Do you have something that you want to share with everyone, but it doesn't really fit any thread.

You can SHOW...

Or you can just TELL...

My two year old daughter has found one of the extra dining room chairs near the light switch. I can't see her, but the light in the dining room keeps coming ON, then going OFF.....ON...OFF...ON...OFF...

Now she has her face pressed against the window screen...singing to the (whatever she sees outside).

My 5 y/o just came in as "her favorite movie" just came on...The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl, and it might just be as lame as you think that it sounds. (Starring George Lopez, David Arquette, and Kristen Davis)

The best sounding word in the English Language is Perspicuity, when spoken in a Blackburn (Lancashire) accent.

Can you somehow phonetically share that with us? :)

Hmm tricky.
Purrs (with the r sounded from the back of the mouth and rolled very slightly. It is this peculiar 'r' sound that is the main feature of the east Lancashire accent)
Peh (with very short e sound. The H is silent it merely emphasises the short open ended e sound not to be confused with ee.)
Kew(sounded with an exaggerated norrowing of the lips)
Et
Eh( very short e ending with mouth open)

Just as important is the timing, the first syllable is as long as all the others put together, but none of them should be hurried.

Now, all together.....:D
