So, today while discussing the ever important Current Events (some of my kids seem to live in a concrete bunker 15 feet below ground, and after school hours the only outside contact is through My Space...so I feel it's my responsibility to expose them to what's up in the world) a student brought up the Chimpanzee that mauled a woman and had to be shot by police, after being stabbed by it's owner.
NOTE: I was trying to have them discuss the stimulus package....they wanted to talk about mauling chimpanzees.
But anyway....
I realized that the word "Chimp" is a great word.
Say it aloud, friends.
Chimp.
Chimp.
It has great potential. Such as..."You big Chimp!" "You are such a Chimp." and so on.
It ranks right up there with my other favorites...Weiner. Weasel. Dork. Futz. Mixmox (that's a Steffek Family Special...it means things are all mixed up.) and now....Chimp.
There's my deep thought of the day.
Maybe discussing CHIMPS is better than the stimulus package.

Ahhhh... so glad to see that current events has not changed a bit :) The new layout looks nice.
I've been fond of "beluga whale." And "spatula."
Did you see, on The Daily Show, they had a whole segment called "Felonious Monkey"? Must have been a slow news day...
Yes, some adults I know seem to live in the same concrete bunker. Stimulus package? Speech? Huh?
