National Rental Car's New Logo
This is not Hansman. (nothans)
This young man gave me permission to take his picture. I do not know his name, and I'm sure he had no idea he would end up on my glob. I didn't either, because at the time, I didn't have a glob. So, if you recognize him, please tell him Swampwitch says thanks for giving her a picture to post. The agent at the counter had already rented him his car by the time she read the back of his shirt. By the look on her face, I think she wished he had gone to the Hertz Rental Car counter.
The previous post had a sunrise picture on it. I asked if anyone could give clues as to where it was. In order to know exactly where it was, you would have to have been there when the picture was taken. It could be any lake, anywhere. I just liked the way the sun reflected in the water and how the clouds appeared. It is Lake Washington in Seattle. Thanks for your guesses. As usual, today's picture has nothing to do with today's text.
Today's post is another Verbal-Linguistic assignment. Please don't let the word "assignment" scare you away. Everyone ends up with an A+ in this class.
Directions:
Define and/or use the following "words" in a sentence. Parts of speech may be included. For examples, see a previous post.
1) fiddle:
2) griyuts:
3) hominy:
4) idnit
Example:
mewuhls: n. (the animals that were NOT posted at Julie's place yesterday)
You people, those are Percheron horses. They are not mewuhls.

That shirt is funny!!! and i read the post below about the tracker.. the way you wrote that out was to funny... sorry bout the truck though...
Well Swampwitch, it's like this. I used your first word in a recent postand title, 'cause I do like to fiddle fart around some. And I don't eat griyuts no matter hominy times you tell me it's made outa corn! Idnit amazin' how some folks get so dang pickey 'bout food?
♥Pam
okay, how'd I do, how'd I do? *giggles like a schoolgirl hidin' in the coatroom*
Awww. Thank you Mrs SW.
*blushes sheepishly*
♥Pam
I think pam deserves an A++!!
I think she deserves one too
but wouldn't it be pronounced
...aawwwaaayy
How clever, Pam! I never really thought to use the words in a different context.
SW - I hear you are a retired teacher - what advice would you give towards my latest post?
Wolfbaby: Thanks for being concerned about the truck. It is just fine though and has acclimated itself to this type of abuse.
Pam: I am so impressed at the way you incorporated all the words into one sentence and used them in context. I did think of this particular post when I used fiddle in the assignment. You are such an enthusiastic student.
C: OK, Pam receives an A++ this time.
Pamela: Nice use of onomatopoeia. Maybe you and Pam could work together next time.
C: Is that you in that martini glass? I will be over to check out your latest post. Yes, I am a retired teacher, but am going to school tomorrow to teach fifth graders how to juggle. Just miss it a lot.
Well, I think Pam looked off my paper. :) Heehee. I was gonna use each of the words exactly like she did. Oh well!
Oh, and the part about the horses/mules was great!!
Hey! Thats my brother!!!
not really, but it coulda been....
who mistakes draft horses for mules!!??!!
okay, here's my go at it:
"Idnit fun to drive to Hominy, Oklahoma to eat griyuts at the local cafe who has a fiddle player playing music?"
I am doing this without readin any comments (which is really hard for me to do but it would just seem like cheating).
1.) Honey, my car is making a funny noise. Why don't you go fiddle with it and see if you can fix it.
2.) I would rather not eat griyuts because by the time I fix them up with butter and sugar, they really aren't that healthy anymore.
3.) Hominy licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?
4.) Idnit going to be fun to go to the Memphis/UT game on Saturday?
Dude, that was so fun! Now, I'm going to post my answers and go back and read the ones before me to see how I might have done.
I thought about using two of the words in the same sentence and figured that might get me in good with the teacher but now I'm kind of glad I didn't since Pam up there beat me to it.
(Oh, and thanks for the compliment on my post today.)
Criminy! I dun fiddled around all mornin' without eatin' muh breakfust. I think I'll fix me up a big ol' bowl of hominy griyuts. Mayonnaise nuttin' like griyuts fer breakfust.
My assignment's good, idnit?
Swampwitch...in case you were wondering and you've probably figured it out by now...there are two of us C's! We've laughed that we're twins from separate moms because we both have the same name and both adopted C as our sign off!! :)
I love the shirt! Too Cute!
Julie: We call looking off someone's paper "Cooperative Learning."
CM Mules
MR not Mules
MR Horses...Percheron Horses
BarnGoddess: Wouldn't if be fun if someone really did recognize him? Great sentence.
SillyHily: Glad you had fun with this. You certainly spent a lot of time on your homework.
Susan: Yes, your assignment is very good and I am always amazed at how creative you are with all your comments, everywhere. Isn't it fun to play along?
C: Actually, at first I thought you (she) had two different blogs until I read the profiles. Before, I wondered why your avatar sometimes showed up and other times it didn't ...especially since I live in the state of Cornfusion.
Brian: Very interesting sentence. You may have to help me out with some context clues. And, my comment is floating somewhere out there in Globospace. I tried to post back.
RNG: Thanks for visiting. I know you have a lot going on, so hang in there, gal.
Swampwitch: Idnit grand that my daughter plays the fiddle? I haven't tried hominy n grits - who knows, might like them.
Swampwitch: Idnit grand that my daughter plays the fiddle? I haven't tried hominy n griyuts - who knows, might like them.
I double commented I think (second one was correcting my spelling. I couldn't get the picture just now, be back to check on it later.
I don't fiddle around with them griyuts. There is no hominy in chewin' them, only melodic crunch. But that isn't what you meant, idnit?
Hi Swampwitch I came to leave you my flashing avatar!!!! Thanks for leaving me a comment on my blog! I have yours bookmarked now. :-) I know you said yours was G rated so I promise to keep all my dirty words to myself :0)
I too know very little about computers, thankfully I have my very own blogger fairy who helps me with all the technical stuff..
I -blankety blank -love that guys shirt!
I love the guy's shirt too! I'll just bet the clerk didn't get a big kick out of it though.
If this was a contest, I think Pam won it. I can't even begin to outdo her! LOL!
I can't help it . I just like the word "fiddle."
It sounds like it does.
G: You win for having the most consecutive posts. Maybe tomorrow you can go for four. And I love how you "corrected" your spelling from g-r-i-t-s to g-r-i-y-u-t-s. Webster would be happy.
Brian: Thanks for coming back to give me the clues. You are about 5 levels above me, you know?
KarmynR: Yup.Thats zackly wut I meant.
* D * : How do you make those little wavy things around your name? Better yet, how do you make your avatar wiggle? That is blankety-blank cool.
Gayle: It wasn't an "official" contest just an ordinary 'ole homework assignment.
Laura: Isn't it funny how some words are just fun to say. Like onomatopoeia? FiddleFaddle.
