Happy boxing day! It's now the time to finish the leftovers, break in or rewrap for later your gifts, and see how long you can go without cleaning the pine needles off the floor before they decompose or get swept up by the obsessive-compulsive guests at your new year's party. I hope that you enjoyed your boxing day as much as I did. I also hope that you enjoyed your boxing day as much as I enjoyed my boxing day, which was quite a bunch more. I didn't do any boxing of ether kind. Anyway, I don't have anything else to say, so inflammable and flammable mean the same thing and famous and infamous are similar, but not opposites.
Let's invite some obsessive-compulsive guests and see if they will clean up the place for us.
ReplyDeleteHappy Boggsing Day!
We could use a few of those around here ourselves. Not for pine needles—we didn't have a tree—but because you'd be hard pressed to find a horizontal surface around here that didn't have bits of straw and hay all over it. I can't decide if I'm living in a shambles of a house, or an exceptionally well-appointed barn.
DeleteI'd say that you lived in the most superb barn, as if you do, there is no need to clean or improve. As such, I officially claim my residence in the most luxurious catbox since Eribor crumbled into shantyvillness. Despite that, I'm still expected to clean it somewhat. With your vast and unfinite knowledge of Tolkien literature, you should know exactly what Eribor is and was.
DeleteWise words, mate. Barn it is.
DeleteThe day I was informed that "flammable" and "inflammable" mean the same thing—by Cool Papa, I believe—I was scandalized. "But... but... but..."
ReplyDeleteInteresting comparison to "famous" and "infamous"! I guess you have to be famous to be infamous, but not vice versa.
Then there's "intelligent," to which there's no corresponding word "telligent" whatsoever.
My donkey head is starting to hurt. HAAAAAAAWWWWW! There, that cleared it up! —Oh, and I'm glad you enjoyed my Boxing Day at least a little, if less than your own. Second-hand holidays are never as good, somehow.
Thanks you too much!
