Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for February 19, 2013

It’s easy to become confused when Bucky is on a hot streak.

singing “La la la la la la Smurfs are all on drugs.”

Hey, guys, they are blue and always happy. What else am I supposed to think?

And I’m sure Sponge Bob can drown everyone merely by squeezing himself at you!

“Ah, this is obviously some strange use of the word ‘safe’ that I wasn’t previously aware of.” (Arthur Dent)

“Ugg boots at a Bieber concert”.Good one.

Rob is confusing the Smurf figurines with the Smurfs themselves.They were usually described as “three apples tall”.Ever see the Zuni doll from the movie “Trilogy of Terror”?

Nac mac feegle! WAHEY!!! (Wahey yer self ya boggen.)

A coworker asked is this a rerun? He seems to remember the ugg boot/Bieber reference.

They’re not “yea big”; they’re “yay big”. That is the one legitimate use for “yay”, which you’ll frequently see misused to mean an utterance of excitement and affirmation, which should be “yea”. How the hell did people get that backwards?-—————————————————————————————-

yea 2adverb variant spelling of yay 2 .

My paper says he’s on vacation.

Thanks! Rookie mistake i should have caught myself.

But what about Teletubbies Bucky?

I ate a Smurf for breakfast…or was it a Blueberry?

oh, crap. now I have to get rid of my Uggs.

Nuke the Smurfs.

Since we’re getting all exact about word spelling & usage, English Language & Usage (http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/83706/something-is-yay-big ) says “yay big” is correct. Secondly, as regards “straight and narrow” the correct spelling for that is “strait” – meaning restricted or confined. The derivation is from Matthew 7:14

No, Satchel. No … Rob’s not safe. At least, while Bucky’s still around.

Smurfs – for a while….. in my city – ordinary people of all walks of life. some had deliberately taken vacation and unpaid leave for this particular period of time. Then they decended upon our city. on every street corner. at every venue. on the ground. and seen sitting high in lifeguard chairs. And people flocked to them. swarmed them. hugged them. asked them questions, begged for directions. And took pictures of these ordinary people – dressed in the blue colour of a Smurf. ….. Volunteers they were. And we called them Smurfs.

“You’ll get your Smurf kicked.”LOL

How do you spell the joyous interjection that starts with a “y” and rhymes with “day”?

The answer is “yay.” That’s the word from the editors at the Oxford English Dictionary and The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (4th ed.).

American Heritage says the interjection is “used as an exclamation of pleasure, approval, elation, or victory.” The OED describes it as a slang “exclamation of triumph, approval, or encouragement.”
