Karmann Ghia

Oh, OK, I feel better now. Because I'd never heard of that before. Thank you.

Sadly, though I know I've posted this before, I'm going to repeat it here, because there is, as of yet, no Groundhog Day Thread (discussion of which now belongs in that thread. Weird): my mispronunciation that caused the most stunned stares of disbelief was Chatham, MA. I said, I think, KAY-thum. It's CHAT-um. It was funny.

Hee. OK, so Felton is CA. When I was 19, I went up to Boston for fall break and found the summer beach house my parents lived in and wandered World's End. It was very pretty (height of leaf season.)

Also, my nose has either become super sensitive or I'm over the lowlevel congestion (known as a 3-4 day cold for most. Me, I spend months notsick, but mildly congested.)

It's weird. Suddenly I can smell the slightest odors. Which means grossout when my officemate eats his lunch. Some kinds of tuna and turkey smell a lot like catfood or dogfood when you are not the one consuming them.

I cannot believe that the town of Worcester has not been brought up. Perhaps it's small potatoes compared to other town/city pronounciations, or perhaps it is such a classic conundrum that it is cliche, passe, and generally lost all of its mojo.

Tom and I are watching "Serenity." Man, that show rocks. I haven't seen it since it went off the air.

It's war-chester, right?

I did that last weekend, Nora. Not that ep specifically, but just the....man, this show rocked.

Is it just me, or does Karmen Ghia sound like the second female lead in Ben Affleck's next movie instead of a Volkswagen?

That's eeevil.

So you still have the unaired eps to watch? Lucky.

I'm envisioning a crazy knife-wielding lesbian model who wears fruit on her head.
