SUFFIXES TO SAY.

That does not explain everything.


Everything "ette". Vinegar + "ette" and incarceration + "ette" and Deity plus "ette". The problem of everyone, in a scandal, having a spokesperson. Suddenly, there are some tall, sturdy Swedes telling us that other tall, sturdy Swedes have nothing to say. Spokespeople is a shovel-ready project. Why not dedicate stimulus funds, thus, to hundreds, if not thousands, of spokespeople. It could be the President's way of including his adversaries in the national dialogue, by way of expanding their political vocabulary. Instead of being "The Party of No" -- well, they could be "The Party of No . . . Comment" if all voters had access to spokespeople. What you used to know about heavy cranes + "ette": No comment. Was that a rabbit or an elk + "ette": No comment. No, wait a minute. Was that, like, a vole, or a sourpuss, or a digdug kind of creature + "ette": No comment. See how that crab works? Chaw Sir, Chaucer, Saucer, Sauce Sir?

Stimulus funds for Stout, please. In a saucer to go.

Note how "shovel ready" = shovel it high and deep.

Can you put out some of that milk STOUT for a cat, in a saucer?

One does require funds to partake of STOUT and then does one receive the stimulus. Pay bartender + "ette" in other words.

Note that no one makes a Vinegar-ette Stout or a Stoutette. You see where this is leading, I hope.

Either to a Vinegar STOUT or an EtteEtte.

Detente + "ette" or glacier + "ette". The latter, I fear.

I mean, normally I'd agree with you, but then I think of rock + "ette" and I see the wisdom therein.

Ah well, the ette with it. Ette it. The Party of No Stout wants to ette us all.

STOUT and about, is what I am, at the moment.

Today, I thought -- will I really face the issue of our fractured politics, or will I sample a submarine sandwich?

Yeah, like politics holds up to subway. BMT. With honey mustard. Mmmm.

I sure as hell ette that.

I can't believe I ette the whole thing. And covered in Crab Saucer too.

Honey Mustard is a Burger in a Saucer.

King Crab Saucer can be some kind of severe infection, I hear. You get little king crab saucers all over the netherworld.

Honeymustard, for starters, is Lies. I have never met an honest Honeymustard. The bee mustard the honey, then the corporation added mustered. It scares me, man. It scars me.

Once the crabs are all shoveled and buried in HoneyMustard, then it's time for Stout.

Mustard used to hold a high place in the mythologies of many cultures. Gods were once fed mustard that they should vomit their own children, who they had swallowed. Now the mustard has been honeyed. The children shall remain swallowed. The Children of the Gods Are Dead.

Makes me wonder why the female ox is not called the Muskette. How much you wanna ette I just came up w/ that. Sometimes a great ette. What's this no one etted Sarah Palin? Ette salad. Bacon and ettes. You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things, knew you not the greatest ette of them all? The omelette.
