Timelies all!
Aimee, this:
All this "est" is reminding me of a song from Noggin.
"Jams are the jelliest, rain's the umbrelliest..."
Is in turn reminding me of the Austin Lounge Lizards' song "Stupid Texas Song" which has lines like "Our accents are the drawliest".
I have tomorrow off, and will spend some part of it shopping. I need new slacks(this will not be fun), a new everyday purse and a yoga mat.
Then there are the reverse superlatives, e. g. from Benny Hill:
I call the big dog Meany,
On account o' he's the meanest,
And I call the pup Liberace,
On account o' he's the pianist.
Hey ita, you should pick this up and then play it with Polgara, and the rest of us can watch and laugh.
I'll be in my bunk.

Your families might masturbate together for bonding. Mine doesn't.
Trivial Pursuit for mine. Once we get to spelling out all of the words, it's time to shut down the game.
Allyson, in my experience, the people with the most violent physical reactions (nausea and headaches) to the smell of smoke on a person are, well, ex-smokers.
Before I smoked and quit, it didn't bother me at all. When I smoked, it didn't bother me.
FWIW, you didn't have Smoker's Reek when I met you.
