Say What? #5

From time to time I like to share with you guys definitions I've come up with for some of the more interesting verification words I've come across while signing on to your blogs. Here's my latest instalment...


The heroine in Stieg Larsson's Millenium series



What one hunter says to the other as they approach an unsuspecting pulark




Not entirely disingenuous





Not your log




Acronym for Don't Eat Some Silly Idiot's Stew




Where the rich people are asked to go in the theatre




There's couch surfing. This is when all you can afford is a cushion.





All that's left after your friends ate the rest of your tostitos

Quirks: At least you're not entirely disingenuous. Did you eat the rest of the tstos?

Glad you defined those terms; I had about given up, couldn't find them in any dictionary! ;)

Tstos sounds like a Russian ornament to me.

TRYC: Oh, I should have told you they can only be found in the dufus dictionary. Please consult it as often as you like.

Linda: That's right they hang their tstos on their tstrismas trees.

Heh, heh. "Punkiest" - that was quite the 'co-inky-dinky' (and exactly what I thought too!).

Hahaaa! I love these. Sometimes the words even make sense. I think the tstos was my favorite. :)

And here I thought tstos was that nasty stuff between your toes when you pull your socks off. Huh. Learn something new everyday.

Just got one: gustrise. The phenomenon that lands panty-less pseudo-celebrities in Star magazine, when they exit limos wearing short dresses into blustery weather. First observed in more innocent times, circa mid-fifties, by Marilyn Monroe in Seven Year Itch. But she wore panties.

Never at a loss for words, it's good to see you even occasionally pilfer yours from somewhere else. Nice pilfering.

Remember, "Nothin' says lovin' like somethin' from the oven, and pilfering says it best."

HumorSmith: Pilfering says it best, indeed. That kinda explains the internet, doesn't it.

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy! ...

My Back Pages - November

I know, I know, I know I should have reported in before now. But sometimes real life just gets in the way. I attempted 5 books in November. I say attempted because I slapped a big DNF (did not finish) on Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon. I just can't seem to get into this guy. It's the second or third of his I've given up on, Not so the other four, starting with a biography of Stephen Stills called Change Partners. This followed by a hilarious biography of the guy responsible for National Lampoon called A Stupid and Futile Gesture - How Doug Kenney and National Lampoon Changed Comedy Forever. I ended the month reading yet another biography, this one of the man behind Rolling Stone magazine,. It was called Sticky Fingers: The Life and Times of Jann Wenner and Rolling Stone Magazine. A fascinating read. So last month I hit the magic number 50 I'd imagined for myself back in January. If I roll this month into my yearly total I'm at 54 books. And I still hav...
