Zinnia – yes, I can see how you might have to develop a yen for zig zags…

Angie – yay, I’m coming to read it now.

I borrowed your meme. Yours was too fun. I love the word nitwittery, don’t know why.

Yakking, oh yes, me too. Yak yakkety yak yak yak. Blogging is just another form of yakking – discuss. At great length, if you’re me.

I may well take up your kind offer of a tag for next week’s post, as my brain has also drained. Z is a bit of a challenge, though.

Carol – I’m sorry but that sounds horrible! Baked beans are the devil’s work – they’re all furry and little, like eating little hamsters’ feet

Rebecca – “All gone” – brilliant. That really made me laugh. Uncontrollable lust… hmmm… nah. Sigh.

hmm – nitwittery – I’m quite partial to a bit of that.

And since when did blokes want girls to be “all there” for a shag? Hmmm – Aussie blokes seem to prefer it if you’re “all gone” or alseep.* Methinks he was trying to disguise his uncontrollable lust for you!

* this is a joke. kinda!

I love eggs too – my fav is baked bean omelet (Is that how you spell it – I now think the word looks funny and have no idea how it’s spelt any more) so when you cut into it all the beans spill out – yummy!!!

I don’t want to waste eggs throwing them at that baboon – can we throw tomatoes instead…..I’m not keen on them!!

Helen – I didn’t know that… no wonder I’ve got no friends!

Kate – are you mocking my eggs-istential crisis?

Karen – I hadn’t thought of it that way. Perhaps it’s an accent thing too? Remember when Helen Baxendale was in Friends? She sounded completely barmy though I’m sure she wasn’t ‘egging up’ the whole British thing. Might steer well clear of American guys though. Especially if they think I’m a psycho…

I love the way our two versions of English are so different, somehow, English English always seems to sound more polite than American English. I’m thinking mostly of the �She�s just not really all there, is she?� said Anonymous Bloke. �I mean, you�d want to look after her, not shag her.� which really sounds like he might be sweet with the whole “look after her” part of the comment. Now, translated into American English that sentence he would’ve said, “That woman is psycho! I mean, you’d want to have her committed, not lay her, unless she was really hot or something.” Which really is all that needs to be said about American men, really.

Just had my two poached eggs on rye this morning. I’m a bit worried about Lane’s comment re smelling of sulphur though as I eat them every day…oh well, just as well I work from home. x

Hellojed – nah, mine’s permanently mushed. Am blaming on a guy called Jack Daniels this morning…

JJ – how could you say that about eggs? I shall cover their little eggy ears so that they don’t hear you.

Rachel – hurrah, a woman with good taste.

Mya – you are my hero!

Lane – Amazonian? They probably weren’t worthy of you anyway. Fools. We’ll egg them too, yeah?

I am rather partial to the egg too – so versatile. Eat too many though and you begin to smell of sulphur:-(
I really like your list but like Mya I would like to egg that bloke good and proper. When I was young and impressionable I overheard some boys saying they could never go out with me because I was ‘Amazonian’. I am still plotting my revenge.

I’d pelt that anonymous bloke with eggs if I could!

Excellent answers, but eggs … well I feel a bit indifferent to them, really.
