No problems to here, though I woulda said "Hee Haw" to the CMT show.

That name is Brazilian? Portuguese? I would have guessed Greek or maybe Scandanavian.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

I am sure that when he was in kindergarten and had to learn to spell his name, he was thanking her for her kindness.

When I hear "vine-ripe" I automatically think of tomatoes. Too bad he didn't.

"Pro" meaning "for" and "biotic" meaning "life" - if he'd have thought of "antibiotic" he might have realized the key was to think of bacteria.

Nihil obstat® so far.

Today at the start MV reminds him that Nancy Christie made it from 16k to a million after running out of lifelines.

I was reminded of Lloyd Bentsen
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I know Nancy Christy. I post with Nancy Christy. Nancy Christy is a friend of mine.

Mr. Armamourne, you're no Nancy Christy.

Babel Fish says the Portuguese translation of symphony is "symphony".

I think his great-grandmother got very creative with her spelling. :roll:

And let me say what a pleasure it was to transcribe for the contestant with the oddest name in the history of the show! :P

I'd say she was Welsh or Czech, except there are too many vowels present.
