i forgot about it for the earlier post 2 seconds ago

again w/ the word vomit. . . my roommate is taking this history and development of the english language class & she's been teaching me a lot of fun things about how words became words in our englishness. tonight, she was explaining the history behind curse words, like "fokkinge" & "krappe" (you don't have to be a genius to know what words these are). . . anyways, you can imagine how much fun we had w/ these. like, did you know there's a "fuking (pronounced foo-king) india? or nowhere, arizona? flippin, arkansas is also a town! there's the flippin wal-mart, the flippin school, & watch out for those flippin police officers! :)

adding to the list of almost-fatal accidents

5. 4th grade. . . electrocuting myself on the playground by touching a broken light socket. what's w/ the electricity?

6. burning popcorn in the microwave so bad, there was a tar residue! i was 13 & i wasn't aware of the little popcorn button on the microwave

i feel like i'm a walking target for death &/or destruction!

Even better... there's a FLippin, Georgia and Flippin has a dam. I kid you not. It's the Flippin Dam. And I imagine there are some Flippin Dam souveniers there and maybe even some Flippin Dam animals. I could go on all day...

There's also a Chunky, Mississippi. We drove past it one time on a road trip. Good times.
