The Letter "V"
It occurred to me, since Mr. No and I both just happened to write about
about "something" beginning with the letter "V" (we're telapathetic), that when compared to the other 25 letters in the alphabet, "V" got a pretty raw deal.
While there are NICE things that begin with the letter (Violens, Violets), "V" is also associated with a lot of crappy stuff:
(and I'm not spellchecking since Clinky's in Spain taking a bunch of pictures of train stations when he was explicitely instructed to stay away from them.)
1. Varicose Veins
2. Venereal Disease
3. Veternarians (if you're a household pet-if you're a person and this is what you choose to do for a living, well...I'm not shaking YOUR hand)
4. Vermin
5. Vandals
6. Vegatables (the bad ones, like brussel sprouts, or Von Brussel Sprouts,as they're technically known)
7. Vascectomies
8. Vampires (not the cute ones that come to your door Trick or Treating-the scary ones Ann Rice likes to write about that live forever and suck the blood out of you and look like Tom Cruise)
9. Vacuuming
10. Very Very Very Very Very Long and Boring Meetings
I'm done...I just started thinking about Vacation in the Virgin Islands, sitting on a Veranda listening to Van Morrison. But I've made my point.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with #7, personally. In fact, I'm very much in favour (which might just prove that I'm a gal...something that seems in doubt, once again, over on IANO).
Oh and you forgot vinyl...that can be pretty hideous.
OH and viruses! Everyone hates viruses.
Don't taunt me. I'm trying to be nice. But remember what Dalton said, "Be nice; be nice, until it's time not to be nice."
You're lucky I can't bring myself to type one of your misspelled words...
Cake, Good choices! For a chick.
(take THAT IANO!!!!)
Clinky,
No Hablo....
And no misspellings here. No siree.
But Dalton's most famous quote: "So what if I was born near Cockersmouth? Make fun of me again and I'm telling."
VICTORY!
Isn't that just the best word? Especially when you are the one that gets to say it!
Who has a problem with "V"?
The only "V's" I have a problem with are Villians (that is if I am still on and not cancelled.)
You can't beat VICTORY!
Still waiting for anunomess to weigh in...do you suppose she thinks I was too harsh on "V's?"
Motheragawd,
You outdid yourself...what else can I say???
A nod from this Vapid Vamp for your Vibrant Vocabulary
Excellent Ms. Anunomess-another smiley face sticker for you!
Vonald Veagan Vended Va Vold Var.
Anunomess,
Absolutely no stars for cheaters. When Vonald Veagan Vakes and Vends the Vold Var, then I'll consider his comment.
Late=No Smiley Faces
Wrong=A Big Fat F.
But he's already looking at an F.
