Rachel J: Before or after I google it?
Me: Before, of course
Rachel J: Dang it! Ok.....is this like balderdash? The walloon, indigenous to Costa Rica, has been known to migrate as far north as Nova Scotia.
Me: Perfect, yes, you've done it correctly.
Me: Before you scrape that gum off the floor, you'd better put on your walloon.
Stacey S: An ice cold pepsi cured my achy walloon last week.
Rachel J: No googling!!!
Me: My friend Walloon and her sister Roofine took me shopping yesterday. We bought - are you ready? - drawer knobs.
Heather M: The Walleye loved the Loon for a long time before he got the guts up to ask her out. They married, and that spring the first Walloon was born.
Me: That reminds me of "Fiddler on the Roof" - "A fish may love a bird, but where would they build a home together?"
Deirdre M: I have a graduate degree in Geography. I will abstain from this contest, because I know the Flemish will kill me if I participate.
Me: I love Google and Wikipedia. The word "Flemish" bothered me for I don't know how many years and I only had my World Book Encyclopedia from 1956 to assist me.
Dalene R: As I once lived in Namur, capitol of Wallonia, I am disqualifying myself from this fun little word game. Carry on!
Me: I love that there's a real place named "Wallonia". It sounds so storybook.
Deirdre M: Trivia question: Philippa of Hainault, consort of Edward Iii of England....
Walloon or Flemish. NO GOOGLING ALLOWED!
(actually, you can google, but the answer will still be murky)
Me: Holy poop! I think you and Dalene should be playing THAT game.
Me: When I first saw the word this morning, I wondered if it was one of THOSE designations, like "quadroon" and "octoroon"...
Mel: The doctor finally found the brown walloon and removed it from his patient's body before he coded.
Mel: I love this game! More more more!
Then: Brennan asked Aunt Tawnee if she could make some tie dye T-shirts for him, in his school colors. She agreed and the shirts arrived today. She did a great job! Thanks Tawnee, you rock!
