Uh, Diego. The Diego and Dora cartoons have this strange side-effect of making the children who watch them say everything VERY LOUDLY. Why couldn't they make a cartoon where the characters don't YELL EVERY SINGLE WORD?
Oh, and FIRST!!!!!!

My boyfriend has two chinchillas who live in a massive cage in our kitchen. They're annoying enough trapped within their metal confines. I couldn't possibly deal with a child running around the house pretending to be a chinchilla.

My Dad could never say alzheimer's either. He called it ELK-heimer's. He eventually got it. Just saying, Uncle Bob....

Yes, this is one of the entries I'm talking about. I think this is an entry that when you're done, you can just hit "delete" and we will never be the wiser. You don't HAVE to post everyday, ya know.

"Narcissism" and "statistics" are the two I have difficulty with ... even though I practice the first just fine.

Andy, - well, right here in the UK we have the City of Worcester in the county of Worcestershire. Been around for about a thousand years. Famous for its sauce, its made from a secret recipe handed down from the druids. Apparently the used to lively up their sandwiches with it when they took a break from building Stonehenge. Large quantities of sauce bottles were found at the foot of the largest standing stones. This has led to the tradition of smearing your naked body with the sauce on the summer solstice and running about ululating. Try it...

Pete --
Chipotles are dried jalapeno peppers. They are usually sold in cans with adobo sauce. And they are yummy.

Someones a bit grumpy today... and for the record A.Chipotle is a SPANISH word B. Worcestershire and Alzheimers are both GERMAN words and C. Sorry is a word that no adult male i have ever know is able to say with a straight face.
-------------------------------
Squeakzilla - 2005-12-16 12:25:09
Chipotles are always smoked and can either be dried or not. Smoked without a bong, I imagine.

DanjerusKurves - 2005-12-16 12:32:21
Since when has "Worcestershire" been a GERMAN word?????????? See Will H.'s comment above for further clues.

Pete - 2005-12-17 15:05:00
Thanks for the info about chipotle.
WHO ON EARTH THINKS WORCESTERSHIRE IS german???
For the unenlightened
Worcestershire is a county in England.
Worcester is the County Town.
Worcestershire sauce (always abbreviated in speech to Worcester Sauce) is what it say, a sauce produced in Worcestershire. The makers are Lee & Perrin, and you may have guessed, I love it.

Druidic England was overrun by the Romans. Roman England was overrun by Germanic tribes of Saxons (hence Anglo-Saxon). So Worcestershire may, in fact, be Germanic in origin and still be a county and town in jolly,old, really old, England. So put that in your pipe and smoke it. And be sure to pass that pipe my way.

Will H - 2005-12-20 06:57:07
By Jiminy! Sir Winston you are indeed, correct:
"By the mid 7th century the Saxons had started a new settlement by a ford in the River Severn. The old Roman settlement gave its name to the new Saxon town. The Saxons called a Roman settlement a caester. They called this one Weogoran caester. Weorgoran means people of the winding river.
In 680 AD Worcester was given a bishop and a cathedral. Once it was the seat of a bishop Worcester grew rapidly. (The church was very wealthy and powerful in those days and having a bishop was a great asset).
In the late 9th century Worcester was made a burgh. Alfred the Great created a network of fortified settlements called burghs across his kingdom. In the event of a Danish attack all the men in the area could gather in the burgh to fight them. Worcester would have been surrounded by a ditch and rampart, probably with a wooden palisade"
What is the world coming to when an American has to teach me, an Englishman, about British history! (and me a History graduate, and all!)
That's why I come here - for the educational value. I consider myself suitably chastened...

And thank you, Will H., for further illuminating the illustrious origins of Worcestershire. The Saxons were wise to build next to a Ford -- if the site proved unacceptable they could start up the Ford and drive to another location. But a Ford in the River Severn? Surely a Ford, even a 4 x 4 Ford, could not be driven after being submerged in a river for any length of time. There are still many mysteries of the past to taunt us and our latest crop of History graduates!
-------------------------------
Will H - 2005-12-22 06:21:15
Those Saxons were pretty smart - but you would've though they would've built Worcester next to a BMW or a Mercedes, rather than a Ford? Hmmm, I'm off to the British Museum to investigate further. I feel a groundbreaking thesis coming on...

DAMMIT Uncle Bob! You mentioned the Eintein movies, so I decided I would try it for my 3 yr old daughter (who btw still tortures me with the Baby Einsteins!!) Now we can add another to my collection of pain.
BTW, I am from N.H. and we pronounce it "Woosta-sheer". And new hampshire is NOT pronounced "new hamp-SHIER". It's New Hamp-SURE. (or, new hamp-SHAH - if you're the die hahhd type.) :)
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!
