(For those who don’t use MS products [and right now I hate you] QuickCorrect is a MS term.)

It hasn’t even started, and already I’m fearing today.

We really need a good alternative to Monday. However, my fear is whatever we choose to replace Monday, will just become Monday. Kinda the opposite of “A rose by any other names should smell as sweet” (which was disproved by scientists I’d like to point out.) Would a Monday by any other name still be as horrific?

As I’m being crushed at work, you’re getting a bunch of pre-written posts this week. But they’re totally fresh and new for you, so no complaining.

So let’s get this week’s game of word association started, shall we?

I know what the cow says!

Saw “The Rat Pack Is Back” Tuesday night. The actors who impersonated Joey Bishop and Dean Martin were the best. The Frank impersonator was my least favorite–I think Paul Buchanan of The Blue Nile sounds more like Sinatra without trying.

But it was a lot of fun.

So in honor of last night’s show, for today’s game of Word Association, we’ll start off with:

Dean

When I go to the store, I always try to park next to the cart return, and towards the back of the lot. Makes the car easier to find and I get a few extra steps–not to mention the gas saved by not wandering through the lot looking for the “closest space.”

Today, as I was leaving, a woman was loading her groceries into the car directly beside me.

Then she pushes the cart into an empty parking space and leaves it there.

Did I mention that I was parked directly next to the cart return?

How pathetic a human being do you have to be not only to refuse to return your cart, but to do so when it was essentially the same number of steps to put the cart in the return?

Some people.

Friday Michael and I took a short walk on the Rails to Trails in Westover. As we walked past this shop Michael noticed one of the posters on the wall.

You may have to go to the large view in Flickr to see it clearly, but obviously, vampires don’t stand a chance in Morgantown.

It’s Wednesday, that means it’s time for another game of Word Association, since the last game has tapered off.

And if you hang around and don’t normally play word association, this is your formal invitation to join in.

Today’s word:

saucer

Temperatures are in the mid to low 50s. It’s raining.

I suggest we cancel the remainder of the day and all go back bed.

I’ve got nothing. I’ve got less than nothing.

Have a game of word association.

And today we’ll start with…

pudding

(more…)

Everyone feel free to join in.

I skipped the gimme of “cow” since that might take this game in a somewhat obscene direction.

Ready?
