Flannel
Yodel
Lozenge
Constipated

Spoon

You know what word has the funniest spelling? Phlegm. It looks like it's all stuffed up and clogged and full of itself. It's a mucousy kind of spelling.

There's a band in New Haven CT (where I used to live) called "mighty purple" who wrote a song with "behooves" in it after a dare. It's a really great song!

I just went and checked my dictionary, to make sure sprocket is a real word. It means the toothlike projections on the rim of a wheel.

 * laughing out loud * It's a DEAL. I'm on my way with 5 TV remotes; one deluxe set of chrome-plated double-ended open-jaw spanners (not a metric one in the lot); my "How To Kill Anyone, Anywhere, with Anything" handbook (complete with lethal bagel launcher); and substituting the collected works of Stephen King for the Shakespeare (you wouldn't dream of taking my beloved Hamlet away from me, would you?). Can't believe you'd choose Toad-in-the-Hole (that's UK cuisine, right?) over chocolate creme-filled Oreos! Simply astonishing. Please have my ½ Kaboodle fully fueled and read for take-off.

You tease! There I was, all set to get my claws on my very first kaboodle and you yanked it right out from under me. I bet you really DO have a kaboodle hidden away somewhere and you're planning on auctioning it off on eBay. I've got me eye on you now... > * smile * (my poodle, on the other hand, is very interested in your caboodle. He says you can hardly tell the difference and that I'm just being pretentious)

Strange how I've never heard of a woman described as a curmudgeon before. My dictionary even specifies that it is generally used in reference to an old man. I think this noun has a bit of a gender bias. What would one call a female curmudgeon?
