It seems that whenever I want to use it, I get the cute picture with the cat. I really like the cat, but it's been around too much lately.
What words make you giggle (no matter how old you are)?
Submitted by Margurette.
Dingbat would be one. For some reason I find that word hilarious. I also like the German word "kaputt". One word I heard over the weekend which made me laugh is "goona", one of the Australian Aboriginal words for shit (the "oo" is pronounced in a similar way to boofhead). There's a place in Brisbane which was called Goona - until they found out what the word meant.
Are you taking a vacation this summer (or this season)? Where are you headed and who's going with you?
This winter I hope to have a short 4 day weekend trip to Tasmania if I see a good deal with the airfares. I really felt cheated with the winter in the Blue Mountains last year - only a handful of wintry days. I'll have a much better chance of experiencing winter in Hobart. I'll be going on my own. After this breakup, it will be good to catch up with my family and friends down there.
What item(s) do you have to prevent yourself from buying at the grocery store?

Savoury snacks like Barbecue Shapes (these aren't found in the US, and were one of the things I really missed when I was living in Minnesota), cheese stringers, and of course, chocolates.
