How to annoy Janna in your spare time

. - 2. Rush Limbaugh. MORE than enough said. 3. Molasses, molasses cookies, and anything else that pretends molasses is edible. 4. Burning plastic. No, really, I didn't need those lungs for anything special. Go ahead and fill them with deadly toxins as if they were a big pair of whoopie cushions. 5. Lint. It's EVERYWHERE! I think it has covert discussions with the dryer's filter when my back is turned. ("Pssst, hey, buddy, if you'll look the other way there's twenty bucks in it for ya.") 6. Bureaucracy and the mindless people who actually adhere to it as if it means anything. 7. How "Worcester" is actually pronounced "Wooster." WTF? Why, people? Are you TRYING TO screw with us? Even worse, the locals tend to say "Woostah" instead. How can you look at the word "Worcester" and say "Woostah"? Have you even HEARD of "Hooked on Phonics"?? 8. Beverages at room temperature 9. Public speaking and the multitude of zombie eyes peering at you from the abyss, waiting for you to screw up so they can then mob you and eat your flesh, fighting over the tasty parts 10. Shoes that hurt my feet... and feet that just go ahead and hurt on their own 11. Cereal that makes a big deal out of having fiber and bran in it. Why not just go ahead and call it "Colon Cleanser Crunch"? 12. Theoretical thermonuclear physics diagrams 13. Things that break when you drop them. (Examples: glass, eggs, ceramic, porcelain, ice sculptures...) . Links to other Thursday Thirteens! 1. http://pointless-drivel.com/jantics/ . . |

Hey you got both your blogs reviewed over at Ah Ok Lah, didn't do too bad.
Well done.
Ah, okay, don't shoot me, but #9 doesn't faze me a bit. In fact, I used to speak and train for a living, so speaking in front of groups (large or small) isn't a big deal for me.
Okay, you can curse me now; just don't shoot me.
Michael: Yes, I see that! Thanks for checking it out. :)
Desert Songbird: Oh, I won't shoot you. Good luck with the zombies, though.
If you can't handle Worcester, don't even try Leicester.
The ice sculptures are less likely to break if you dont cary them around everywhere.
I always pronounce it War-chester. I like to go against the masses.
I don't really like cereal, but Colon Cleansing Crunch sounds like a best seller to me!
Beverages at room temperature are definitely a NO NO!!
What are the things you listed in #13? In my house we have plastic, sponge, styrofoam and bubblewrap.
How "Worcester" is actually pronounced "Wooster." WTF? Why, people? Are you TRYING TO screw with us? Even worse, the locals tend to say "Woostah" instead. How can you look at the word "Worcester" and say "Woostah"? Have you even HEARD of "Hooked on Phonics"??"
Oh No! She Didn't.
We have a Worcester in Massachusetts, you see. Even in Boston we always hear about Worcester and the way, the only way it is pronounced in Massachusetts is Woostah. If the locals call it Woostah it's Woostah to all. If the locals called it War.ses.ter or War.kes.ter then it's called those screeching, absurd pronunciations.
With love
For your birthday I am sending you molasses cookies in a box insulated with lint that you have to go pick up at the post office.
Hooked on fonics is sos youse people can speak proper like.
Us English people have no problem say Woostah.
Edinburgh isn't Edin burg either.
"Edin borough"
go ahead and call it colon cleanser crunch......nice lol
LOL - I love the list Janna. Thanks for sharing. :D
All 13 plus my fatboy XXL beanbag which thought it´s time to burst today. I´m trying to take advantage of this disaster. Millions of mini styrofoam globes cover the tons of lint at my place. *sigh*
I eat molasses with a spoon ;-p
I keep telling you that room temperature at 100 degrees is death for anything.
Now a room temp of ice cold would work pretty well for a beverage, yes?
Mr. Fab: I'm afraid to ask.
Marilyn: Are you sure? Who told you that?
Lynda: Yay for War-Chester!!!! I am with you!
Aisby: Exactly!
Metalmom: I was at my mom's house and I dropped a dish. It broke.
Danielle: If it's pronounced "Woostah", it should be SPELLED Woostah. If it's spelled "Worcester," it needs to be pronounced in a way that reflects that spelling. One important first step would be to make sure both of those "R's" are being pronounced loud and clear!
Natalie: So, you're saying you hate me and wish I was dead?
Michael: You're British. You can pronounce things however you want, and I'll just think it's cute. :)
BD: The "Turbo" version could include dried prune bits!
Angell: Thanks! :)
Sanni: Oh, no!! What a mess! :(
Turnbaby: I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that. :)
Travis: "Ice Cold" sounds WONDERFUL!!! :D
