Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

the most being a word Adam Savage managed to cheat his way past by finding someone in the audience who knew it.
Actually, oeil de boeuf (bull's eye) was easy for anyone who knew French (or architecture). I was going to stand up for it if no one else did. There were a lot of French words last night. Who missed oubliette? I was suprised by that one.

You know how I mentioned my neighbors turning their Acura into a convertible?
I knew a guy in Atlanta who did that to a big old Caddie. Was quite nifty, except if it started to rain, in which case he had to cover it and find another way home.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, good god. I just got earwormed with a song we learnt in French class, except the words are all wrong, so I can't even google it. Aha! My memory isn't all fritzed. Alouette. Except not, Oubliette.
And Wikipedia tells me it's French Canadian. How weird. I wonder where I learnt it. It's even tied to McGill. Why would I be learning that at university?
Going in to work late today. Hopefully I can get my pain meds ordered and picked up with no problem.

The bird plucking song! I think it must be a staple of french classes.

Kids seem to get caught up by French words in the national spelling bee all the time. I guess they're hard if you've had no French classes.
