(But when I need them, they'll be there.)<br /><br />One of yours that I like a good deal is "Discombobulate". I don't get to use it often, but I do like it. (I once heard an athlete call it, "Discombooberate". I might like his version even better!) <br /><br />Some others that would make my long list of favorites are: Bourbon (I like how it looks, sounds, smells, and yeah, it doesn't taste bad either); Sheboygan (a small town in Wisconsin); Cadillac; Chartreuse; Pachuco; Palooka; and Sazerac (it's an old-tyme cocktail - I had one once and it was pretty good but not as good as its name).<br /><br />Of course, there are also some words I don't like, but I won't go there now - this is supposed to be a happy blog bit!<br /><br />~ D-FensDogg<br />'Loyal American Underground'Stephen T.
