OK, you missed one for the "yard sale" thing --

In our state of hippiness, we call them lawn experiences, thank you very much for stopping by. :P

I just don't think you should make me choose between "tallywhacker" and "wangdoodle" because I find them equally enjoyable to say. Both make me giggle like a girl.

Eight minutes!

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to ask about that! My grandmother has this funny little friend who lives down the street. Probably 90 years old and all of about 4'10". She calls eggplants "vegetable eggs," and she is the ONLY person I've ever heard say that. She's a peculiar one. She also calls cantaloupes "mushmelons"--which, it turns out, is somewhat common, but the first time she asked me if I wanted some mushmelon, I thought it was some kind of strange come-on or something.

Holy shit! You think I could pick me up one o' them mood rings at a lawn experience?

Since I'm mildly allergic to melons, I never paid a lot of attention, but when I was a kid there was something called a "musk mellon" in the stores in the summertime.

Is that the same thing or a different beast alltogether?

Not sure. My mom says that there's something called a mushmelon, but it's different from a cantaloupe. But I was just looking around online, and it seems that muskmelons and cantaloupes are the same thing. So I dunno! Maybe there's muskmelon/cantaloupe and then there's mushmelon.

oops, when I said 'on' I ment 'in'...and yeah, I did mean "A dry, often sandy region of little rainfall, extreme temperatures, and sparse vegetation." :)

Hey lady!

It coulda been worse. I could have thrown "tallywang" and "doodlewhacker" in there too. :P

[carocrow.livejournal.com]

I like "skiffpaddle" and "kettlestirrer". Or "mighty, mighty swift action repeating rifle" (bwahahahaha)

I have sure missed you.

Is that what Koko Taylor meant by Wang Dang Doodle? ;)

Earlier today I came up with the word "shitaroon". I guess it's a variation on Bugs Bunny's "What a maroon" or "macaroon".

You forgot:

a.) scooter pie
b.) moon pie

I like rummage sale. Don't use it, but like it.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Damn! I'll have to save that for the next poll.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Howdy, stranger. :P

Good one! Rummage is a very cool word.

[sida-al-hurra.livejournal.com]

Hey, friend : )

Can't help lovin' this sweet land o'mine.

Even if it's full of freaks.

The yard sale/garage sale thing is a pet peeve of mine. Most people call them garage sales around here, but most people tend to set up this sales in their front yards or driveways, although they still put out a big sign that says "garage sale." It's not a garage sale unless you're actually having it in the garage, people!

Yeah, mushmelon I've heard, but not vegetable egg.
