A ten-gallon hat holds only about ¾ gallon. The name is thought to come from the Spanish tan galán, meaning “very gallant,” or galón, “braid.”

Laurell K. Hamilton shared this on Facebook and I couldn't stop laughing.



Any guesses as to who is wrong about the dishwasher?

So, this randomly popped up on Spotify this morning and I haven't thought about this song in ages.( So, whatcha doing? )

I'm working on a fic for the first numbers challenge of the year. There's an inconsequential character aggravating an established character and, often in circumstances like this, I go with the first name that pops into my head. Which is usually the name of the artist I'm listening to, a character from a book I'm reading, whatever.

So, what's the name that just popped into my head?

VELMA.

Why, I don't even know. I haven't watched Scooby-Doo since the girls were little. And I haven't even seen any commercials for it lately. But WHAMMO, there it was.

I'm not calling her that, by the way. I'm going to go with Veronica, I think. But dang. I need a vacation. Hahaha.
