Thoughts about our current existence

Pilloried comes to mind.

 

Gotta love Costco...

We've been invited to a Christmas brunch and when I asked what we should bring, the host suggested Danish. So, I went to Costco this morning, figuring they'd have a tray of lots of little ones. Nope! They sell these 4-packs (2 for $7.99) of a pastry which has roughly 1/4th the land mass of Denmark itself.

 

Anyone who's lived in southern California for a while knows that the proper Spanish pronunciation for San Pedro is San-Pay-dro. Except that it's not. The place was settled by Croatian and Italian immigrants who named it San-Pee-dro. The name stuck and that's what all the locals call it to this day. If you really want to sound like a local you just call it Pee-dro.

 

I always wondered about that!

 

DO turtles wear people-neck sweaters?

 

If God wanted us to fly he would have given us tickets.

 

He also would have propelled us through TSA with lightning speed.

 

Bad taste is simply saying the truth before it should be said.

 

Raisins are grape jerkey.

 

Why do we never see a headline that reads “Psychic wins lottery?”

 

I did not know spiders had first names like Rex.

Word

 

We're too busy crushing the stock and commodities markets.

 

Is “raviolus” the singular of “ravioli”?

 

Lol. Technically it's raviolo. And @macaronus should really be macarono. But, we'll give him a pass. After all, his people invented stroopwafels and poffertjes.

And I still want to know why people can't be gruntled.

 

I'll take the pretzels and beer the Germans gave us.

 

Once you’ve been disgruntled there’s no coming back.

 

Well, since it is dominus-domini, medicus-medici and octopus-octopi (as a few examples) I reasoned backwards (the way I am) : macaroni-macaronus. I have been following Latin classes during one year in high school.

Since then Latin is following me! Pecunia non olet! (money does *not* stink!)

I am a bit discombobulated by this post.

I heard an English football tv announcer refer to football venues in the plural as "stadia" this weekend. I was impressed.
