Last night after rehearsal we went to Mai’s (mmm, sticky fried rice), and spent a goodly amount of time playing Stinky Pinky, a word game in which players come up with riddles whose answers rhyme. An example would be:

Q: What do you call a smelly finger?
A: A stinky pinky.

It is customary to tell how many syllables the answer pair has by prefacing the question thusly:

Q: (Stink-pink) What do you call a boisterous offspring?
A: Wild child.

Q: (Stinky-pinky) Who was our most malodorous President?
A: Stinkin’ Lincoln.

Q: (Stinkily-pinkily) What do you call a salty-sauce-maker’s tiny exposure to the sun?
A: Kikkoman picotan.

Q: (Stinkily pinkily) A Strong-Bad Email character’s prohibition on a famous ficitional horse.
A: Thnikkaman Flicka ban.

(and so on).

I’ll try to do one each day, with the syllable hint as the title. Compete with your friends to be the first to answer in the comments! Sometimes, there may be more than one answer that fits, so post yours if you don’t already see it. At the end of the year, I might even award a token prize to the person who gets the most. We’ll see. Since Stinky Pinky is already in this post, that’s what this one’ll be (no fair answering if I’ve already done this one).

Q: What is the proper response to Ms. Jackson’s protestations of innocence?

An Acura TL. Desert exterior (same as the Audi), black leather interior. Bluetooth ready, so my calls on my cell are automatically routed through the sound system. Navigation coolness. Wheee!!

I shall post pictures when it stops raining and I can get some decent pictures.

Kathyrn Hardcastle at Gillman did me a great deal. But their appraiser couldn’t give me a good price on the A6, so I’ll be selling it on eBay tomorrow.
