there is nothing more beautiful than a dork.
there's no duty so much underrated as the duty of being happy. by being happy we sow anonymous benefit upon the world. - robert louis stevenson. as i peruse through the blog and flickr sites belonging to my postcard swap group, there is something definably common amongst us all and that is our love for cupcakes, baking, photography, being crafty and finding beauty in the nature that surrounds us. i am in awe and i must MAKE something soon. holicrackomoly, i think i know what i'm really good at. i will make tonight and post in the morning. okay kiddies, i like to keep my readers on the edge of their seats. that's right, wag your tails for me...

Hey I like your new car. The steering wheel seems a tad big and do you get bugs in your teeth when you drive?

DORK
Word origin of said word is somewhat vulgar.
Sounds like you had a nice holiday. Me too.

"There is nothing more beautiful than a [insert historical definition for "dork" here and see if it weirds you out too]." Is it at a MAX line?
HL
will you for the love of _______ just go ahead and define DORK for me. i'd like to be weirded out please.
and three strikes, you're OUT. just kidding. try again.
so far, on our whiteboard at the office, i put that photo up and said, what should the caption of this pic be and where in the world is natty? so far...
john deer for the 22nd century and blast off!
thanks of the history lesson HL. geez, and my life was quite content before knowing all of this. etymology: it is popularly asserted that the term originated as whalers' occupational slang for the penis of a whale, and by transfer became an anatomical insult, undergoing subsequent generalization and amelioration to its present meaning. the current state of evidence suggests that this is a case of folk etymology[1], as no solid documentation has been advanced for the use of the term in this context. one of the earliest documented uses of the word "dork" is a 1961 publication (referencing 1953), in which the meaning is clearly penis, but with no particular reference to whales[2]. instead, the term may be merely a minced oath variant of "dick", a vulgar term for a human penis. nonetheless, the origin of the whale-reference and its widespread credit remain unexplained, and the claimed derivation is best treated as unconfirmed.
well there you have it. the male penis.
Just goes to show you, be careful what you write . . . or you might make accidental references to private parts.
Quotations.
Congratulations.
A lot.
Grammar is tricky.

08:30 - walk to harbor and catch last of sunset; walk back to b&b; watch Cold Mountain
10:30 - husband arrives

good thing hubby arrived and not a minute after 12. you would have lied about not spending one night apart. xo
okay. i'm leaving downtown Portland for McMenamins Edgefield to play their pitch and putt course. this is sort of a mini golf course with the longest hole being about 85 yards (short).
