playing balderdash...
with those lovely word verification things people have on their blogs. Now you all know what I am talking about. You go to make a comment on someone's blog and they require you to identify the letters/numbers that are all wonky and crazy looking, right?
Well every time I do, without fail, I play balderdash in my head. I try and think of what kind of word those letters could possibly make up together and what it could mean. Usually it is something totally and completely random, with absolutely no significance, but today, well, today was different.
Today's word verification holds meaning dear to my heart.
:)
poop∙hyp \ pūp-hīp \ n. 1. excessive publicity of a dirty diaper and the ensuing commotion: the poophyp surrounding the investigation of the dirty diaper.
2. Exaggerated or extravagant claims made, especially by the husband, during the changing of the dirty diaper: It is pure poophyp exactly how stinky he claims the diaper is.
See, and you thought those word verification things were pure annoyance! But no, to the trained eye they can be full of wonderful learning and knowledge. They can provide hours upon hours of joy.
Ah, how my sweet mind has been altered with the presence of a baby.
:)
** On a side note, I never did like that game, balderdash. I could never come up with a clever enough response to have anyone pick mine.

What about clinchpoop, the clinch that poops. If I remember correctly we all voted for that one. Or at least we laughed our butts off at it. Were u there for "more pork"? The sound a certain bird makes? Good times.
Kate, the only reason your name wasn't picked for balderdash was because your face would give it away. You weren't very good at bluffing, so we could just watch your expression. BTW, how do you get that box on your blog. Do you just copy and past it from someplace?
Awesome! I'm so glad someone else is as crazy as me! :) I always try and read the word and figure out a little meaning for it, although I'm embarrassed to say I never even connected that to Balderdash, that's brilliant! Now I'll think of you every time I post a comment!!
That game always just got me in trouble. I always came up with dirty responses, and I'd spend the game blushing as people caught on that those responses came from innocent lil' me. And I'd always lose.
But I love your Balderdash word verification!!
kate! it's your long lost cousin-in-law stephanie.
