QotD: I like to think that I have a fairly broad vocabulary, and I do like to use big words from time to time. But, I also also enjoy cussing like a sailor in appropriate company as well. I'm well rounded (mostly in the tummy, butt and thighs and
not in the vocabulary, lately).
I have a friend at work who likes to flaunt her vocabulary every chance she gets. There have been meetings where all attendees wished they had their huge copy of the Oxford English dictionary. She takes it too far sometimes and it gets a bit annoying.
My day at work was busy. We have 4 more temps starting tomorrow, for a total of 12 in a 3 week span + 1 full time employee and one contractor who will be our department's Project Manager through the end of the year. I'm in charge of getting them set up for training, making sure all of their systems work and checking to see if they have the right access to stuff. It's been hectic because
of course they don't have what they need and their access isn't right! Oh IT department, when will you get it right?
When I came home, our 2 year old was napping and our (almost) 5 year old was playing his DS in bed. They both have coughs and sniffles, but were in good spirits once they got up and came down stairs.
We'll see what tomorrow brings. I'm hoping for good news on the Phil's employment front. I'm leaving work at 2 so he can be to his meeting with the bosses by 3ish.

QOTD: Yes, and to the second question, as much as I can get away with.
Back brain's still working up a charivari song for Mrs. Rabid.
[i]The Oregonian[/i] November 4, 1904 wrote:In a statement to Attorney Fitzgerald, Judge Hogue stated that a man and a woman have a right to get married without interference from a gang of hoodlums, and that they were entitled to the protection of the police.
"It is high time that the barbaric custom of the charivari, as for years conducted by hoodlums, shall be broken," said the Judge.
I like words.

Good luck, Rabid.
As for vocabulary, I think it's good but I don't focus on it. However I also speak bits or more of 5 different languages now, so that should expand my vocabulary a bit

On topic. This thread reminds me a little of the whole Dennis Miller and his NFL commentator days. (which I loved) I think HE flaunted it a little too hard though...and combined with his obscure analogies he would lose the average football viewer. (as well as the more cultured ones as well) I loved that he made football a little smarter but ultimately we need our John Madden's in place.

Balls, John Madden's balls in place.
OK so oops, that apostrophe was too much. I just meant for it to be plural not possessive. Thanks for helping me look dumb! I can appreciate that.
I'm leaving it like that so as to show off my idiocy. Ah, don't we all feel just a little bit better, a little more human?
(whats worse is that I see that correction on Fark all the time)

Anyone else see a pattern? (or at least the beginnings of an Abbott and Costello-esque comedy duo?)

Could that also be interpreted as the past tense usage of the word sling? Double entendre?

No, he's just slinging the slang.

I thought "bed flute" was the more commonly used term.
Still - its a fine list all the same. Other suggestions may have been:
