The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for April 27, 2013

They’re all pigs.Don’t they know pig latin?

Un-ray, immy-Tay!Un-ray ar-fay, un-ray ast-fay!

BTW…. it’s soo tempting, in light of Burl’s remark, to bring up that infamous “quote” from former U.S. V.P. Dan Quayle…You know the one….wherein he wishes he’d have studied Latin, so he could speak directly to the people during his tour of Latin America.

However… I have to take the high road….

and admit that he never said it.

It was said in jest, by a colleague of his, even …. . but somehow became runaway “news.”

A Latin textbook within 500’ of the Penny house? Doubtful. Maybe one of Patty’s old books, but likely those were all sold in a garage sale long ago.But latin/latino? That’s pretty good, Burl. After all, the easiest way to speak Spanish is to talk slowly and loudly, put “-io” at the end of every noun and “ez” at the end of every name. Works all the time.

All of you go back to pig laten school!!

Joy must have gone to a Catholic school growing up. Dale, who apparently doesn’t know that Latin is a dead language, should have a shirt that reads “Dim-A- Lot.”

Twinkies et al are in the hiring and legal resolution phase and will resume production in July.

And among the lost things (not backed up) are the shortcuts to the recipe page, the page with all Xtech’s instructions, etc) :-(

I think Timmy needs a dictionary, not a Latin textbook.

Timmy can go to myspellit.com, the spelling words for spelling bees are separated by language of origin.

Nevermind, they probably can’t figure out how to get online.

You’re right, Timmy needs a regular dictionary because regular dictionaries include the roots of the word.

Nice, Julie, nice.
