Dictionary.com, I Need You!

Dictionary.com is perhaps my best friend online when I'm studying. We converse often. Sometimes I know what a word means, but I look up it anyway just to be sure. Sometimes I don't know what a word means (i.e. latitudinarianism), and I then fantasize about the appropriate wood shed and torture devices for the inventors of these obnoxious words.

One time I was playing pictionary and yes, I confess that upon reading the word "splice" I mistakenly drew "slice" (it was a very artistic interpretation). And by some fluke my team guessed it and continued to advance.

Another time I had to draw a beaver and it looked like this:



I thought the teeth would be a dead give-away. I explicitly warned my team before I started drawing, "Be fast, people. This one's going to be easy!" The tree in the corner was strictly bonus, but to no avail. Everyone thought it was Satan....in the form of a cat.

I guess my next entry over at dictionary.com should be beaver followed by satan. Apparently I don't know what either of these two words mean.

oh how you give me the giggles.

I so hope I get to move closer to you. What a shame I missed out on your style and barrels of laughter before you moved.

You should practice your MS Paint drawing. Alot of practice.

That reminds me of when I was playing Taboo with a roommate--her word was reservoir, she started off talking about where Indians live, and we still ended up getting the point!

I chuckle about that beaver often. That was quite possibly the funniest night in the last two years. When I saw the picture again I laughed out loud. You rock! Tracy and I love spending time with you and Bruce for things just like this beaver.
