Any "-ville" in the area I live is pronouced "vull" rhyming with null. Shelbyville become "Shebbyvull"; Meridianville becomes "Marinevull". But "Lick Skillet" is "Lick Skillet" as is Bell Buckle, Hotrock and, yes, Skinem.

The leader of a small village was sick and called for the doctor. After examining the leader, the doctor produced a long, thin leather strip. He instructed the leader to bite off an inch of it every day and chew it. A month later, the leader called for the doctor again. He said to the doctor, "...

I like it. Now when a pun is taken in a context like a joke of this nature, i can appreciate it. Thanks for it. (Are you experiencing floods where you live????) No. I'd be fine any way, up on a hill, although one of my creeks and a spring got kinda large for a bit. It was like the clouds parted at ...

Now you're talking my language! They's a passel of good info in them thar words.

The resident Polish joke!? A usurper!

...and I'm not even Polish...my wife thinks I need more polish, though...does that count?

Interesting word--I didn't know all those definitions.

Thanks--and post more!

I understood what you meant. I have a warped sense of humor...I know I know you weren't a Who fan! The band The Who did "a rock opera" called "Tommy". But, a band called The Electric Light Orchestra did some rock versions of (or at least pieces of) some of the classics that the c...

I remember--prime time entertainment.

Hussy always seems to be accompanied with "shameless"...is there any other kind?

I guess it sounds better than "shameful hussy" or "shamed hussy" or "ashamed but can't help herself hussy"...

Well, since I don't know the difference among the
choices, I guess I'll just have to put it to some
old Beethoven, Brahms, Bach melody in my head.
Some help you are. Thanks for nothing (yuk,yuk).
Perhaps a rock opera.

Who?

I've found some rupicoline climes rather sapid, at times they've become momentarily a little rapid, but never vapid.

I've been wondering if sault might not be a corruption of French saut, which means leap. That would make sense for lions, n-est ce pas?

Isn't a group of lions called a leap?

Nah, I wasn't clear...I meant the success with that name. I do have to say that growing up out west, I'd hear the word some (usually sports-associated for some reason) but not with the frequency that I have in the south, and certainly never knew out west anyone with that as a nickname...I know two o...

Always like this word.

Got a buddy with this as his nickname...he's named his little local chain of convenience stores this...Mojo's. I think part of the success was just the name alone...but maybe it's just a southern thing.

Is the honor among friendly thieves connivial?

It may be the night of the long connives.

PS: Hooray! Gail is back!

That was funny...

Good to see Gail post again.
