ewer crazy
11/01/2008 = 08:11 AM

They had a costume contest at work yesterday. I wore business casual, my only concession to the date being that I paired my pumpkin-colored V-neck with my black blazer.

When anyone asked what my costume was, I said, "I'm Kate Moss," and when they gave me the hairy eyeball, I would add, "I didn't say it was a good costume."

I would like very much to write about work, but I enjoy my job and I think doing the dooce shows a remarkable lack of originality, not to mention a lack of common sense. Some companies really don't like it if you discuss them or their clientèle on a public website. Go figure.

So I'll talk about crossword puzzles.

That Man of Mine and I are two people.

That Camry of ours is one car.

Therefore, I have to wait for That Man of Mine to finish his shift before he can pick me up at work in that Camry of ours.

Therefore, I do a lot of crossword puzzles.

I would very much like to know if anyone has heard anyone else use the word "ewer" to mean "a pitcher, particularly one found on a vanity," anywhere other than in a crossword puzzle context.

I firmly believe that, if Buttercup had said, "Farm Boy ... fetch me that ewer," Westley would have had to go out to the pasture and bring her back a sheep before he could say, "As you wish," and that would have ruined the moment, and possibly the whole damned story.

I don't have anything else right now. I should have done a meme, but I worked all week (and, without discussing my job, my company, or its clientèle in any way, I sure do love being able to say I worked all week), and I am not sufficiently motivated to fill in someone else's blanks with my answers.

You know what we need?

No, not the Cat Flushing a Toilet Song. That's already everywhere. (He doesn't care if he's wasting water.)

No, we need to bring back an old favorite, I think.

Panda Dog

Erin Carr, if you're out there, I still want to be friends with you. I think it might be the ears.
