There's this little grocery store near my house (it says "grocery" but they mostly just have chips and cigarettes). They have a limo too. I don't know why. Today the limo was parked in front of the mailbox, which has a sign by it that reads: Do Not Park Near Mailbox. Not as funny as the "panda" but still. The absurdity of it all made me happy. <br /><br />Sarah, glad you know your Home Alone quotage! :) The movie should inspire you to live alone! If Harry and Marv come knocking, all you have to do is scatter about your micro machines, branding irons, etc. :) <br /><br />JBJ, my brother and I are opposites in many ways. I am often surprised we were raised in the same home ... fortunately, we both have the same weird sense of humor. <br /><br />That's four for puh-con!Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15847715247476489743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157829453707942005.post-41509560861988815482009-08-08T14:04:49.526-04:002009-08-08T14:04:49.526-04:00It's puh-cons all the way.

Home Alone was THE movie of my childhood. It's why I'm still scared to live alone!<br />I say pecan like pee-can, but it wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong. <br />Also, face in armpit?

I'm partial to puh-kahn myself. There was only one pronunciation for poop. If you go to the website, you can click on a link to hear the words spoken, and because I'm like, twelve, I think it's hilarious. Also, I'm working on getting a picture of the "panda" garden logo for you!morecaffeinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157829453707942005.post-74371532476874227442009-08-06T14:46:08.373-04:002009-08-06T14:46:08.373-04:00Ashley, I liked "Ripp'd". Hey yo! :)...Ashley, I liked "Ripp'd". Hey yo! :) I'll send the site along to Chase because it does look like something he would like. Now that we watch "How I Met Your Mother" we've added those quotes to the mix :) It's nice to know you're with me on the armpit thing. I just can't picture it as sweet. <br /><br />Jessica, pee-con is a cool compromise! Peekin is cute :) Pee-can sounds like a bird, don't you think? Like the bird that was on Fruit Loops?<br /><br />Kristin, your vote is noted. I guess pee-con isn't as southern as I thought:) <br /><br />Are you reading this Chase? Becuase the consensus is that there are many ways to pronounce pecan! Which means I am not wrong (even though I'm still not technically right...) :)Nataliehttp://hope-like-feathers.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157829453707942005.post-38523830704751738852009-08-06T11:07:36.084-04:002009-08-06T11:07:36.084-04:00I live in Virginia, and most people around here sa...I live in Virginia, and most people around here say it like Jessica does..."pee-con."

I say, "pee-con." Someone I knew from Virgina pronounced it like Chase, but slightly faster so it was more like "peekin'."Jessica W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13346907257802513699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157829453707942005.post-91268901391862322012009-08-06T00:56:19.023-04:002009-08-06T00:56:19.023-04:00If you got Kelly Rippa armes, you'd be Ripp...If you got Kelly Rippa armes, you'd be Ripp'd! Heh. Get it? I like to make really lame jokes and then go ahead and laugh at them because I already know that I'm the only one who thinks they're funny. I like to think that my comfortability in my lameness makes me cool.<br /><br />I read something recently where sticking one's head in a guy's armpit was supposed to be romantic. All I wantd to do after reading it was scrub my face forever. It sounded totally gross to me! Stick to smelling his shoulder. Or even just use the word "underarm" or something. Nothing remotely romantic involves the word "armpit." Period.<br /><br />I pronounce pecan the same way you do, but I do believe both are correct. "But that's debatable. There are basically two schools of thought."<br /><br />This comic was once on a t-shirt. I think Chase would really like this website if he hasn't already discovered it.<br />http://www.toothpastefordinner.com/070505/movie-quote.gif<br /><br />Whenever I see people rubbing their fingers together referencing money, I have to resist the urge to hand them some gum.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06679366486721110678noreply@blogger.com
