From Denny: This post is number 601 for The Social Poets blog, my first! Woo! Hoo! :) Who knew where blogging would take me - and you - this past year?
I'm finally getting back into regular blog writing. I took a couple of weeks off early in January to slow down the daily writing on 12 blogs for a well deserved rest. Just when I was ready to resume writing the Haiti earthquake hit. Then the three week saga started with trying to find my cousin who had been visiting Haiti at the time of the earthquake disaster - to donate her time as a music teacher. After three weeks she was given a cell phone and talked to her mother and sister.
Of course, as usual, worried family is not so good on details, not thinking like a journalist, and I still don't know her exact location. Sounds like she's in some tent city on some soccer field, recovered from vague details of bad bruising and a not described concussion from falling debris as she ran out of the music school where she was giving a concert. Apparently, one of her students died, though again, no details or name given. She has gathered several of her other students with her - again no names or updates on their status - since they are separated from their parents or may not know the status of their parents.
Well, one detail I know for sure is that my cousin Jeanne will do all she can to help the children around her to keep up their attitudes and play some music for everyone to cheer them as well.
I just wanted to take the time to thank all of you, my subscribers and blogging friends, for checking back on all these blogs for updates on Jeanne and new posts too. Some of the blogs have languished for daily posts. The past week I've worked at getting caught up and created this post for a roundup of posts on all the blogs so you can get caught up easily too. Again, thanks so much for showing up to check out each blog as it's much appreciated!

Funny Miss Speak Known as Malapropisms
From Denny: The following is a fun excerpt from Cheeky Quote Day over at The Social Poets. For the full post, go here.
*** Those funny slips of the tongue that come out weird and ridiculous!
From Denny: OK, we have all done it at one time or another. The key to good communication and understanding with others is to, well, avoid those slips of the tongue – or brain – whichever the case may be and speak something that comes out as absolutely weird and ridiculous nonsense.
What’s a malapropism? It’s one of those Freudian nuisances that have long plagued humanity – and politicians. We will get to that in a moment. A malapropism is really the unintentional use of a wrong word or strings of words into a phrase (compounding the problem) that causes confusion with the listeners as to what you truly meant to utter.
OK, so it’s unintentional and a humorous misuse or distortion of the word or phrase. A malapropism is especially effective because though it sounds a lot like the intended word so that it ends up ludicrously wrong in the context! What’s worse is if you make a habit of talking like this.
Some typographer having fun: I Shot the Serif ---- sheriff
A quick bit of history trivia for you on the origin of the word malapropism… OK, all you show-offs quit waving your hands because you already know the answer. Malapropism came into our language a few centuries ago from the pen of writer Richard Sheridan. His character, Mrs. Malaprop, was known for these speech antics in his 1775 play named The Rivals.
Here are some of her fun malapropisms and the correct word follows. If want to study how to write malapropisms this is a great example of how to write them:
"...promise to forget this fellow - to illiterate him, I say, quite from your memory." -------------- obliterate
"O, he will dissolve my mystery!" ------- resolve
"He is the very pine-apple of politeness!" ------- pinnacle
"I have since laid Sir Anthony's preposition before her;" ------- proposition
"Oh! it gives me the hydrostatics to such a degree." -------- hysterics
"I hope you will represent her to the captain as an object not altogether illegible." ------- eligible
"...she might reprehend the true meaning of what she is saying." ------- comprehend
"...she's as headstrong as an allegory on the banks of Nile." ------- alligator
"I am sorry to say, Sir Anthony, that my affluence over my niece is very small." ------- influence
"Why, murder's the matter! slaughter's the matter! killing's the matter! - but he can tell you the perpendiculars." ------- particulars
"Nay, no delusions to the past - Lydia is convinced;" ------- allusions
"...behold, this very day, I have interceded another letter from the fellow;" ------- intercepted
"I thought she had persisted from corresponding with him;" ------- desisted
"His physiognomy so grammatical!" ------- phraseology
"I am sure I have done everything in my power since I exploded the affair;" ------- exposed
"I am sorry to say, she seems resolved to decline every particle that I enjoin her." ------- article
"...if ever you betray what you are entrusted with... you forfeit my malevolence for ever..." ------- benevolence
"Your being Sir Anthony's son, captain, would itself be a sufficient accommodation;" ------- recommendation
"Sure, if I reprehend any thing in this world it is the use of my oracular tongue, and a nice derangement of epitaphs!" -------- reprehend/apprehend, oracular/vernacular, derangement/arrangement, epitaphs/epithets
*** For the full post of funny malapropisms - that my British friends call Colemanballs after a sports announcer prone to slips of the tongue - and the examples of former President Bush in all his Miss Speak glory, video of short clips included, visit Cheeky Quote Day at The Social Poets, go here.

Cheeky Quote Day at The Social Poets! 16 September 2009
Photo by *L*u*z*a* @ flickr
From Denny: Here's an idea of what Cheeky Quote Day is like over at The Social Poets, enjoy!
***
Since so much is up in the air with the economy worldwide, and my audience is an international one (BTW, thank you everyone for your great support!), I thought I’d put up some quotes about retirement. After all, we all are dreaming about that “one day” of what we would like to do without anyone telling us it can’t be done!
While I was driving all day Monday out of town on sales calls I saw a lot of travel trailers and motor homes towing SUVs. I sure wondered where they were going and what they were going to do when they got there. I’ve been seeing those happy people motoring down the road for several months now and it sure got my curiosity up and turned my mind to the subject of retirement.
The first comedian from the past that came to mind concerning retirement was George Burns. He was quite the character and well loved in America. As he aged he made a new career out of standing on stage with an unlit cigar, a sly grin, and cracked jokes in his understated manner until his late nineties. He was in show business all his life beginning in Vaudeville.
George Burns isn’t the only comedian to craft a whole routine around the subject of retirement. The following are all kinds of perspectives about what it is like to retire from your job – or what you thought it might be like to retire! :) Get a grin and think good thoughts for your future.

Life begins at retirement. – Anonymous

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time. - J. Lubbock
When you retire, think and act as if you were still working; when you're still working, think and act a bit as if you were already retired. – Anonymous
The question isn't at what age I want to retire, it's at what income. - George Foreman, prize fighter
I'm not just retiring from the company, I'm also retiring from my stress, my commute, my alarm clock, and my iron. - Hartman Jule

Golf is a day spent in a round of strenuous idleness. - William Wordsworth
Retirement means no pressure, no stress, no heartache... unless you play golf. - Gene Perret
In my retirement I go for a short swim at least once or twice every day. It's either that or buy a new golf ball. - Gene Perret
The reason the pro tells you to keep your head down is so you can't see him laughing. - Phyllis Diller, comedian
If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt. - Dean Martin, actor, comedian, singer
If you are going to throw a club, it is important to throw it ahead of you, down the fairway, so you don't have to waste energy going back to pick it up. - Tommy Bolt
Retirement kills more people than hard work ever did. - Malcolm Forbes
Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save. - Will Rogers, Autobiography, 1949
When men reach their sixties and retire, they go to pieces. Women go right on cooking. - Gail Sheehy

Retirement: That's when you return from work one day and say, "Hi, Honey, I'm home - forever." - Gene Perret
Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold. But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow. - Douglas Pagels, These Are the Gifts I'd Like to Give to You
*** Comedy writer Gene Perret has been writing television comedy since the 1960’s. For more about him, go here.
