I've been thinking about Q for a few days now... Not sure what to say about Q. What CAN you say about it really? It's basically an O with a kickstand.
I thought about making a post tribute to Queen, cause they are one of the greatest most under-rated band of all time, but I figured I'd be in of at least a dozen to do that, or at least use the word Queen.
Printer queues are probably a bad subject cause most people would find such a post boring as all get out, and as an IT geek printer queues just infuriate me, cause you only talk about something like that unless it's not working right...
I have no particular feelings about Quebec. I mean, I hope things are going well for Quebec, but... meh?
I like it when it's quiet, but again, I bet there'll be a lot of "quiet" posts.
I guess my best bet for a subject that won't be over done, would be Quiche, but I hate that stuff... I absolutely love every single ingredient in Quiche, but for some reason, quiche disgusts me. It's like, an omelet cake... I just don't like it, and it boggles my mind! Doesn't make sense, cause like I said, everything in it is great! I'll admit that it's been a while since I've tried it, but I remember doing everything I could not to wretch when I tried it.
There's a street near me named "Quequechan" street, and I don't know how to pronounce it... kwickichan? kyoukyouchan? Kyoukuhchan??
I guess there really ARE a lot of words that start with Q as you can see here... But a ton of those words I don't know the definition of.
...and what a little freakin punk U is huh? Q can't get a moment to itself unless it's hanging out in a word that nobody who speaks English even knows! Poor Q can't go to parties with LMNO and P without dragging U along, and that's a pain in the ass, cause then they'd need a car that seats 7... And we all know that when it's time to pick the designated driver, it's NEVER U... is it.
... parting thought: Spellcheck tried to change LMNO to "Leno". I'm not even going to check Quequechan.
Well done, Matt - pretty quaint, quirky, qool selections to represent "Q".
ReplyDeleteWell done! That's brilliant, how to make a really fun post out of a weird letter. Sue@JumpingAground (Alliteration & drabbles)

[Acronym that I refuse to use because it is stupid but since I have nothing else to substitute it with I'll have to make due with the full three words: Laughing Out Loud - though I actually snorted out loud. SOL?]
ReplyDeleteThis post made me SOL. O with a kickstand? SOL! U as the annoying tag-along? SOL!!
And if you think you're having problems, you should try looking Q up in a Norwegian dictionary. That's right. Ain't there. Or if it is, all the words are English/Latin/Jibberish. True story.
You hurt me bad Dude.
ReplyDeleteReal bad.
Yours truly,
QUIRKYLOON
*sob*
hee hee hee
Nice post. Love the point about the U at the end.
ReplyDeleteGreat! Can't wait to read what you do with X!!
ReplyDeleteQuirky and Qool and Qudo's to Sue for introducing us to you :)
ReplyDeleteLeslie - Thanks very much!
ReplyDeleteSue - Thanks!
Cruella I shall have to try that! Never thought about a Norwegian dictionary!
Quirkyloon - I thought you were copyrited!? I'm broke these days, I can't pay you the usual royalties...
Carrie - The Q/U relationship has been a thorn in my side since my scrabble playing days!
Halli - I've already started stessing about X... I figure everyone will be doing X ray, or Xylophone... Gotta find something a little less obvious!
Thanks San, you snuck in just as I was posting. :)
ReplyDeleteIronically, I seem to have gone from 83 followers to 82 this morning. ...Must have been a U fan. /shrug.
Great descriptions of Q. I'm also a Queen fan. Rock on!
ReplyDeleteFor the record, I have already seen a quiche post today, so it's a good thing you didn't pick that as your topic!
ReplyDeleteI like Q, but it really is too bad it can't go anywhere without U tagging along.
Q'eqchi' is a Q without the u, but I am just showing off. It is one of the native Mayan tongues...I don't speak a word. My husband on the other hand can swear in that language.
ReplyDeleteWell done - LOVE the font :) It's Quirky - perfect.
