You would just have to go there, in 1968 there was a TV show called Rowan and Martins Laugh-in, there were two regulars characters named Tyrone F. Horneigh and Gladys Ormphby and one of their skits went like this...

Tyrone F. Horneigh: Do you believe in the hereafter?
Gladys Ormphby: Of course I do.

When ever I visit a site (news or whatnot) that asks me for my e-mail address to put on it's mailing list and says it keeps all addresses fully confidential I almost laugh out loud.

restricted

I simply detest searching and finding a parking spot and then find the sign "restricted parking". wacko.gif

Hi Neonwave and welcome to BleepingComputer.

A friend of mine was recently diagnosed with xanthosis, this disease causes the skin to turn yellow which does get the attention of others when he goes out in public.



festooned

I detest the commercialization of what were formerly religious holidays as now they seem more of a time to see shopping malls festooned and all in the name of money.

derogatory
dc3
It would be nice to listen to a political debate without having to listen to the derogatory lambasting which usually takes place.



lambasting
georgia
It is tragic that in today's present society that there continues to be the act of lambasting of people and the reasons given are unconscionable while the media seems to enjoy dwelling on it for days, personally I find these acts both unacceptable; as nothing gets really accomplished.

jursiprudence
dc3
Did you mean Jurisprudence?
georgia
typo, yes

(regular players usually pick up on that!! wink.gif )
dc3
Regular players like yourself should realize that when a question like this is asked you may want to pickup a dictionary to see if perhaps the other member knows something that you don't! Just for your edification...the "typo" actually is an obscure term of racial law.



Jurisprudence went out the window when O J Simpson was not convicted for murder.

I can remember my grandmother saying poppycock to some of the excuses I would try out on her as a child, I later figured out that this meant horse pucky.

Getting some personal business attended to will make it easy for me to unencumber myself from the worries of recent days.






metalliferous tongue.gif

In the seventeenth century one of my relatives declined a request to help fund a metalliferous mine in Nevada because it didn't look promising, this mine was the Comstock lode.
