Curling? I don't get it.
I suppose that the woman in question did not know the difference between, "curdling", and, "curling".

She must have been taught the Nursery Rhyme about Little Miss Muffitt, "...eating her curls & whey".



Waiter!
There's a hair in my curls!

"....those areas are really high in evaluation too. Higher than any elevation in MO are AR Ozarks hence why they are cooler then the Ozarks or in most places of MO. And the areas in VA along the coast are cooler because of the ocean...."

Not true, Delahanty, not true! You've ALWAYS been a stickler for correct usage... (except when you aren't.)

Well then. and double . It's CURLING? Made me picture the drink going round and round and round in the class. Pretty bad when people have to translate for them.

From a thread about Latoya Jackson: "I would imagine losing your virginity in that family would involve the hole family sitting around watching, munching down on popcorn."

I suppose that he/she must have been one of those combination M.D./servers.
They are very good to have on staff at a restaurant, in the event of fork fights, food poisoning, or other medical emergencies.
