12:46 am

hurshy

i mixed it up

12:46 am

SamanthaJoy

You're maybe thinking of gadjo? Or gadji?

12:47 am

hurshy

it sounded like that the way the... yeah

12:47 am

hurshy

the way the girl on house pronounced it, i thought it sounded like the word in the grid

12:47 am

hurshy

but now that i look it up i see it is what you said

12:47 am

hurshy

and since i am not terribly knowledgable about marijuana

12:47 am

SamanthaJoy

Seems legit. I'm only familiar with it in writing, but I can see a pronunciation like that.

12:48 am

hurshy

it was an easy mistake for me to make

12:48 am

hurshy

that's the second time today i've dropped an E that i shouldn't have dropped and misspelled a word

12:49 am

hurshy

knowledgeable

12:49 am

hurshy

earlier did it with irreplaceable

12:49 am

hurshy

i know that C and G need to keep the E in order to stay soft, why am i being so silly?!

12:49 am

hurshy

I HOPE IT'S NOT ALZHEIMER'S

12:50 am

hurshy

*sigh*

10:43 am

MollyL

Aren't you supposed to be on a plane to Vegas?

10:45 am

cosdem

not til later

10:45 am

MollyL

Oh good. I thought unforeseen problems had arisen.

10:47 am

cosdem

flight at 4:44pm

10:47 am

cosdem

i need to re-pack though lol

10:49 am

cosdem

25 left. listing even without nbt/nbs

11:04 am

MollyL

This grid is full of the unknown and the obscure. I think even self-imposed "rules" were meant to be broken today.

11:09 am

LadyFeline

Cos--from a lurker, I am happy to see that Vegas is still a go. :)

11:09 am

cosdem

and thats fw

11:10 am

cosdem

thanks LadyFeline.. i woke up today and im like ugh.. everythings paid for.. may as well just go! :)

11:34 am

rururocks

I wonder if we'll ever had a Lady Canine?

11:37 am

cosdem

unsure but we did have an lady elaine

11:39 am

MollyL

Ack, that reminds me of that horrid looking puppet on Mr. Rogers

11:40 am

MollyL

*Refrains from comment about Lady Canines

11:40 am

cosdem

growing up I never understood why they called her Elaine when she was a man.. it was in my 20s I realized she was a female. my bad.

11:41 am

cosdem

plenty of lady canines around today though. *whistles innocently*

11:41 am

MollyL

Maybe she was the first trans-gender puppet

11:41 am

cosdem

sure why not.. we had ernie and bert after all

11:44 am

MollyL

God, that was a big war when half the Sesame Street people were saying "yes they are gay" and the other half saying "no they are not".

11:46 am

MollyL

I always thought of Ernie and Bert as Oscar and Felix from The Odd Couple and I never thought of those two as gay.

11:50 am

cosdem

sesame street last year confirmed they were gay lol i found that silly

11:51 am

cosdem

well.. not sesame street but a main writer for the show did.

11:52 am

MollyL

Yeah, and then there was a lot of push back from others involved saying "oh no they weren't". Thing is, kids don't care. They are, as my nephew called them, "ErnieBert"

11:53 am

MollyL

Lady Elaine and all those other weird ass puppets on Mr. Rogers, that is an entirely different story.

11:55 am

Book Doctor Gwen

hi all, diving in to the shallow end -- looking for the deep end lol

11:56 am

cosdem

Bert: Would you like some ice-cream?
Ernie: Sherbert!

"Sherbert" bothers me a lot less than prolly.

1:54 pm

3:25 pm
