Gee, and I thought the dampness happened after and as a result of the growth, but I guess mushrooms and similarly formed objects are not my field of expertness.

Well, unless it's the poisonous kind?

Depending on who you ask, that may be all of them.

The northern Michigan mushrooms are going to disappear...we're getting frost every night. We already had a week of summer a few weeks ago so now we're in fall heading back for winter. Or, maybe the earth is getting ready to do it's 2012 thingy !!!

(imagine the old board emoticon of the bulging eyes)

Imagine it? *takes a melon-baller to Gwampy's eyes*

At least I won't have to see the end of all time as we know it.

 

* closes his empty eyelids *

* takes a nap *

* snores *

* passes Gwampy gas in his sleep *

* sighs *

* smiles *

*fits Gwampy for a cement swimsuit*

* rolls eyes *

 

Couldn't swimming in a cement suit be... uuuhhhmmm... rather ... uuhhmmm... dangerous?

 

* rolls eyes some more *

* ponders *

Nonsense, the guys who supplied the suit are also in the "insurance" business.

Nonsense, the guys who supplied the suit are also in the "insurance" business.

 

 

Really?

 

In that case...

 

* dons the cement swimsuit *

* dives in *

 

If you can't trust people in the "insurance" industry, who CAN you trust?

 

* sinks *

 

BBLLLUUUUBBBBBB !!!!

 

* tries to call for help with lungs full of water *

 

BBBBLLLLUUUUUUUBBBBBB !!!!!

 

* drowns *

* learns a hard lesson about trust *

Air-quotes. Insurance, protection, whatever. Racketeering, dig?

I understood. I was trying to be sarcastically cute yet funny. Failed again... as usual.

*presses a tennis racket into your flesh and pours maple syrup over the marks* Behold, the Awful Waffle. So sayeth Salute Your Shorts.

I salute no shorts that haven't governed space dust

*carves a jack-o'lantern face in the back of your head*

HEY!

 

What do you know?

 

The reply box popped right open!

 

I didn't have to jump through any hoops to reply!

 

* ponders *

 

Maybe it's a trap...just setting me up for the big let down...there still could be a skunk hiding under this wood pile.

 

* nods *

 

Best to not get too optimistic until it happens more than once.

 

* nods again *

* considers trying to insert a smiley *

* reconsiders *

* shakes his head 'no' *

 

One should not press one's luck.

 

* nods *

Perineum.

 

I just kind of wanted to say that. No reason.

Can't say as I've ever heard that term before.

Noun, I assume.

Some kind of flower I'd guess.

Some kind of biological term maybe.

Looks to be Latin based.

Could be a state of mind. "She found herself deeply lost in perineum."

Might just be impulsive spam...totally made up.

 

* wonders if he'll be able to remember the word next week *

* doubts it *

"She found herself deeply lost in perineum."

 

*giggle* Oh, were you only to take the time to look up what that word means.

Gramps might like it, which would mean you wouldn't do it

I wouldn't do it under any circumstances, but he wasn't talking about me.

It must be something naughty. I used to like naughty in my younger days. Not so important nowadays.

* sighs *

 

No, the "she" was not specific...it was a general character...could be any she.

 

Now I'll have to try to google the silly word because I'm curious.

 

* goes to google *

 

* returns *

 

 

OOOOOOooohhhh !!!

 

 

Taint got nothin' to do with what I first guessed.

 

Well...

 

Might be considered a flower, maybe...

 

Could be a biological term...

 

Maybe I wasn't so far off after all !!!

 

I still doubt that I'll be able to remember the spelling in a week or two but I think I might remember the meaning.

 

* blushes *

* grins *

* ponders the example sentence *

* blushes some more *

Coprophilia, gravidophilia, dendrophilia...

* purposely avoids the temptation of googling those words *

* thinks about what they probably mean *

* blushes...AGAIN *

 

Remember.

 

There could be innocent youngsters googling this stuff.

 

Or, maybe sheltered old folks!!!
