The Funniest Word

clarentineI suspect that any time I might be asked to name what I think is the funniest word in the English language, I'm likely to come up with a different candidate. Today's comes courtesy of Best Life magazine:
"Then you have [name redacted, poor guy], a Southern gent raised to be discrete and diligent."
Hee! That almost balanced my annoyance at having to deal with a morning busload of chatty Cathys.

This being Wednesday, and Wednesdays being when Louisiana Flair, a local Cajun restaurant, offers beignets on their menu, I'm planning an excursion before getting down to work. I made orange syrup this weekend that I think will go exquisitely well with the beignets and brought some in today to share.
That's what the Clever Girls and Boys need to invent next: a scratch-n-sniff device you attach to your computer. Then you could share, too!

Yes, I'm still plowing through the tail end of Break. It may break me before we're done. Every once in a while I get a tantalizing hint that the book might have sneaked something really cool in amongst those 483 pages. I can only hope I can find those places, pull back the dross that covers them, and polish them so they can be at their best and most compelling.
Well, I can hope.
