Joan at Daddy’s Roses has a contest going on to create words . . . well, I’ll let her tell you:
According to a couple of questionable sources the Washington Post hosts an annual contest asking its readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting,or changing only one letter, and then supply a new definition. This contest has been referred to as The Mensa Invitational.
You can visit Daddy’s Roses to see the examples that Joan has provided. Here are my contributions:
bivocal - The ability to talk and blog at the same time
sobnoxious - an adjective describing someone who cries so much it’s annoying
bamboobled - what happens when men are tricked as a result of being distracted by large-breasted womenÂ
debilicake - to be sick from eating too much pastry

Very simply, political correctness is censorship by intimidation.Â

(1) I’ve been feeling rather yukky since Friday. The whole stomach upset thing which resulted in an experience I’ve never had before and hope I never have again. I’ll spare you the details. Suffice it to say at 4:30 yesterday morning I was scrubbing the floor and walls, and one load of laundry has gone through the hot water cycle three times. And I still feel bad - got a horrible headache.
(2) I tried cross-posting at Blue Star Chronicles while Beth was out of town. I couldn’t get it to work. Sorry, Beth. Everybody, please click over there and visit her so her site meter won’t plummet too far because of lack of new reading material. She’ll be back this afternoon.
(3) My mother wrote a wonderful post about Liberty in Law - Christianity and America. VERY much worth reading.
(4) “Immigration protest” is a misnomer. What’s going on is illegal aliens - i.e. people who have deliberately broken the law and disrespected the United States - are asking for special favors to continue doing so. It has nothing to do with immigration.
(5) I’m looking forward to seeing Sunshine graduate from water survival class on Tuesday.
(6) I bought another gallon of strawberries from someone who was selling them by the road. He said he had just picked them that morning. I made more strawberry jam. It’s delicious - although with my aforementioned stomach ailments, I’ve only eaten a little of it!
(7) I had my nails done on Thursday. Yesterday I broke a nail. That fits in with the general way the past few days have been going.Â
