Hi Rika! Nothing like a building evacuation on a hot October afternoon to put a glow on this girl's face.

Funny.

I could have sworn CG said there was nothing like building accelerations that put that glow in a lady's forehead!

What? Where has he been hanging OUT to come up with a word like that?

Well, Dexter's Laboratory has a spoof of the Incredible Hulk called "The Infraggable Crunk" :)

In the original post, the letters U and T were in bold in the word OUT.

A subtle message for those in the know.


So, what's the difference between Crunk and Drazy?

( I think I'll define it myself. A crane goes crunk, and drazy is the sound a loon makes ... when it's snoring.)

Hey, why not?

If crunk is crazy drunk -- then drazy is drowsy lazy. (Or would you prefer drunken crazy?)

And a drazy loon is a droon! :)

"...a drazy loon is a droon!"

I need some serious psycho-analysis.

I was trying to follow the logic of these made-up words, and I got here...

"Ques: What do you call a camel with the hiccups? Ans: A smooth ride."

Afternoon!

Another perfect Tahrayzza word
To describe the Ketchup queen
Because she's about as looney
As anyone I've ever seen

She's more rude and disdainful than Leona
And as vulgar as a whore from France
And she plans to play Evita
If we'll just give her a chance

I've wondered if she's just crazy
Stoned on Paxil, or merely drunk
But now I can see that she's a hybrid-
She's actually a crunk

Could it also be a noun to describe a crazy drunk?

Actually, crunk was a real word, until some nutty people got ahold of it....hence the defitition I gave, then the ALTERNATIVE definitions. ;-)

Thank you, Stag.

Crunking is for the masses
but not for subbies
We have sobriety tests.

I think I flunked mine last time, but don't tell Miss Rika!

I do believe I will be your subbie manana. I want rapt attention in class. So sloughing off.

If you want to be Zell Miller and do spit wads, the back of the classroom is filled with them. Let's just try go get some color in them, okay? Maybe a mosaic of spit wads. No one with colds or the flu may use spit wads, though. We don't need an epidemic or pandemic going around our classroom.
