Nice list.

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

Yes. It's the best way to express oneself after hitting your thumb
with a hammer (or stitching oneself to a quilt).

THANK YOU!

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at
work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive
for the rest of the day.

If/when it comes at breakfast, do you still have to go?

Duvet day...

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I
don't want to have to restart my collection...again.

White Album again..."

Just squirrel your whole collection away on the laptop, and when the
Next Big Thing comes out, you can just transfer the whole pile of files!
(Whistles gently along to the tunes on the wax cylindars... )

19. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just
nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they
said?

What?

Eh? Half past three.

OK, Ladies.....

I'll ignore that.

Wise.

I've had a different experience with #17. Years ago, early
'90's
my ex and I were at New Orleans for business. We were
driving
around trying to find the French Quarters. Circle after
circle we
went and always ended up by the Saints NFL statium.

We also ended up down by the water a few time and someone
there
did say we were not in safe territory. Hogwash, I thought.
Sure,
there are the ones who do the evil but there are also the
ones who
are there to help and to do good.

I finally talked my x into stopping at this gas station
right in the
middle of it all so we could ask for directions to Bourbon
St.
My 6' 3" 250 lb x would not get out of the car.

I got out, went into the station's store and explained our
problem.
Not only did this young black person tell us how to get
there, but
when walking out of the store together he decided "hey, just
follow
me and you'll get there." During our short conversation, I
learned
that this young man played b-ball for Tulane. I sure hope
he's still
out there helping others who get lost.

So we found Bourbon Street. Acutally, I found a lot more
then that.

Can we talk about #17? We can't always travel with Clint
Eastwood wanting someone to 'make his day'. The nearest
town has been having murder trials for the last 2 years
because someone going to a grandson's football game
stopped to ask for directions. NOBODY local would have
stopped in that area. The Google maps also need to
include sensible warnings like 'arrive before dark' and
'wait for escort before leaving vehicle'. Especially here
in the Swamp. Polly
17. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing
option.

Polly, I'm reminded of the commercial where the woman is walking her pet
alligator along the sidewalk. Any chance you might be able to put one in
the back seat?

* *(Whistles gently along to the tunes on the wax cylindars... *)

If only that were practical. Besides, wax SOUNDS better.

No, dear, that's a BIDET! DUVET is the big fluffy comforter stuffed
with down (or Dacron hollofiber in my case!) on the bed that keeps you
cozy all winter...

Your prayers are answered...

Maybe Kate's. I was using "wax" colloquially. I came into a large
collection of vintage bluegrass & old-timey records - many from the
50's thru '70s (NINETEEN 50's thru '70s, that is...) that have never
been opened/played. (Yes, the wrappers were slit to prevent shrink
damage). Some of it I'm sure is... "meh", but some is pretty rare.

One of the classic movie channels (either TCM or FOX, I forget) has
been running Leo Gorcey/Huntz Hall movies on Saturdays (Dead-End Kids,
East Side Kids, Bowery Boys - there were a lot of them). Overall it's
pretty lowbrow stuff, redeemed by Leo Gorcey's genius when it came to
"moidering the King's English" via malapropisms...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Gorcey
"always delivered in a Brooklyn accent, such as "a clever seduction"
for "a clever deduction," "I depreciate it!" ("I appreciate it!"), "I
regurgitate" ("I reiterate"), and "optical delusion" ("optical
illusion")."

When you listen closely for them, it's funny stuff.

We cast nasturtiums, and follow the destructions for making things all
the time. Wordplay is always fun.
