Oh, puh-lease....STOP making these lame excuses for the stunatz in
the
White house, eh? You're smarter than he is, and that's not much of
a
compliment!

Bush has no language abilities. If he used Grecian, it was out of
ignorance. Period.


I'm no longer arguing that Bush used the term properly. However, to
imply
that it's a "made up" word, or that it's only an adjective and not a
noun,
is wrong.

I still stand my reasoning that the word was in his head from his
Bible
studies...and not from "a Discovery Channel program about
archeologists
digging up Grecian urns". In the Bible, it is used as a noun to
describe
inhabitants of Greece.





1) I don't have the patience to find out who said it was a made-up
word,
but
it wasn't me.

2) Please write a one-sentence response to a friend who says he's
going
to
a
somnambulist for help with quitting smoking.

A somnambulist? You better check your dictionary. Then you'll get my
one-sentence response.

No thank, NOYB. In the 1800s, a person who attempted to practice hypnotism
(usually at carnivals, alongside the snake oil vendors) was called a
somnambulist because their victims usually fell asleep.

Ohhhhhh. I was wondering why you kept asking me about sleepwalkers.


Please try and remember that I've got about 40 years' more education than
you do.

I'm 33. Are you 73?

Of course, you could be talking "formal education". If you count pre-k and
kindergarten as "formal education", I have 22 years of "formal education".
Assuming you started pre-k at age 4, you'd need to be 66 years old to have
40 more years of education.


Now, back to my question about your friend who's quitting
smoking....


I'd ask him why he doesn't try Zyban and Nicoderm instead.
