Hi all

I'm not back. I'm Bulgaria at the black sea coast. It's just still too hot to sleep and the hostel has free internet. I'll be back in about a week and a half. I'm just doing a quick catchup on the news.

....Back to curious wordage

I do find the way you guys say ''My bad'' rather cute and child like, (endearing even) LOL ...NO,NO!!! NOT something we Brits would ever say!!

We would waffle on ''Terribly sorry and all that , my mistake'' ..blah, blah ...and there YOU have summed it up concisely in two words PERFECT!!!

[tom]

I do find the way you guys say ''My bad'' rather cute and child like,

LMAO! But "childlike"????

In the future such economy of words will be lauded as communicatively ADVANCED!!

LOL :lol:

You fans of extra letters may extrapolatively devolve further into superfluous syllables, wourds, phrases, phragments and sentences, into oblivion and beYONNNND!!!!!!

<glad last night's A.E. (Algernon Effect) worries were for naught>

[nikki-uk]

LMAO! But "childlike"????

As in angry father saying to small child

Did you do that????

Small child with bottom lip poking out - nodding

My bad

[tom]

Yay a new post!!!

Open Original Shared Link

Ahhhh the dreaded Algernon Effect.

I've been meaning to post about it in OMG but what I wrote got so off-track & extremely lengthy I didn't want to post it.

Short version is that it refers to the book "Flowers for Algernon" and the resulting movie "Charly".

[Edited for seriousness - long version @OMG thread]

Nice work Tom

It's almost as if no-one noticed my EVIL plan to bring back American/English back to Anglo Saxon (SSHHH!!!)

Ahhhh the dreaded Algernon Effect.

Believe it or not - I think I ACTUALLY understand what you're saying!!! (hubby's been there a few times too )

"thank u sir! may i have another! (paragraph, that is)

(Oh plz, as if anyone believed *I* had a "short version" !! )

Nikki- Love the new pic! handsome couple indeed!

Tom- Algernon effect It's tough! I think there's actually a medical term for it

OK- must keep laughing so on with the jokes- courtesy of Uncle ray:

Never leave your nuts alone

A doctor at an insane asylum decided to take his patients

to a baseball game.

For weeks in advance, he coached his patients to respond to his commands.

When the day of the game arrived. Everything went quite well.

As the National Anthem started, the doctor yelled,

"Up Nuts", and the patients complied by standing up.

After the anthem, he yelled, "Down Nuts", and they all sat back down in their seats.

After a home run was hit, the doctor yelled, "Cheer Nuts". They all broke out into applause and cheered.

When the umpire made a particularly bad call against the star of the home team,

the Doctor yelled, "Booooo Nuts" and they all started booing and cat calling.

Comfortable with their response, the doctor decided to go get a beer and a hot dog,

leaving his assistant in charge.

When he returned, there was a riot in progress. Finding his tizzied assistant,

the doctor asked, "What in the world happened?"

The assistant replied,

"Well everything was going just fine until this guy walked by and yelled,

"PEANUTS!"

[AndreaB]

"PEANUTS!"

Tee Hee

I'll have to remember to read this to hubby. He loves baseball.

[jerseyangel]

Funny Bev--I'm emailing that to Mark.

....and Tom,....going by time differences an all that ...you clearly need to SLEEP MORE!!!!!!

My dad just sent me this:

An elderly couple was attending church services. About halfway through she leans over and says to her husband,

"I just let out a silent fart. What do you think I should do?"

He replies "Put a new battery in your hearing aid."

[TriticusToxicum]

You've probably all seen Open Original Shared Link already, but it's still funny!

My MIL would benefit from a hearing aid...

Thank you all on the avatar compliments (blushing here)....I was maybe a tad tipsy

Susan, I much prefer the interpretive dance avatar

<------ I always thought this guy looked more nonplussed than vapid?

I always thought he looked like he was a bit too far from the nearest powder room when "that feeling" came on

Does she ignore yours, too, or just hers?

[nikki-uk]

I always thought he looked like he was a bit too far from the nearest powder room when "that feeling" came on

...or maybe he thought it was wind but had follow through
