Stupid language.

I love the fact that flammable and inflammable mean the same thing.

    English is an interesting language.

    Find a word that rhymes with Orange.

    Or Apple for that matter.

    Ok, orange is a toughie, but the word ‘dapple’ rhymes with ‘apple’. I believe it refers to colouration, specifically relating to horses.

    Plus, there’s ‘Snapple’ if you want to get all corporate (which I don’t).

    orange : doorhinge
    apple : sample

    and neither of those are true rhymes.

    Alright, I was wrong on apple.

    I think door hinge is two words.

    Fat chance = Something won’t happen
    Slim chance = Very slight possibilty that something will happen

    I don’t think that this is a true rhyme either, but ’syringe’ is fairly close to ‘orange’.

    My first post to “the Cult ‘O Luke’s Life. . .” Ummmm. . . Yeah it was bad. Not the worst (from the perspective of somebody who got to see ‘Save the Last Dance’ in theatre), but BAD. I think the problem it that JC’s box office dropped when he switched from doing toilet humour to quirky/intelligent humour, so now he’s trying to walk the line between the two. . . and that’s a little tough to do in a ‘Romantic Comedy About the Nature of God’. Put that in TV Guide.
