Free Association Friday: Braja The Blogging Yogi

Welcome, Free Associates! Today Braja, our beloved Blogging Yogi, and author of Lost and Found in India (the blog and the upcoming BOOK) gives her responses to the list of words I provided in bold. As if she needed all that intro with her following...


Englebert Humperdink
Sideburns sideburns sideburns!!!! Ahhh, Engel. He was an encouragement to people to be brave enough to keep their bizarre names when they become famous. I know he made this up. Wasn’t he Reggie Dwight before?

Buttress
Reinforced panties.

Uvula
Er..I don’t want to speak of ‘rude bits.’

Naugahyde
That’s the language cows speak. I have a PhD in Naugahyde.

Biscuit
My maiden name. Think about it.

Picayune
Sounds like “pick your own.” And I don’t wanna do dirty boys posts.

WangChung
He’s the guy down the road who runs a Chinese restaurant. He has two kids, boys, called Numma One Sahn and Numma Too Sahn.

Sanka
Ancient Indian philosophy that teaches you about impersonalism.
And they invented the word ‘buttress.’ See above. (Well, the Kama-sutra did come outta this land…)

Morsel
I believe that came from the Kama-sutra too but I’ve already mentioned I don’t wanna do dirty boy posts. Wait…oh forget it.

Chunklight
Best described by an image. Here it is:





Mukluk
I think it’s a disease that one of these guys above is suffering. Something about losing your nuts…

Trapper John, MD
Bastard!!! I know what he said about M.A.S.H. and it WASN’T funny.

Headgear
I’m wearing mine. Are you?

Wombat
This should be in bold letters and screamed out loud, like this “WOMBAT!!!!” Then watch those Darth-vader wanna-be squirrels up there run like shit…

Minutia
You’re reading it, baby…

Grundy
He invented television in Australia. His first name’s Reg. I’m a little tired of how you people think I’m making this stuff up…

Thanks, Braja! Man, you guys crack me up every week. Go check out FAF posted weekly over at Humor Bloggers Dot Com. Hell, leave a comment there too if you're not too exhausted.

  5. Y'know, Pseudo, I was gonna do a ten comment tap dance (you've done a 3-step, I noted), but I thought everyone would think it was wierd, me commenting on this post more than once. Since I wrote it. Y'know.

    Wait...uh....

    Ah crap...

  8. I just wanna warn you Mo Stoneskin is comin' over to read and comment. Watch your pockets, people...

    ReplyDelete
  9. Did I just read the rough draft of the epilogue to Braja's new book?

    ReplyDelete
  10. Unbelievable. Watch your pockets?

    Braja is a wallet theif, beware people.

    BEWARE FRIENDS, BEWARE OF BRAJA.

    I would like to learn Naugahyde.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Epilogue, Lisa? My book never ENDS...

    Mo...you wanna learn Naugahyde? Well, only cows speak Naugahyde. And you're all bull..
    :)

    ReplyDelete
  12. ....but I *can* teach you how to do chunklight...

    ReplyDelete
  13. I'm with you. Nobody says anything negative about MASH and lives to tell about it.

    ReplyDelete
  14. But surely you could at least give me a Naugahyde-to-English dictionary? It would make life much easier.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I was reading this as I shimmied into my buttress and it was so funny, I found myself screaming "Wombat" which woke up my kids. Thanks for nothing.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Mo, don't be bizarre...there's no such thing as Naugahyde-to-English. You simply speaks as the mooooood mooooooves you. Duh...

    ReplyDelete
  17. Mo, don't be bizarre...there's no such thing as Naugahyde-to-English. You simply speaks as the mooooood mooooooves you. Duh...

    Debbie, scream "WOMBAT!!" again, Joanie's in love :)

  18. WOMBAT!!

    I am reminded of one of my favorite poems...

    Roses are red
    Violets are blue
    I once killed a wombat
    'cause he looked just like you

    Not that you look like a wombat; it's just a poem I like, and... No, I'm afraid I've dug myself a huge hole and there's no getting out. My sincerest apologies. I'll go away now.

    ReplyDelete
  19. SULDOG! Get your sorry arse back here....chicken.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Wombat! I think that's going to be what I yell at my kids when I want to get their attention. Just to see the looks on their faces.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Too funny!
    Absolutely loved it :-)

  22. Buttress? Really? Wow, I'm never going to look at my castle the same way, ever again... maybe I need a new buttress...

    ReplyDelete
  23. NEW BLOG:

    Braja Biscuit's Buttress

    ReplyDelete
  24. Do you think Engelbert would survive if ladies threw their buttresses at him???

    ReplyDelete
  25. btw Ann...I think you needed to add another label to this, Braja's Whistlin'....doesn't it fit in that category??

    555555555555555!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dammit that makes me laugh...i feel like a pre-teen :)

    ReplyDelete
  26. But a GOOD crazy, not a wombat crazy.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Reinforced panties!! LOL!

    The post was hilarious and, in a strange way, wise too. No, please don't ask me why I think it's wise. I don't know.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Braja you never ever disappoint! And that squirrel picture? Jesus!

    I wanna play!!!

    Peace - Rene

    Sandi

    ReplyDelete
  31. Musingwoman; You possibly also need buttresses....

    ReplyDelete
  32. Awesome. Both of you. And yes, Braja should start her own dictionary.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Soooo funny. Now come over here and bend over so I can slap you! Have a wonderful weekend! ((huggs))

    ReplyDelete
  34. I took my mama to go see him not too long ago.. I actually enjoyed it too.

    Squirrels..hilarious

    ReplyDelete
  35. Well, since no one has said it, I will:

    this takes the biscuit!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Love the chunklight image. What up with those squirrels?!

    ReplyDelete
  37. What IS a buttress? And where in the world did you find that picture of the squirrel?

    Very clever - as always!

    ReplyDelete
  38. I just commented and it showed up under my daughter's name. oops! She probably doesn't know what a buttress is either though.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Hey wait! I know someone who could use a pair of those reinforced panties 'cause she drinks too much vodka.

    Not saying any names, though.

    ReplyDelete
  40. rotflmfao blognut...ooooooh your gonna get it!

    ReplyDelete
  41. I've learned more words here than I learned in Kindergarten all week.

    See? The internet is a wealth of information. Miss Biscuit must be a certified genius. Or maybe she is certified some where else...

    ReplyDelete
  42. Frying chipmunks???

    I thought this was a no-eating meat zone......

    ReplyDelete
  43. Is it okay to stop thinking about the name of Braja's maiden biscuit yet?

    ReplyDelete
  44. Cool! and hey, I refuse to wear reinforced panties--we used to call them girdles :)

    ReplyDelete
  45. But if you don't wear unders what do you do with your buttress?! I, of course, need my buttress... but inquiring minds want to know...

    ReplyDelete
  46. my favorite series - these are always so great!

    ReplyDelete
  47. I think his great grandfather was Von Humperdinkelstein. Shortened it on Ellis island.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I can hook you up with some mukluks.

    ReplyDelete
  49. When is it my turn to free associate?!? ;-)

    And Engelbert Humperdink is up there with "baba ganoush" on my favorite-words list.

    You guys totally made my drunken night! :)))))))

    ReplyDelete
  50. Damn, I LOVE babaganoush and cocktails. I'm comin' to your house. No wait...you're comin' to mine...

    WOOHOOO!! ROLL ON JANUARY AND THE PURI RETREAT!!!

    ReplyDelete
  51. So incredibly funny. Now, I need to go and get a dictionary so that I can understand the other half of the jokes.

    ReplyDelete
  52. LOVE the Chucklight photo. Very, very funny
