I always loved that part in “Monster House” where they find the house’s “uvula” and one of them says “that must be the house’s uvula!” and the other says “so it’s a girl house”. 😝

How was that in that movie? 😆

Mr. Burns when answering phone = "Ahoy-hoy?"

[merrileeheard]

We used to answer the phone, "City morgue, you stab um, we slab um"! 😂

[jcfreakever]

Already knew some of these, like the umbra and oobleck(thanks to The Big Bang Theory 😝). lol When you mentioned the zamboni, it reminded me of a Peanuts comic strip I read once. Linus and Sally are in a pumpkin patch, and I forget what's said at first, but near the end, Sally's like, "I hear something..." Eagerly, Linus asks, "Is it the great pumpkin?" Then Sally yells, highly annoyed, since it's Snoopy riding by on a zamboni, "NO, it's a ZAMBONI!!" That one cracks me up! 😂

When you said "Nurdle" I thought it was the kitten Garfield was always threatening to mail to Abu Dhabi.

Dolores Jay of Elkton, Va. was one of the most studied cases of xenoglossy. With no German language study or exposure in her life, she started speaking German in 1970, while under hypnosis for pain treatment. She assumed the persona of "Gretchen, " who said she was living in Eberswalde, Germany in the 1870s. Each time she was hypnotized over the next few years, she would identify as the same person. Once, she also displayed "xenography, " meaning she could write in German, and her hand writing was different when she was writing in the language as Gretchen under hypnosis. Pretty freaky.

Ahoy there! I live in Wisconsin and I'm fairly certain we have a minimum requirement for types of cheese in the refrigerator 🤔 Currently have 5. Port Wine, Sharp Cheddar, shredded Co-Jack, string cheese, and a Mexican shred for quesadillas, Napoleon 🤓 as for favorite, Ellsworth cheese curds are tasty and I found a gruyere and white cheddar blend that is amazing 🤩

I Love your shirt Mike! I want one too!!!🙃

[Baldevi]

Heya Mike! #7, Lagniappe has a different name in Japan, where these small extras or gifts that are given with a purchase is called Omake [Oh-maa-kay] Just wanted to offer the term, I've used it for decades!

[creativelygrowingcreativity]

Wow, I had no idea the Tampa Tribune was no longer in operation. I grew up with the Tribune.

[SimplySakka]

Mike, you’re right. Havarti is the best!

[daveogarf]

"The Simpsons" C. Montgomery Burns answers his phone with "Ahoy-Hoy".

[jayfrench]

Frits actually stop the uv rays of the sun from melting the adhesive holding the windshield in place :)

[romanianangel]

I honestly don’t remember the last time I answered the phone saying hello . 😂 it’s usually YEAH! What you want ?

[Glen-qhxq]

In Japanese you answer the phone by saying, "Moshi, moshi." That translates to, "I hear, I hear."

[marcvanbueren]

[andiflanagan]

I chose Ahoy!, Mike. I'm an Alaska Lady Mariner and am quite salty, to boot...

[col.mustard]

The "cronut" has been around alot longer than that, maybe not in name, but definitely in form, I used to love them as a kid.

[richewilson]

My family has a couple of newspaper clippings that have actually Charlie Chaplin performing in Great falls Montana that are yellowed.

A cronut kind of reminds me of a crulller or a French egg donut that's been folded over in different amounts of time. I love those donuts so much, their my favorite is that they're not as overly starchy as a regular donut. They're almost like eating a croissant with the insides of a nice light custard with glaze on top.
