So now, for some reason, about 2 miles into my run I start farting. Uncontrollable, loud, forceful farts. It’s embarrassing. It doesn’t matter what time of day I run or what I’ve eaten, the gas is there.
And that’s all I have to write about. I had a gloriously boring weekend.
Two made up words I heard this weekend: romantical as in “he was very romantical” and tooken as in “he was tooken to the hospital”. Nice.

Egregious lapses in grammar bother me so immensely. I know it’s an indicator of the problems in our education system, and that somehow the grammarless snuck into the Whitehouse on not one but two occasions, (thus proving that in this country anything is possible if you have the money and connections to make it happen,) but it is still intensely bothersome.
It really is no wonder that the rest of the world hates us. The real wonder is that the vast majority of Americans have an almost sickening obliviousness to it all.
One of my relatives recently used the word “tooken.” I think she said something like, “That was already tooken.” I said, “Don’t you mean it was already taken?” I know we both have redneck families.
I have the same problem when I run. It’s usually right when I start running and passes quickly. It is embarrassing. It would ALWAYS happen in high school at the start of a cross-country race, and I figured I was in among so many runners that nobody would hear it. 🙂
LOL!!! Debbie, I’m sorry to laugh, but I have the same freakin’ fartin’ problem! Let’s just consider ourselves faster runners because we’re “jet propelled” shall we? 🙂
I get that problem too and I’m positive it’s because all your insides are bouncing around, but..whatever, let it RIP!
ROFL! at “jet propelled”
I live in Texas, I think it’s common here to butcher words and recreate new ones. It drive me insane sometimes.
Even if I do know what it means I pretend I don’t and just stare at the fool until they explain LOL.
Can’t stop giggling about this 😀
I fart in rhythm with my stride! And giggle. Nobody told me I should be embarrassed.
I need to read the rules about word that end in “-ic” with an alternate or acceptable version ending in “-ical”. I hear people do it more and more lately, and I swear it ALWAYS sounds wrong to me!
I thought the farting was a good sign. Movement begets movement, right?
My kids say, “I’m smartical” jokingly, but I’ve never heard anyone end a word that way seriously.
