Why are there only 6 things that you say most often? Couldn't think of a seventh?

Do you still use the word "BLAST?"

Happa du-dut.

I haven't said blast in ages--but I said it so much back in the day that I should have counted it.

Kate said...

Blast was such a good word. I'm not saying you need to go back to it, but 'back in the day' it was such a good word.

If I don't manage to do this "tagged" thing, it is because I don't know 7 people who blog. I think I could come up with about 3 if I can't use you, Joumana, or Matthew.

This post reminded me that last night, Stella was telling me something and I said,"Really?" and she replied,"Really." which I found totally hilarious.

Mary Ann, where have u been hiding all this time? ;)

well, I'm amazed by number 4:
"Recite the alphabet A to Z or Z to A with equal ease" :) Oh, and I have the same habit with numeric exaggerations; only i use the number 50 000.
