i love the site. ive been playing with greenville kleisers 15 thousand useful phrases all day and driving gf mad with im and email love sonnets composed of these "useful" phrases. lol. its fun to use a well worn phrase with a decidedly different meaning. its like my own little stash of refrigerator poetry! if you cant find what youre looking for there the online public library has loads of downloadable books too.!

I can't wait to get a gander at that. Tiger Woods is coming back and the only thing my Dad hates more than nonstop current events and political discussion is my walking back and forth in front of a (non rerun) Tiger Woods golf match. I'd love to be armed with some useful phrases to break the monotony of my doomsday messages. lol. I'm on my way up there now. He catches on and he'll add an extension to that people poker he calls a walking stick he hobbles with. Right now he can't reach us while we mess with his view.

Okay, so next time I drift in and out of his precious golf matches I'll translate these to suit the ambience.


bwahhahahah people poker? i love it! lol. that is great. heres some to throw out there when hes kvetching:


Quietude which seemed to him beautiful as clear depths of water

omg dad, you see that? Tiger sank the cue ball in the pond.  (poke)


Restless as a blue-bottle fly on a warm summer's day

What's his names wife is breast feeding the newborn on the back nine. You catch that? (poke, jab, screams "MOVE!")


cessant echoing,
like some dripping cavern

Some uncivilized "himbo" is trying to get Tigers autograph by way of the breastfeeding wife.  Sorry Dad, you missed that?


The common consent of civilized mankind

Well, if there were such a thing they certainly wouldn't be drifting back and forth in front of a golf tournament.

A look threatening and peremptory

Throughout the entire visit. My dad loves his golf. And Tiger Woods.

You know? I think you shared this a long time ago and I "lost" the link, or the pc du jour. Thanks so much for reviving it. btw, I see the print version downloads can be to done fairly simply to a pda and smartphone, and the audio books can be dowloaded in mp3 AND AppleITunes versions. They've really upgraded this site since the last I recall. All of Austens work is available on audio; I just recently paid the applefolk 1.95 for an audio version of Northanger Abbey.  ;(  But now, this. Thanks so much. I'm wondering why the Brontes are so unrepresented, but there's plenty to choose from. Even without a download you can simply run the audio version and sit back and listen to a nice classic. Excellent post!

Ellen Goodman, we needed the Globe to read her. There was no consumer internet, the out of town papers papers were still flown around the country and it was, after all, the Reagan years. Or really the Bush One, One, years. Just worse. Confession of a former Goodman junkie. I would have a book or two of hers around to re-read, but they're in Huntsville. Maybe I'll run to the library, pay them off, and pick up her eighties stuff for a good weekend read in bad times.

Back in the mid eighties "we" would get two papers every Sunday. The Boston Globe and the St. Pete Times. We lived in Tampa. I loved the Globe. I hated having it read aloud to me every freaking week. I haven't read a single edition since she took all our stuff and moved to Huntsville.

re the aliens. it was all in the headline yanno? i see lil wrinkly faced green people. i do think obamas aunt should have been subject to the same rules as anyone elses aunt. im a big believer in the idea that they work for us, not the other way around.

re the globe....two words....bat boy...that lil naked fanged leprechaun of the supermarket wait.

Looks like the gateway to TMZ. Though it does remind me that Auntie Obama is still here, four years after being court instructed to return to Africa. Having spent her years here living off the Boston welfare and housing system. Nobody seems to recall that one gesture that Dubya made to allow for her to go untouched during the campaign. Didn't want to upset the people of color on a hot button issue like Obamas Auntie. I don't know, this story just pissed me off again. The thought of her for four years living off of, ironically, the Boston taxpayer only to end up dancing at an inaugural ball and then moving to the midwest. It stinks. And they counted on us just forgetting about her. I know plenty of decent people who have been denied access to the states. Their families at least. Close the borders? Sure, start with her.
