So this newbie thing.... I'm feeling left out, but I hate to draw the spotlight, so I thought I'd just add a footnote to someone-else's billing......

British expat in Michigan, 3 sprogs, one born here. Been here 5 years, feeling (and sounding) very mid-Atlantic. Professional "involved parent", would call myself a housewife but no time for housework, too busy trying to run the world.

4. What is your quest?
Experience

You scored 51 Danger, 63 Intrigue, 56 Romance, and 28 Material Gain! You love well, you live well, you fight for what you believe in, and you keep a clear sharp mind. Your quest is to experience all that life has to offer, to travel, to learn, to take every oppurtunity. You are a very free person, and care little for money and physical comfort. Religion might come easily to you, as might philosophy..

Maybe, but I still remember - and I remember seeing a few others mention that they'd discovered it the same way - Image of the Day. Got to this site somehow looking at cool pictures....
And...welcome Lee.

Not to change the subject......

Since I started during the dial-up years, I don't remember where I found out about it. Back then there were no hyperlinks, so the Cellar was either listed on another board or mentioned in a post.

So that you have the rare chance to make the word oxymoron feel wanted- as in 'I haven't a single pair to wear'... that poor word gets hardly any chances at all to be in the public eye and as might be expected it becomes very depressed as a result - make an oxymoron happy, and string two contradictory words together today - let's make today the official oxymoron day from now on - put it in your diaries to be celebrated every year - SAVE THE OXYMORON! SAVE THE OXYMORON! - and remember 'an oxymoron a day... ....!?' (damn a forgotten memory, who'd have thought....!)

Because their main purpose is to hold in two testicles.

Of course, then the question becomes, how come brassieres aren't sold in pairs.

The sober answer is that
brassière is singular even in the French.
