1 One of the funniest jokes in England is: Q. Why does Edward Woodward have four Ds in his name? - A. Because otherwise he'd be Ewar Woowar. Sadly, Ian was emailing that day to let me know that Ewar Woowar was "ea."

3 Several years ago, one of us once mis-typed the word 'Love' in a text message. It has been oove ever since, which is like love, but kind of stickier and more oozing
4 This email simply contained a link to these.

I'd love to get an email about a squid with elbows. That would cheer my day no end. Also ooving the concept of oove.
They don't check up on his emailing at work, do they?
If they ever used to check it, they're probably afraid to now.
If my husband were to compile a similar list of subjects of emails I've sent him the list would consist of "Hey!" They DO supposedly monitor our email, but I think I could be more creative than hey, really.
And, whyyyyy???? is the right response to those (shoes? boots? moccasins on steroids?)...
That squid is creepy! And the shoes made me giggle.
I can't decide if that squid terrifies me or intrigues me. Perhaps it's both...
The squid was really creepy. And alien like!
And those shoes were just weird...
and your email titles are far more interesting than mine ;)
i'd like to see those boots on that squid. so awesome!
I love these almost as much as Ian ooves exclamation points :)
That last link is blocked as a malicious site by my browser. So I had to google it. I wish I had listened to the advice of my browser.
Why is Ian looking at fringed peep-toe boots anyway? That's what I would like to know
Good question. I shall send him an email, subject boots!?
In our household, we have been known to do elbowed-squid impressions, which consist of holding the upper arms out from the shoulders and dangling the lower arms from side to side, while looking googly and menacing. We also decided that 'elbowed' wasn't a good enough word, and invented the word 'gingliomatic' instead, which is much better.
Those shoes are an abomination unto God... Sadly, a woman who works in my building seems to have them in multiple colors. When she walks in them, her legs look like they are covered in excited worms.
Oh shit, that 'excited worms' description just made me laugh.
I clicked on the Edward Woodward link and at first glance the opening sentence read "The Croydon porn star [...]"
Hello, in Google Reader, this post looks something like this:
"A selection of subjects, in alphabetical order:boilers and all thatbottomscockscormorantdarwindinner!drink!earthquakes!ewar woowar1fire!foxes!heating?helloHello!Hello my love!Hello! Dinner!

Deciding which to prefer is really difficult.
I love the kind of love that is stickier and more oozing.
Somehow, I didn't ever imagine that Ian would browse designer shoe websites during his brief breaks while pondering difficult problems at his important and mysterious City Job. And that squid has seriously creeped me.
Those aren't boots. They're tall sandals.
It's because 'They are SEXY, GORGEOUS and FUN.' Those are the capital letters of a person insisting that something is true in the face of its utter irrectitude.
You will not likely find 'irrectitude' in any dictionary, by the way, but that is because those dictionaries are UNUTTER,DISCLUSIVE and INDEFINITIVE. (The boots, obviously, are simply grim, absurd and pointless.)
Hello ma'am.
How could you not include a link for the theremin?
Here: http://www.thereminworld.com/
A sculpted suede peep-toe balances out the swingy fringe on this high-fashion style. Swingy Fringe is my new catch-phrase!
I am now officially obsessed with that squid. I thought I had seen pictures of some truly intriguing animals, but a squid with elbows?
I love Ian this much too, and I especially love how the subject "Steam poo" needed no explanation.
