Now y'all don't make fun a mah paper, heah?
They were the ones who have treated me absolutely lovely while the hoighty-toighty Dallas Morning News wouldn't even acknowledge I had written them. I truly hope to make them sorry some day. I want to be syndicated and when they come begging, I'll say, "you? who are you?? Dallas? Is that near Fort Worth? Well, I don't think you're quite up to my standards." Then I'll get all my friends to call and say, "We like your paper, but we are switching to the Star-Telegram because they have that wonderful columnist."
Dreams of vengeance are so pleasant.
SPeaking of misspelled forts, we were in the Half-Price Book Store last weekend and I saw this book called (oh dear, not sure I can type it without blushing) "Fizzles, Farts and Toots". It had all the different terms ever used anywhere, and a chapter on fizzling in literature (apparently Mark Twain wrote about it, among others) and I thought "OH! I want that!!! WOuldn't that be great to own!!" But I couldn't bring myself to pick it up and actually buy it. WHat would the clerk think of me?
A nice, middle-aged lady buying a book on -fizzling . (I can't use that other word, I just can't).
But I really did want it for my literary research section.. And to post about here. Because I bet it's funny.
Maybe I can get Ammo to go in and buy it for me.
EDIT: THat word showed up in RED!!!!! |
