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?

crocus

We saw some strange things on a walk at the arboretum on Thursday.

I’ve been posting a lot of word association games on Wedesdays, so here’s something different: open thread, talk about whatever the heck you want to talk about.

The sofa (metaphorical or not) is comfy, there’s brownies on the table and Michael has beer in the fridge (Blue Moon, Circus Boy, and three other kinds I’m too lazy to open the fridge and see.)

So make yourself at home (while remaining fully clothed thank you–this isn’t THAT type of place) and maybe someone who doesn’t usually comment will take this as a sign to introduce themselves. If nothing else, once they have, maybe we can get them to play the next game of word association.

How on earth did I end up on a mailing list for a Barbie catalog?

Seriously.

Michelle: (surfing mindlessly)
Woman on Marketplace: …the point at which we all just give up and decide to put our money into canned goods and ammunition.
Michelle: Wait. What?

That’s right. I’m 100% heathen and proud of it!

I got nothing. So that means you get a game of word association.

Today’s word is…

Defiant

I think I’m more geeky than that, but I can accept Nerd.
