So, what words make you laugh? (Keep it PG, folks.)

Musician. Composer. Recovering perfectionist. Minister-in-transition. Lover of puns. Hijacker of rock song references. Questioner of the status quo. I'm not really a rebel. Just a sincere Christ-follower with a thirst for significance that gets me into trouble. My quest has taken me over the fence of institutional Christianity. Here are some of my random thoughts along the way. Read along, join in the conversation. Just be nice.

    Jeff,
    Snarky – just that “ar” sound in almost any word gets me – and Akimbo.
    Tried to use Akimbo in a news story once and the editor pounced on it, gesticulating wildly while exclaiming loudly that no reader would understand how a dead person’s position could be “akimbo.”

    I always laugh at the word Yogurt, and I personally have trouble saying the word Rural – It always sounds like Astro or Scooby Doo to me – (aw Right Rorge/Raggy).
    Then there’s those words people use to sound smart, like: Litigous, and Perspicuity.
    Two of my all-time favorites are: When people are out Masticating in public – especially at one of those West-coast Thespian hang-outs!
