Unconscious Mutterings

Many pardons. My mutterer is a bit slow this week:

I say ... And you think:

1. Quirk :: Oddity

2. Crystal :: Ball

3. Pet Peeve :: Irksome trait

4. Cuban : : Cigars

5. Breasts :: Got 'em

6. Whispers :: Secrets

7. Complicated :: Hard

8. Promise Me :: Oh

9. Murder :: Crime

10. Filament :: Light bulb


Not bad. I've never had a Cuban Cigar. Heck, I've never had any cigar. Come to think of it, I've never had a Cuban, either. I have been sitting here trying to think of a pet peeve, and aside from students not showing up (the only reason I'm typing this today), my biggest pet peeve is a peeve about my pets, which would be why oh why oh why do they save up their biggest, stinkiest poop for the nanosecond after I present them with a clean litter pan?

Just wondering....

This must be a universal kittyism. We figure that Dom pinches his cheeks together until we clean his litterbox. E-vil!

Umm...you think your animals are gross??

Just be glad you don't have a dog who thinks the cat box is an endless supply of doggy treats! Ours is electric...he runs in as soon as he hears the sound of the machine and tries to grab the "treat" before it disappears!

it's the same principle whereby infants are nauseated at the smell of clean laundry, esp. shirts. Nice shirts, donned for church or other "can't have baby spew on me" occasions.

Hey, are you now sponsored? my validation word is PEPCO! IT'S THE BRAND I LOVE!
