2010 Update: An economical race that grows smaller than the rest of its species. An individual smaller than the rest of its race may be known as a RUNT, BIGFELLA or GOSSIP.

ReplyDeleteOops, watch it, Doug. A blogger, Marie Claire, has gotten into trouble (with the news) for posting her disdain for 'heavy people.'
ReplyDeleteI do sort of remember an old movie where a major line was, "Runt, runt, runt." "Sort of" means that is all I remember. [Google didn't help me much here.]

To continue the first paragraph, Harry Smith, Co-Anchor, The Early Show, went on to say that a lot of bloggers are 'snarky.' That remark has put him on my bad list.
..
BTW, a lot of Facebooker's ARE 'snarky.'
I won't name any.

ReplyDeleteNo Ariel. It's not yick. It's yep.
ReplyDeletefalinate: overcompensate for too few comments left yesterday.
Okay, but Karen, did you notice that it was also the first butternut squash pie I had eaten?
ReplyDelete"... Mary Lou had made and brought the most delicious butternut squash pie I have eaten. Well, it was the first one also but it was really good."
Karen Gilda, did I hear a "Never mind?"

I don't know about butternut squash pie but I think I've met me some pygmy's
ReplyDeleteI know Randy Newman wrote a song about them.
ReplyDeleteThey got little hands
Little eyes
They walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet
Well, I don't want no short people

PIGMY: Guy with Napoleon syndrome.
ReplyDeleteI thought today's word had something to do with that whole bag of Halloween candy I just ate ....
ReplyDeleteKaren, collectively they might be known as "some guy."
ReplyDeleteJim, I'm pretty trouble-free but thanks for the caution.
Haha, Ariel. Possibly a bad combination.
Karen, you're catching up fast.
Jim, that's good evidence. I can tell you were a lawyer.
Pia, South Carolina's a good place to find 'em.
Cooper, I remember that song. I think I was in the fourth grade and it felt good to laugh at other little people.
TLP, some titans have it too.
Enjoy, Quilly.
