I say ... and you think ... ?
Risks:: rewards
Abdominal:: cramps
Radiant:: bride
The usual:: breakfast
Mix and match:: K-Mart
Wireless:: radio
Remedial:: reading
Mile:: post
Long lost::friends
Only one:: Doritos
Every endeavor has its risks and rewards. Some, like a pie contest, may bring riches; then again, it may bring abdominal cramps. Much as the radiant bride on her way to the altar thinks of innocuous things to preclude tears, such as what she had that morning for breakfast, the usual toast, coffee and juice. As opposed to the bridesmaids, pregnant as gooses and standing all in a row, wondering why the bride has chosen to feature these hideous dresses from K-Mart (little knowing the bride got a special mix and match deal for screwing the manager).
Here's something I discovered while doing a remedial reading assignment. Little did Marconi and Tesla know, back in the fledgling days of the wireless radio, that advertising would come to dominate the medium of their creation, that 2005 would see the advertising industry reach a mile post of 7 trillions of dollars spent on advertising on radio and television since its inception in 1903. But then again, where would we be without such long lost friends as “his Master's voice,” “where's the beef,” or Jay Leno's famous line for Doritos, “bet you can't eat only one...”
Get your own list of words from that classy chica over at La Luna Niña. You'll be glad you did.
