Assailing and misspelt. Love!

re Program.
The gram is a metric unit of mass, not of weight.
I loved your definitions. They made me chuckle and today I needed that since I wasn't feeling up to par. Thank you!
Sixpence: I try.....
Ole: Oh, fuck off. 99% of the time it's used to refer to weight. The dictionary defines it as "a metric unit of mass or weight".
Mildred: Always glad to help -- I think we can all use some occasional diversion these days.
These grabbed me from the beginning with ... Adversity then Candidate being a tryst at the chocolate store. Got me to smiling right away. Thank you for the insights and the chuckles, just what I needed.
Wishing you well, my friend! Stay Safe!!
Assailing - very funny to my immature sense of humor.
Contest could also be a requirement to get out of prison.
These are hilarious! Particularly "assailing"(lol) Air Hugs, RO
I loved this so much..very very smart.
Now, now, don't fight over what gram means. While it can be a unit of weight or mass, program is actually an offshoot of AARP, and it promotes the interests of grandmothers. It promotes exercise for grandma (cardiogram), prepaid funeral expenses (cryptogram), Cardi B impersonator's rap music (cardiogram), streaming TV services (cablegram), streaming music (radiogram) and, of course, sweets for the sweet (candygram). They even have a daily program for abuelas (diagram).
Thank you for the mental distraction.
Took me a minute to get "misspelt" but then my one last remaining brain cell kicked in!
That was hysterical - & I needed it!
Dellgirl: Glad to offer some entertainment.
Lady M: It reflects my own immature sense of humor.
Mike: Or a parole hearing.....
RO: :-)
JackieSue: I try.....
Nonnie: I'm stealing some of those, as soon as I figure out how.
Debra: I'm still waiting for someone unfamiliar with non-US spelling to tell me it's misspelt.
Loretta: Thanks! Plenty more where these came from -- this is the 16th set I've done.
Catastrophe: The grand prize for la belle derierre at the cat show.
:-)
Post a Comment
Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogspot account and aren't sure how to comment, please see here. Fair warning -- I reject all comments containing any of the following:
1. Support for transgenderism
2. Negativity about Brexit
3. Support for a military draft or compulsory national service
I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent. And obviously I'm going to delete anything which is just quoting what an "AI" said. I want to hear from you, not from the always-wrong hallucination machine.
No comments advocating violence against any specific identifiable individual, even jokingly.
Please be considerate -- no political or politics-tinged comments on non-political posts, and no performative cynicism. Finally, please remember that this is a personal blog whose main purpose is to encourage contact from people with similar interests and world-views to mine. I really don't much care for arguing and debating; if arguing and debating is what you want, there are plenty of other places on the internet which welcome that.
From now until the finalization of the election results, no comments claiming the Republicans (or Democrats) will or can "steal" the election. It's pointless to engage with such stuff, and it promotes defeatism, which makes people less likely to vote or otherwise be politically active.
