Thanks for the reply, Mymsie. Yeah, a Balderdash word works. I thought of whiplash, for some reason, like a “HUH?!!” on steroids.

There’s the Bill Cosby story about his pastor changing the words in the hymn from “forever more” to “forever now.” “I almost broke my neck,” he relates, “trying to keep up!” Truly a sproing phenork moment for young William.

Ciao

“Sproing” caught my eye. I’m looking for the origin of the expression “sproing phenork.” A female friend of mine used that expression. I think it means to simultaneously spring forward and backward. What do you think?

Everyone is so funny today…the snot just keeps on coming.
“I happily awaited the moment when the chef would sprinkle sugar on my head and blow torch it, creating a sweet, crystalline crust.”
I’m assuming you’re talking about Philosophy? I use their Amazing Grace lotion and purposely bump into strange men hoping they’ll notice I smell like an angel and start treating me like one.
And by stranger I mean my husband, yeah, him.

Oh my God, what a mortification that we didn’t think of that!! Maybe we were high from the fumes? We’re good at critical thinking!

Yes, Kriss is right! You should have put the gas in Lean’s tank and then left the cap off of the can for a min to let the residue evaporate. HURRY!

So after the new lotion, did you get a boil?

Okay – dumb question – but why didn’t you just pour the gas into Lean’s tank?

The Bend The Rules sewing book looks really clever!

And I bet the creme brulee bubble bath is heavenly. I’ve never been to a Sephora store, but we may have to hit the one in Las Vegas next time we go.

(I just bought a bottle of Eucerin Plus intensive repair lotion, because my knees & elbows were getting scaly. It’s working really well so far, but I mix it with a little bit of baby lotion to tone down the greasiness.)
