A bun showed up at the office today

He looked cutty eyed at us as we were foxing.  Our Kate pulled out her barking irons and we soon sent him out to the leaf.

Getting out your Google Translator? You'll have better luck here in the Rogue's Lexicon!

I'm thinking we need these words in a writing contest one of these days!

    It was a bag of nails (but I'm a Kate) so I dried up and clicked your link. Now I'll be out-and-out on this beautiful leaf!

    At one point I was writing a novel where the main character spoke mostly in "cant." One of the original lexicon's is available at Project Gutenberg: http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/5402/pg5402.html

    A few years ago I wrote a long piece of wise scholarship about the word "bun" and its many meanings. Oh, and about cockroaches that write poetry. http://criminalbrief.com/?p=442

Keep your comments succinct. Any comment that runs longer than 100 words is generally too long.

If you're commenting more than three times a day, it's too much.


Civility is enforced. Spelling/grammar mistakes may be pointed out ONLY in the blog post itself, not in any of the ensuing commenter's contributions.

If your comment doesn't show up, it's most likely that Blogger ate it. Try posting again using a GoogleID. (comment moderation is on only for older posts)
