We all do it: make relatively meaningless conversation just to pass the time.

This time though it has a much greater purpose: to eventually become #1 on the Big Boards! mwahahahaha!

There is no specific idea for this thread, though playing off of the above poster's comment would be cool.

I'll start:

"Good morning"

It reminds me of that "I Love Lucy" episode where Ricky wanted to be able to read bedtime stories to Little Ricky, but Lucy wanted them in English, so she gave him books to practice.  I still remember his "horror" when he found out how many words spelled similarly had completely different pronunciations (i.e. rough & cough)...there were better examples, but naturally now that I need to recall them, I can't.  ::)

The episode where he recited "Little Red Riding Hood" in Spanish, with tidbits of English here and there, was when Lucy insisted he spend time with his son.

The ep where he mispronounced "rough" and "cough" (as "rau" and "coo", respectively) was from the previous season, before Little Ricky was born. That's the one where they hired an English tutor so that their kid would grow up speaking English well.

doesn't he look like he's getting to lapse into a violent trance because of the satanic rock music he's playing on that guitar and suddenly devour those children's heads? or is it just me?

How do you know? Maybe he's just standing in the water because he feels like it. Maybe it's a hot day and he wants to cool off?

Anyone experience slowness 20 minutes ago? ???

Yes, I have been a fan of "I Love Lucy" for a good part of my life now!

I'm up and going to work.

Have a nice day!

how come everyone uses the expression "working like a dog" when i'll be tarred if i've ever seen a dog do a lick of work in my life?

I've been wondering about that too!! Do dogs work the way people do?

May be it's an inuit expression?  I'm sure dogs pulling sleds are working hard!

Carthorses do hard work.

Carthorses do hard work.


So do plow horses.

May be it's an inuit expression?  I'm sure dogs pulling sleds are working hard!

Yes.....but do people pull sleds?

Oh yes, they do. When lugging them uphill!

But still, it's not for the same purpose that dogs pull sleds.

Have a nice day!



You Too. :)

^ I'm having a pretty good day thus far.

My day has been going well.
