I was so tickled by a common southern (mis)pronunciation of words like UMbrella and INsurance when I lived there that I have trouble sometimes dropping them.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Punishingly Intricate
I stumble over words when I'm tired or anxious too and it's really embarassing when someone makes fun of me for it. I mean, I'm a professional word person!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
UMbrella
Rihanna has forver ruined me.
wanders off singing, "ella, ella, eh, eh, eh...."

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I stumble over words when I'm tired or anxious too and it's really embarrassing when someone makes fun of me for itya, anxious. Like a first date with a beautiful woman. And introducing her to your colleagues, and forgetting her name. Nope. Wouldn't know anything about that.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I get all mispronouncing when I'm tired, too. Also, when I'm excited, I start talking really fast and a bit louder, so words might tumble out in mangled fashion more under such circumstances.
But my sister and mom still haven't given up needling me for the time we were driving to New England for our 1982 vacation, and I was waking up from a nap in the backseat to see fields of cows on the side of the road. In my half-asleep mumble, I said, "Look, horses!" They still, to this day, point out cows in fields and say, "Oh, look, Kathy--horses!"

The word is pronounced REE-search, and I'll cut anybody who says I'm wrong.
(The Mason-Dixon Line was 7 miles south of my house. We drove over it and back to get to my middle school. So?)

just because you have a shiny newish Mac, doesn't mean you have unlimited processing power. If you are editing a large file in a processor whore application like Digital Performer with lots of virtual instruments, you might want to quit: iChat, screen share, Entourage, Firefox, Word, Excel, and I couldn't tell what the other icons were. It might be why you randomly crash. Like when Microsoft apps go to the library to perform background tasks whether or not you want to use them at that moment. IJS. Small suggestion. k. thnx. bye.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Having just cleaned the kitchen, here is what I think about President Obama:
He is the human version of a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.
(Yes, the Magic Eraser is magic. It just cleaned the foulest stovetop ever to be seen in a kitchen. And I include frat houses.)
Also, when I picked up my comics today, my comic-book guy told me he had a dream that Obama changed his (comic-book guy's) car's transmission fluid. We agreed that he may well fix the world in his first 100 days and then spend the rest of his term traveling around the country doing odd jobs for people.
"Is that a couch you're moving? Let me grab the end!"
"Cleaning your gutters? I have a ladder!"
