I f you read the previous report on the word "Vacuum" then please take the frustration that i know you must feel about that spelling and drag it on over to this report!
Wait for it!...... Colonel.
yeah, this is just uncalled for! The word really sounds nothing at all like how its spelled! I even tried saying it in a few different accents and came up short on all of them. Since when does an "o" sound like an"e", and for the love of Pete how do you get the "r" sound from a letter that does not even sound remotely the close? And the second "o" in the word just happens to be silent? There is no need for it! In fact there is no need for such blatant disregard for common sense! Who does this? Who did this?
My wild guess by the spelling is that the first spelling had something to do with someone who had a high position in a "Colony".
Looks right, for something like that. wait let me go check...
Nope,the term colonel derives from columnella 'small column'. That's Latin.
Well, i'm thinking more and more about starting a lazy protest for words that confuse me or piss me off in some way. It may be the only way to sooth this beast.
I just wish i could figure out who to protest to!

An Old Story
One day, a young boy and his 2 pet ducks were out in the field digging a big hole. of course the ducks couldn't dig so they made some juice and sandwiches for the lunch hour. The lunch hour was a couple hours away and the ducks were almost done with the preperations. Bothered by the fact that the ducks has the easy job and he had the hard one, the boy ordered the ducks to go search for a pink bucket and fill it with deer poop.Of course the ducks can't speak or understand english so they ran off to find a translator ( the ducks were from germany). The boy was content with the silence and was able to concentrate on the digging once again. laughing quietly to himself while pictureing the ducks skipping through the field with their stinky little pink bucket of deer poop.
The ducks contacted an old friend of theirs, Professor Handerson. He was glad to make a few phone calls to see what he could find. He reached a man named Helmut who lived not far from the field where the boy was digging the hole and he said he would be there straight away. The ducks thanked The Professor and hurried off to the field. On the way one of the ducks tripped and fell on a rake. The rake spikes went through his head. This duck died and the other was stricken with grief. it just sat by his friend and cried.
The German English translator arrived at the hole in the field and asked the boy what it was he was trying to say to the ducks. Confused as to why a German English translator had been sent to him the boy put his shovel down for a good think. He thought until the lunch hour and then invited Helmut to join him for juice and sandwiches, as he did not expect the ducks to return.
The hole got dug. the German English translator got fed. One duck died,One duck cried.And an old professor felt useful again.
the end.

Detox
Yes friends, a detox!
Here i am on the brink of day 3! Wow! Impressed? Don't be. It's not a big deal. (not yet anyway)
I feel fine, i eat good and i take my pills and drops and i get headaches and i have hallucinations while doing the dishes that theres a kitty cat in the sink looking up at me through the bubbles, I sit in the van at work and get mad at my fellow employees for sitting in front of me so i can see that little pimple on their neck and start judging their hygiene and how they would have clear skin if they just kept clean and then i picture them taking a shower and i have a very hard time with the image and realize that i've been chewing on my tongue whilst thinking about all this and try to figure out if it's a reaction to the stressful images or if it's just that i'm hungry for more than an apple in the morning and my body is trying to tell me that by chewing on itself.
Having a bit of an issue with the plumbing i think. no poo yet. and i am taking the laxative so... i don't know. I may go buy some prunes. Funny that i haven't pooed yet i lost a Pound in the last 2 days.
I feel great.
It helps that i don't smoke anymore as well. A lot!
K I need sleep.
