Just for fun

You’ve met Dan before, we played a nice game of “Name My Blog” over at his place recently. He’s blogging his way through Shane Claiborne’s “The Irresistible Revolution”. In between posts sharing his thoughts on the book, it looks like he’s having a little fun.

I picked this up, and personally, would’ve bet I was 100% “Dixie”, y’all. Go figure.

What Kind of American English Do You Speak?

And I love his post title today: Gargling, Grace, and Glaciers. Gotta go back and comment on that one….tomorrow.

Looks like today was one for the boys at Pensieve. Tomorrow, I’ll reveal the 1, 2, 3s of yesterday’s post. Only one person was even close, but it sure was fun seeing your imagination at work (my kids loved it 🙂 ).

Clearly (at least to me) my undiagnosed but suspected A.D.D. is kicking in with my blog. I write like I clean house……..Here. There. Stop. Start. It’s a wonder I finish anything :/.

Um… Robin… aren’t you like missing 5% of something??? LOL! You’re only 95% linguistically complete. And forgive the fact that I could even notice something as trivial as that. 😉

Hey! I tried to go and see what kind of American English I speak and the link did not work. So, hook me up! 🙂

Geez-louise…this was supposed to be a SIMPLE post.

Evidently, the masterminds at Blogthings can’t add, Mike…and with my own oversight, I’m qualified to work there. I’d like to think the 5% unaccounted for falls into the d r a w l category. (and welcome!)

The link’s fixed.

Y’all come back, now, ya hear?
