It's my greatest fear that you'll stop updating it. Would that make the list a victim of friendly fire? These are bittersweet times. Let's go play softball.

I can't think of a good addition, but I dig the list.

reesetee commented on the list jumbo-shrimp
Thanks, NAJP. :-)
February 28, 2007
reesetee commented on the list jumbo-shrimp
U, are you suggesting "greatest fear" for the list? If so, forgive me, but...I don't get it.
February 28, 2007
uselessness commented on the list jumbo-shrimp
Well, maybe it's a stretch. I was thinking of the other definition of great, as in good. A person seldom considers his fears good. :-)
February 28, 2007
reesetee commented on the list jumbo-shrimp
Ah, I see! I was trying to figure it out in terms of degree of fear, and it wasn't making sense. You meant it like "good grief," more or less.
February 28, 2007
uselessness commented on the list jumbo-shrimp
More or less. Maybe less. Yes, definitely less.
Suppose I said my greatest fear was spiders. Oops, I just said spiders were great. Ha ha, joke's on me. Um. Yeah.
Maybe you should just leave that one off the list... and pretend I never said it.
February 28, 2007
reesetee commented on the list jumbo-shrimp
Not to worry, u. It was just a near miss. Besides, it's old news. ;-)
February 28, 2007
trivet commented on the list jumbo-shrimp
The pugilist paused in the middle of his book of historical fiction because he felt a numbing sensation in his arm, perhaps a lingering effect of the boxing ring. He decided to climb down from the couch and play some double solitare with his manager while they discussed his next press release. It was a safe bet that his opponent, the living fossil, would accidentally on purpose stir up some trouble before the next match. "That guy is pure evil," said the aging yuppie manager, "I wouldn't be suprised if he is found missing some day."
February 28, 2007
reesetee commented on the list jumbo-shrimp
Zoiks! Trivet, you outdid yourself! Thanks! :-)

how about "military intelligence"
March 2, 2007
reesetee commented on the list jumbo-shrimp
Thanks, azzurre, but I'm trying to stick to the ones that aren't meant to be jokes--just the ones people say in everyday speech without necessarily realizing it. :-)
And by the way, I'll bet uselessness loves your name.
March 2, 2007
azzurre commented on the list jumbo-shrimp
you're right, of course. I just couldn't resist. Maybe black light, the once popular name for UV lamps?
--wonders whether to ask about her name and what's right or wrong with it--
March 2, 2007
azzurre commented on the list jumbo-shrimp
on the same theme as "new and improved" cited earlier, there's "better than new" which you see sometimes. Not really an oxymoron but close
March 2, 2007
reesetee commented on the list jumbo-shrimp
Oh, but I like it. It's on! So is black light. Thanks, azzurre.
March 2, 2007
reesetee commented on the list jumbo-shrimp
Oh, and by the way--sorry about the reference with no explanation. I'd forgotten how quickly comments can drop to the bottom of the home page. Go to lapis lazuli for an explanation of my lame joke. :-)
March 2, 2007
uselessness commented on the list jumbo-shrimp
It's true. I laughed aloud at the coikydink of finding a new user with that name on a day like today. So, in which language do we pronounce your name? :-)
And reesetee: I would expect that only us "regulars" are in the habit of following the Recent Comments list. It's a good habit to be in. But I'd think it takes most newbies a while to pick it up. It did for me, anyway, way back when.
March 2, 2007

Thanks for the addition, Valse! I'm enjoying the list too.
March 3, 2007
valse commented on the list jumbo-shrimp
I was wondering about the word ones used in the case of "I want those ones over there." Seems almost like an oxymoron within itself taken out of context.
March 4, 2007
reesetee commented on the list jumbo-shrimp
Hmm. Interesting, Valse. Never thought of it that way....

slumry commented on the list jumbo-shrimp
I love this list--I linger and chuckle here. How about more unique? (One of my mother's major rubbies.) You already have greater half, but how about the child's version--"I want the big half?
When my brother and I were very young, we would look out the window at night and scare ourselves by saying to each other black headlights!. I dimly remember an adult talking about someone sitting in his car at night, "with the headlights blacked out," and up to no good. Evidently it was quite evocative for George and I! The thought of black headlights gives me a little chill even now. So I offer you this idiosyncratic tidbit.
July 16, 2007
reesetee commented on the list jumbo-shrimp
Thanks s! Boy, I'd have been scared to death by those black headlights too. Funny the things that terrorize you when you're a wee one. :-)

When I see the term organic vegetables, I often wonder what inorganic vegetables are made of. ;-) open secret?

Good one! I wonder that too. ;-) I have obvious secret listed already, though.

Not a classic, but this did thump me over the head this morning:
"It averaged 10 mph faster around the 37 mile course than its closest rival and established itself as the first superstar company to emerge in a fledgling giant industry."

A friend of mine was telling about a recipe for jumbo mini-muffins, so I had to tell him about the dwarf mammoth skeleton I'd just seen at my local natural history museum.
Then, of course, I had to tell you!
