Caught by the Galley Cat

OK, I know. I said pictures. I'm still away from home, and don't have a good way to connect my camera to this computer. So, in lieu of photos, here is a link to a great article on Galley Cat about Logorrhea.

I love the title of the article: "This Headline Has the Word Autochthonous." This is a play on what I said to Ron Hogan when I was describing how I felt about the sentence when autochthonous was the winning word in 2004. The sentence was: "The autochthonous fauna of Australia is the kangaroo." To which I quipped, "That's like the vocabulary sentence you write in grade school: 'This sentence has the word autochthonous in it.'"
