The Greeks strike again!



Only instead of using a wooden horse they came at us with such delicacies as Gyro makings, Spanakopita (spinach pie), garlic spread, Greek bread and salad. This was brought to us by a Greek Surgeon who has some partnership with OZ. Unfortunately, he brought the food after everyone but me had eaten. You can imagine the fight to divide the yummy food!
.
This one doesn't like spinach so wants more gyro meat.-Denied!
This one wants to take a bag of salad.-Denied!
This one doesn't want garlic spread but wants extra bread.-Denied!
.
Finally, as acting Kitchen Marm for this week, I made the decision to keep the food in the fridge and not have people take any home. Right now, you're wondering if I have that power. I guess I do but I won't let it go to my head. [much!]
They are to eat it in the office only! Take that you beastly bats! Ha Ha Ha!
The look on their faces was priceless!
.
We now interrupt your regularly schedule nonsense blogus to bring you the following sports word:
.
Now, I'm not a sports fan.
AT ALL!
I listen to my brothers and Andy go on and on while I'm rearranging my shoe collection in my head. I'm happy when our home teams win but normally I can't be bothered. But... this time I have an opinion.
.
Andy was going to watch the Chicago Bears game on Monday night when this dude by the name of Tony Kornheiser (Oh the things we could do to that cornball name!) came on and berated the Bears by saying they thought their opponents would cower in fear just by looking at their uniforms and all they had to do was show up.
.
He then claimed what the Bears had was hubris (according to my research it's: exaggerated self pride or self-confidence; overbearing pride, often resulting in fatal retribution) as I said, I am not a sports fan but I said to Andy: "What a pompous asshole!" I immediately looked up his name along with the word hubris and was surprised (no, not really.) to find he had written the same thing about Bode Miller on 2/27/06.
.
So, not only is he a pompous asshole, he's a pompous asshole that recycles his own garbage! Big hand of applause to Tony Kornhieser [<-click if you'd like to read his 2006 article] for not having enough creativity to write something original therefore resorting to recycling his horse shit! Nuff said.
.
Now back to your regularly scheduled program.
!!--- I can't!---!!
I'm so ticked off by that guy I can't see straight!
Instead, I'm gonna congratulate the Chicago Cubs for signing a new player from Japan. He has a difficult name to pronounce so I'd like to help you in case you ever have to say it while using the word "hubris". You can consider this a sports PSA.

FUK*U*DO*ME
*
That there name should be in the Hall of Fame along with Dick Butkus!
Famous Bear linebacker according to wiki. I was just informed Dick Butkus is in the hall of fame... oops! ;o)
.
Okey dokey, I'm done for the night. We have now talked about Greek food, Greek Words, Pompous A-holes and Sports. I'm off to watch Superman Doomsday (cartoon) with Andy.
I read the comic (forced by Andy) and cried because... LOOK AWAY IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE ENDING! Superman... DIES! ::sniff sniff::
.
Raise your hand if you hate Lois Lane!
.
Wow, just me huh...

Hangry: When hunger morphs to anger -by 'Amy Reynaldo'

Invertibrats: people involved in spineless behavior -by ‘Gary Courington’

Drunch: brunch with too much liquor -by ‘no name’

Graybicle: Cubicle with no view -by ‘no name’

and the winner was:

I think I like 'HANGRY' the best. I know tons of people that get HANGRY!

Made up Words


So Chicago hosted an Open Mic for New Words. You had to Say the word you came up with and give a definition and basically defend it once they questioned you. That got me to thinking about words that I would invent.

How about:

igduas = ignorant dumb ass
I guess that would be too hard to say so maybe it wouldn’t be that popular for anybody but me. 'Purple Dino-SOUR you igduas!'

noxopik = obnoxious pickle
Sounds good but when would you use it in a sentence? ‘John Boy broke my lamp, he is such a noxopik!’

jabammello = jabber motor mouth-HELLO- someone who won’t stop talking and you’re trying to get their attention 'Jabammello! Thank goodness, I thought you'd never shut up!'

logic = yeah, I know this one exists but people don’t put it to use!

You know what…?

I’m mean! :o)
