OK...
...I posted something for you to read in case the tornadoes get me. My blogger spell checker thingie stopped working so I'm having to do the best I can. If I just spelled "tornadoes" wrong, my bad.
I've been listening to the news for decades and I don't ever remember hearing the word "tornadic" until recently. Of course, now I hear it all the time
You know how if you hear a new word you hear it constantly after that? Well, that happened to me with chipotle peppers. What the hell is a chipotle pepper and why didn't we ever hear about them before? I looked it up in a 50's era cookbook of mine and they had them back then...I guess no one noticed them.
So...who was it that all of a sudden started using them and why did they catch on so well? I must know this. Before the year 2000, I had never heard of a chipotle pepper. Now they have restaurants named after them. And how the hell are you supposed to pronounce that word...chipotle? I've heard about 4 different pronounciations. I'm glad I'm just writing it now...you can sound it out.
I hate to pronounce a word wrong. I pronounced "assuage" ah-swahge until my father told me it was ah-swage. I felt like an idiot. The only thing worse than pronouncing words wrong is hearing them pronounced wrong. Especially if I'm on a date. I will dump a guy for ordering a GYRO instead of a YERO. I don't want to be seen with such a moron.
I should have known better when my ex called Pensacola "Pepsicola" and Philadelphia "PhiladelTHIA". Oh well. Once again...my bad. My father told me to stop marrying men who's last names end in a vowel.
Earlier this morning, I heard a guy on the news use the word "whenever" wrong and it made me want to call the station. Whenever is a reference to an unknown time period...not a known time. He said, "Whenever they heard the tornado this morning, they ran into their basement so their lives were spared." WHAT?
Jerry Springer-speak has spread from his show, throughout the trailer parks and now it's hitting the news people. This could be bad.
I saw a newsguy who spray-painted his head. I guess he did it to cover up a bald spot but most people know the difference between spray paint and hair so he didn't do himself any favors.
Those newspeople sure are an odd group.
Well, I have a blank mind now. I don't think I should subject you to it any longer. I'll be back if I have anything to say. It could be 5 minutes, it could be 5 hours. But, as long as the tornadic activity doesn't affect me...I will be back!
