Imagine using that as head protection around my mask while fencing!! Ha! I could chase the people dressed in blue and run away from the other colors...

The expression says - "straight as the crow flies"...
But if you've ever watched a crow fly, they don't fly straight... They're sorta wobbly in flight.
Weird, huh?
Edit:
Adittional thought for the day from a random website signature:
"Shake off all the fears and servile prejudices under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear." -Thomas Jefferson

OK, we briefly talked about words you like on Friday... What about words you don't like? For whatever reason these are some words that just are unpleasant to me...
styrofoam (*shudder*)
supper
smock
irascible
What are some of yours?
(Also, I updated my front page "thought" after listening to Dennis Leary on XM Comedy at lunch - its now:
"Life sucks, get a fuckin' helmet!")

violet_amy has some favorite words (Pappenheimer), well so do I...
I love reading through the "Word of the day" archive over at Dictionary.com
Of course, today "Wingnut!" tops the list but here's some others:
recapitulate
languid
arcane
beer
riparian
militate
So, what are some of your favorite words?

During my drive into work this morning, I remembered a dream I had recently... Enjoy!
*walking across the front of the supermarket aisles*
*passing a group of possible college studuents gathered around and end-cap*
*end-cap of the aisle is selling those cheap aluminum suits of armor*
*over the supermarket loud-speaker (I guess...) comes one word - relatively loudly*
**WINGNUT**
*I look around at the students still staring at the armor*
*I shrug my shoulders and say to myself - "Those kids probably don't even know what a wingnut is..."*
That's it... By my usual standards that is a very tame dream. Most of them are really strange... Next one I have and remember I'll try to post here for your amusement.
Problem is, now I'm walking around work saying "WINGNUT!" Dammit, its stuck in my head!
"WINGNUT!"

Who else thinks that the word Bacon should be capitalized?
Oh, that magnificent animal!
