    My daughter's homework this week is to think of an adjective, then think of an antonym for it that starts with the same letter. For example 'fragrant - flatulent' They have to try to get 26 of them, one for each letter of the alphabet. So off you go, have fun with it, I have no idea if it is even possible. I'm not really going to give her the answers, but I had a bit of a laugh coming up with amusing pairs, rude ones predictably, and haven't yet managed to get anything for x or z (or quite a few others that I haven't tried to think of so far).

    Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

            Speaking of that, what ever happened to that guy wizardzz? He used to be a regular here in The Lounge, but now he's nowhere to be seen. :(

                  I think you have to type it three times if you want him to appear.

                            There's this wonderful book called Roget's Thesaurus. Have you recommended that to her? :)
