Yah, see #4045 above. I was just having fun with comorones. But nice work, I didn't find that reference to the birds when I glanced through.

Change a coupla vowels & you get camarones - which are tasty with a little lemon juice & maybe some nice drawn butter. Hmmm ...

Glad no one else was hunrt. The young man's family must be deviated. People in gerneral need to stop driving like idiots, and wear seat belts.
And some people need to stop typing like idiots. They're making me feel deviated, not to mention hunrting my eyes in a gerneral fashion.

Out at golden coral celebrating __'s birthday. She went right to the desert.

From the Relationships forum on CD:

But as I said... none of this really would phase me much. - people really have a hard time believing that "faze" is a real word, don't they?

Maybe she went there looking for enlightenment - like how to cope with a longing for high-calorie sweets? (Or even manna - but I don't know if the stuff is supposed to be sweet or not. Maybe sweet, there's a reference to the taste of honey in the article in Wikipedia.)

Yah, faze - I think I remember English teachers drilling into us that faze wasn't a preferred word. It used to be dialectical, & so it was kinda frowned upon. The kind of stuff you could say, but didn't usually commit to writing.

I have never heard of the word, "faze" not being a preferred word. I was taught that "phase" was never the correct word to use if you were talking about something not bothering you. In fact, my writing teacher was adamant about using it correctly, which is probably why I get so undie bundled about it today! You could say I really get fazed by it! *pulls underpants out of crack*
