I'm on the reference desk until 2. I'm terrified that someone will ask me something and I'll just look at them funny.

That would be hilarious. "Hold on just one second."

I remember reading a biography/expose of Don King years ago, which included a note about his tendency to make up words--"trickeration" and "insinuendo" are the ones I remember.

In the last 24 hours, I've come up with two words that I think could sit proudly alongside those: "debactacular" (or "debactacle") and "scandalicious."

That is great

in your endo

Pretty sure I've heard scandalicious used a few times.

I love that one too. Deserves to get into general usage.

I miss Drugs Delaney.

I just spent the last 10 minutes attempting to change my windshield wiper blades. And failed. I came inside before someone saw me. I've never felt more useless.

He's barely taller than me, if at all. Applesauce!

How creepy would that banner be w/out any writing on it?

Freaky! I changed my wiper blades tonight. Took me a good 10 minutes to get one done, then once I thought I knew what I was doing I tackled the other. Shall I come fix yours

After way too many 30 minute wiper changing escapades, I have finally come to the following realization:

- Hold the new blade up to the old blade before it has been removed to get a bearing
- After you un "hook" the old blade, don't remove it all the way from the arm- pretend you're putting it back on to see how you would accomplish that
- with the old blade still not completely removed, check the arm to see which (if any) attachments you need on the new blade
-repeat step 1 with the old blade unhooked and still in place
-Know what approach you need to take when inserting the new blade before finally fully removing the old blade.

I actually used my 'new' approach for the first time EVAH last week with my rear wiper blade. 3 minutes tops!!

Michelle and I adopted two guinea pigs, and named them Harry and Whitey. We got them these two beds, and I said to her, "hey honey, Harry just jumped into bed with Whitey."

Then I paused and said, "hey, want to rename the guinea pigs?"
