I misremember the sight I found them at. I just remember finding a discussion about how the symbols used on the show weren't quite right for the meaning they were looking for. And that the correct ones were the ones I blew up to make the stencil. Or, something like that. I don't even know if they are Kanji or not, so I'm no help there.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2004: Well, I Wasn't Expecting That.
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2004? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

I'm a horrible slacker and now my present won't go out until after Xmas.
Gremlins keep hiding things from me...

Mine is going out tomorrow, lord willin' and the creek don't rise. It's been very difficult convincing myself it's enough. I'm hoping sending it priority will make it arrive at least early in the week after Christmas.

Sister! Someone else who uses that phrase!

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I love that phrase! It's very useful. Though I say "God" instead of "Lord."

My version's a little longer--"if the Good Lord's willin' and the creek don't rise."

I use "Good Lord willin' and the creek don't rise."

Mostly I say the whole thing like Ginger does, but I suddenly thought it might seem a little... unusual here, so I shortened it.
I say lots of those things, and yesterday I discovered that my accent southernizes when I'm cranky as well as when I'm tired. I hadn't realized.

Now I'm wondering where my family got it, because the farthest south any of my ancestors has ever lived... well, my grandparents lived in Florida during WWII. But otherwise I think New Jersey wins.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
The full version has a better rhythm.
