Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.

However, I do bewieve that Bahbah picked up on it and has subsequentwy asked it in her many pwobing interviews.

C'mon y'all, this is worse than typing like Scooby Doo! And IMNSHO, no one did Baba like Gilda.

[VRWCmember]

no one did Baba like Gilda.

Gilda was the best. Whether she was doing Emily Latella, Baba Wawa, Rosanne Rosannadanna, or the Lubener character she always made me laugh.

[Laura Earl]

I liked her little girl character...wasn't her name Judy? She was always bouncing off the walls in her bedroom in a Brownie uniform.

[TheGrimReaper]

the Lubener character

Poor Gilda suffered an awful lot of noogies in that role...

[secret garden]

What about the Scotch tape character? Omigosh, that was hilarious.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

...we would have been able to type like Scooby-Doo all day, and leave taglines like Baabaa Wawa too, if it wasn't for you meddeling croquettes!

[secret garden]

She was really funny too.
