Love the list of place names you posted, Marc. (http://www.list-directory.info/lists/place-names.html)

"Did you say you lived in Bong Bong?"

"No, mate, I'm from Grong Grong."

"Oh. That's not too far from Gooloogong and Goonoo Goonoo."

I'm listening to the Lost in Space theme as it plays monotonously in my head.

When I get unwelcome songs stuck in my head, I start singing,

"Karma karma karma chameleon... you come and go... you come and go-oh-oh-oh..."

... and the intruder song runs screaming.

Of course, then I have Karma Chameleon stuck in my head, but hey, everything has its price

I have similar conversations all the time...

"So, where you from?"

"Walla Walla, originally."

"Where's that?"

"Near Wagga Wagga."

"No, seriously."

"Seriously, near Wagga Wagga."

"Oh, yeah, and just down the road is Grong Grong?"

"Umm, well, yeah."

"No, seriously..."

"Fine. Forget Walla Walla. I was born in Wodonga."

"Wodonga? You made that up!"

"Oh, FFS! Stop asking me stupid questions and buy a roadmap!"

There's a small town in the UK called Ware. Which, naturally, leads to similar conversations:

"Where are you from?"
"Ware"
"Yeah, where are you from?"
"Ware"
"are you from? Where are you from?"
"I keep telling you - Ware"
And so on.

See, this is where custom tshirts would be handy...

That reminds me of the old Abbott and Costello Skit:

I am, like pshwynkies, feeling particularly overwhelmed with w***. Some days life is just too hard. I think I'm knocking off an hour or so early today and go home to have a bowl of Vcat's creamy leek and potato soup (delish!) and then curl up with a teddy bear and take a little nap.

badgoodDeb · 09-24-2009, 04:15 PM

Or curl up with a puppy dog. Equally satisfying (if not more so!). Did we get the recipe for that soup??

Wetdogeared · 09-24-2009, 04:39 PM

I'm glad my UPS system worked just like it was supposed to. What am I going to do when the power goes out for an hour? Read on my PRS-700 with built-in light of course.

*sigh* if it makes you feel any better, i too am feeling particularly overwhelmed with w***. and i'm thinking lentil soupe sounds good for dinner, but alas i didn't have time to go to the grocery store, so it will be my habitual recipe, not yours.

(next time.)

thank god for liseuses with built-in lights ! i'm going to keep my 700 for emergencies as well.

badgoodDeb · 09-24-2009, 05:38 PM

Has anybody tried their liseuse by candle light? I have plenty of candles, for such emergencies. I guess I should try reading by candlelight tonight ... just so I know!

Make sure it is a romance novel.

badgoodDeb · 09-24-2009, 05:49 PM

I'm thinking a horror novel would be a Real Bad Idea! with no lights but a candle..... or two or three or ten.
