A simple yes or no is okay, but posts of anything even close will be quite comforting for me.

1) I just now realized that "6th Gen" refers to being 6th generation. All this time I was thinking it was a military reference.

2) I was in my first year of college before I heard 'non sequitur' spoken aloud. Up until then, when I read the comic strip by that name my mental 'voice' heard it as: non-suh-quit'-chur

3) There used to be a billboard in Destin for some Mexican restaurant with food next to "nada." I misread it (not out loud) repeatedly until one day I suggested we eat at the restaurant next to NAPA Auto Parts.

I'm great with names, but I have to see a person at least three times and usually many more before I can recognize their face. If they change their hairstyle often, I may never know them. I spend 5 to 10 minutes every Sunday doing the puzzle in the funnies where you find the 6 differences!

So, I prefer to think I'm just unobservant, but I think the truth is apparent. :D

What clued you in on 6thGen? That 5thgen local handle probably...Lots of words get me that way, dishevelled was one.


It took that, plus someone saying to him "I'm a 6th generation local myself" or something equally as obvious.

You really are a genius!

Or trying to figure out pronunciation of all those towns on 75 going south. Is it "mick- ah-nah-pee" or "my-canopy"? :dunno::D

I used to think "Don Quixote" was about a Donkey named Hodey. :dunno:

My kids are doing a song this week called "Mama Who Bore Me," and one of the girls confessed that she thought it was "Mama You Bore Me." I kind of like her version better.
