She won't have time for revenge, she'll be too busy turning her jail cell into an indoor cornicopia garden.

"indoor cornicopia [sic] garden"? pray tell, what's that?
Posted by: lg | March 06, 2004 at 06:58 PM
Cornicopia is a plant (flower?) I was just alluding to the fact that she's going to be in a jail cell without her precious amenities from home.

Whatever, I just meant that it is a type of decoration...that she'll be in a jail cell without any decorations.

I like the way you keep your commenters on their toes, boogs. ;)

this specific person has taken grave efforts to annoy me so i felt justified in my, well, pedantry. you could say i have a cornucopia of corrections JUST waiting for this commentor. if i don't block the IP address first.

It sounds like the be-heckled commenter meant to use the word potpourri. That word seems much more cromulent than conucopia.

sorry... cromu-what-now?
Posted by: lg | March 09, 2004 at 07:43 PM
cromulent -- look it up
Posted by: ak | March 09, 2004 at 08:35 PM
i did, my friend, i did. i'm no chartographer*, but let me try and figure out what you meant:
corpulent?
opulent?
Corpulent + opulent + "M" = cromulent?
i apologise if i'm being snarky. my stomach's been upset for days. it's making me cranky. everyone SHOULD make up words, in fact, i'm going to start doing it moften. (more often)
*Chartography (n.) the art of making up words. christened by my friend edamame during an intense car game of G-H-O-S-T.

aw shiiiiizzzz. you schooled me on a Simspons reference. excellent.

I use that word at work a lot. I work for a thinktank (name withheld to protect the innocent as well as guilty) and throw 'cromulent' out a bunch in discussions. Of course everyone here is too smart to ever ask me what it means.
Posted by: ak | March 10, 2004 at 01:17 PM
seee... that could be backfiring on you. since it's not *really* a word, the peeps you work with could just be too nice to embarrass you with a correction.
Posted by: lg | March 10, 2004 at 01:23 PM
you make a cromulent point -- i'll keep in mind
Posted by: ak | March 10, 2004 at 01:29 PM
Then again, maybe it's backfiring on YOU.

aaaaaand you've lost me.
Posted by: lg | March 11, 2004 at 08:01 AM
aaaaaaaand you have serious issues
