close in age is a lot of fun for the kids

[SoothingDave]

What’s red and green and goes 70 mph?

If somebody hacks Obama’s teleprompter, what would be the first symptom?

That the phrases are no longer amorphous, amphigory and ambiguous allegories but relevant and true, or that the words are suddenly good for America’s future?

Amphigory could define any tweets coming from the WH or ozero and his minions.

Jabberwocky is a nice piece of amphigory, but so is this periodical.

[NeoCaveman]

I think we flew over Iceland en route to Ireland.

I know we went over Greenland and frozen Canada.

[mikrofon]

The definitive Amphigoreical tome ....

[xsmommy]

makes sense that you would. our friend’s daughter who did her grad program at Oxford, went to Iceland for the weekend while there, I think they have deals. A woman in my ofc went for 5 days awhile back, it was off season for over there, but still cool.

[NeoCaveman]

I’d like to go there and see the Northern Lights but I doubt I will.

[SoothingDave]

Right. “Northern Lights.” Not “Hot blonde babes.” ;-)

Nice. I never thought about the Carbon Credit King when I put up today’s word.

[xsmommy]

He’s married to a hot babe no need to travel!

[SoothingDave]

Married, not dead.

You, of all people, should know that just cause you’re on a diet doesn’t mean you don’t want to look at a menu. LOL

[xsmommy]

I would not travel by air just to look at some menu!
