Farts and Stuff/ Words on Wednesday

Last night we played a game of Trivial Pursuits with the Parental Units....One of the units was in the kitchen pouring some tea and let loose with a fart......A loud One..Now this was unusual as this Unit was not the one we normally see farting across the room with every step...attempting that quick get away and tooting like a train leaving the station.

This is where we stood at the edge of discovery. I suggested that our beloved unit in the kitchen had not really farted . I blamed the Unit sitting at the table. I maintained the "Table Unit" had become such a "Prolific Farter" or you might say "Fartolific" that he had refined his craft and become A "Fartriloquist" the ability to project his farts in order to shift the blame on someone else....

Oh, we laughed and we thought for a bit that a new word had been discovered.

But alas, today I found it in the Urban Dictionary:

The art of projecting one's gaseous emission so that it seems to come from another source, as from a pet dog, grandmother or goldfish.

Bob's quite a fartriloquist, he'd rather die than admit being responsible for stinking out the place.

Maybe they will give us credit for a secondary definition....

For a golden moment we believed we were part of the Etymology of the English language..however, and more importantly, we shared a truly funny family moment and a good belly laugh to boot..what came later is for another day...but I'll tell you this much.

We're never gonna let Anne Marie forget it....!!



I found another great source of "New Words" at Word Mint and the first word they had listed was :

Gassassination

Meaning: What the guy sitting next to you, does to you, when he farts. Usually not fatal, although it is known to knock a few unconscious.

Pronunciation: Gassa-see-nay-shun

Usage: With the recent spotlight on the use of various torture techniques by interrogators at Guantanamo Bay, authorities are seriously looking at gassasination techniques. Interrogators are being encouraged to eat exotic food.
Root: Gas +assassination

Have you got any New Words out there...if so use them when you comment and I'll put them in next Wednesday's post and give you all the credit!!

Britney, Daytona, Bunnies and Cambodia

I went out on a limb with Toyota's cars in the Daytona 500. The best finish for them was 22nd in a car driven by the Veteran Dale Jarrett I'm sticking with the Toyota Teams this year and while I still find it difficult to watch and entire race on TV, it's more exciting than Golf. But enough with racing...lets move on.

In an attempt to draw attention to my potential run for the Presidency this year, I am planning to take a page out of Britney Spears recent HEADlines.....With all the attention she's getting I'm gonna shave my head too. Then I 'll go on to SPEARhead a new campaign toward eliminating Personal Income and Sales Taxes....I don't know, somehow I think everyone will still be writing about that crazy bitch....

Now some pictures:

NASCAR, Toyota and the Daytona 500 - Blogflux

I've never been much of a race fan but this Sunday Toyota will be the first Japanese automaker to compete in NASCAR's top series. For many race fans having a "Foreign" automaker in the "American Race" is akin to having "Osama Bin Laden" on the ticket for President in 2008. The Rednecks won't like this I'm afraid.

But why?? The Toyota Camry is Made In The USA while the Ford Fusion is made in Mexico. The Chevrolet Monte Carlo and the Dodge Charger are both made in CANADA !!

Die-Hard Nascar fans still aren't happy about having Toyota in NASCAR.

I'm Picking the Toyota Team to win big all year. Keep Americans Employed!

More on the race at USA Today

I've joined up at a site called Blogflux, they have a couple of cool items us bloggers can use and they're free!! I put a Map Stats widget on my sidebar that shows my most recent visitors and you can also make up your own Polls to post on your blog..check them out if you have time.
I Am Not Getting Paid to tell you this, just thought I'd pass it along

I HATE CHAIN MAIL

I have friends and family who send me those horrible "Chain Letters" that you are asked to send to "Your Friends" and then something will happen, A "Miracle", "A Wish" "You'll Find Love or Money" or as I would like to pass on...Your gonna get ME dressed in Chaine Maille carrying a large sword to lop your head off...I don't want ANY more of those in my mailbox!!

Todays was about a kid with cancer and a tumour......the Make A Wish Foundation was allegedly gonna donate 7 Cents for every time the message was sent on....Hello?? How will they know it was sent on...???

The letters are sappy and I don't believe the stories !! Do any of you get these tiresome EMAILS ?

Monday's on TV I have to watch two shows, "HEROES" and "24." Since they are on at the same time I put one on DVR. I watched "HEROES" last night and if you watch the series, then last week you saw the young boy "Micah" discovered his "Power." Micah can go up to any ATM and just get all the cash. ......Pretty Cool.


Now when I sat down to watch last night I was sure that the show would treat Micah just like TV treated Jeannie from the show "I Dream Of Jeannie"

or Samantha from " Bewitched."



In both series the gift that the girls had couldn't be used despite the fact that Darren and Captain Nelson could have had anything they wanted by just asking their girls. Nope their power needed to be hidden.The Capt. and Darren were almost ashamed of it...We didn't get an answer last night about Micah, his mom just got out of jail...but next week I'm sure will see Micah again and I think he'll be treated just like Samantha and Jeannie were.... Me, I'd buy the little guy a little Ski Mask and call it a day......What would you do?
