Wamefou. 



It's mine and my mom's favorite Scrabble word, but I can't find it in any online dictionaries. 



It means a bellyful. 



I'm not sure of its usage... the Scrabble dictionary just gives the one word definition...  But we use it a lot. 

(Read: stuff our bellies a lot.)



We always throw the word "the" in front of it, not sure if that's how its supposed to be though.   

It comes out sounding like a disease.  "Uggghhhh... I got the wamefooou."



INGREDIES FOR A WAMEFOU TO SHAME ALL WAMEFOUS:

The trick is to freeze the bananas.  I freeze a whole bunch at once in a big yellow Splenda bag.  That way you don't need to add ice cream.  Just milk, banana, peanut butter and hershey's syrup.  Delish.


I do the same thing with strawberries.



So last Wednesday was awesome for 2 reasons. 


One, it was LETHAL WEDNESDAY, obviously.  My last one.  I ran out of Lethal Weapons. 

I need a new theme for my Wednesday night movie... any suggestions?  I was thinking DIE HARD?  I hear they are coming out with a 4th.  I dont know.  I want another buddy movie.  Are those buddy movies?


Reason the second:  it marked the end of my 30 Day Vegan Experiment on My Body! 


My body loved it, I think. 


TOFU WAMEFOU!  TOFU WAMEFOU!


At first, it was just fun.  It was just something new to do and I like anything novel.  But by the end of the month, I felt a good bit more energy and have lost a little weight.  Noting extravagant, but I can see my waist a little better these days.  It's nice. 

Also, I can set things on fire with my mind. 


So I am going to stick with it,  I think.


Except for honey. 


I guess they say vegans don't eat honey, but I am pretty sure I am going to eat all the honey I want.  



You know why?


F*** bees.



That's why.



They started it...  (with all the stinging.)   


So I don't care about the bees.  They don't fit into my master plan anyhow.  Cuz what do they eat?  Flowers?  I'm not sure.  But I am trying to eat better because basically all the grain that goes to feed the fat cows in order to make Americans fatter could be used to feed skinny people elsewhere to make them fatter.

And there's nothing I love better than a fat foreigner!

seriously.


Oh something else:  That hypothetical photo contest at the hypothetical library.  Well... I'm hypothetically an idiot because I didn't realize the pictures had to be READING RELATED! 


So I went over to my favorite lil buddy Stephen's house and took a few pictures of him and his bearded dragon, Cathy. 

He named his dragon Cathy...

I love this kid!

I used to have a bearded dragon (Mr. Miyagi--he would put his hands up on the glass and do wax on, wax off for me) but he is no longer with us. 

(Attacked by the Cobra Kai.  Too much advantage, their dojo.)

It was sad.

They make awesome pets.

I suggest "Police Academy Wednesdays"... that should keep you occupied for a couple of months.... BTW.. your photos are excellent! Lizard on a Bowling Ball.. fantastic on so many levels! Based on that photo alone, I'm moving you back into my top friends box!

Thanks!  Woohoo!

I was actually kind of THINKING the Police Acadamy movies!  I never saw any of them.  But they are mentioned in one of my favorite Simpsons quotes:

"When I first heard that Marge was joining the police academy, I thought it would be fun and zany, like that movie.  Spaceballs.  But instead it was dark and disturbing.  LIke that movie--Police Academy."  Homer

Hmmmm... I think my dad has all those Eastwood movies. Maybe I'll see if I can borrow them.

You read my mind, by the way. I was sitting here trying to figure out why in the world they might be called spaghetti, and then I read your next sentence. that's cool. I wonder how ol Sergie felt about that.

me want honey comb! now!

One of the greatest buddy movie trilogies ever was the Trinity series with Terrence Hill and Bud Spencer.  They were simply hilarious.  They were My Name is Trinity, Trinity is Still My Name, and My Name is Nobody.  Well worthy of Wednesday watching.

This was a very engaging blog; you have a delightful sense of humor.  The bit about cobra kai was perfect.

I traced you here from Nanea's blog; because of your smoothie recipe, actually.  I am a fan of smoothies.

I never heard of those.  I love hilarious!  I will check them out.

Thanks!

Nanea is awesome.  That was a delicious blog.  thanks for tracing me.  I am a fan of smoothies, too, but i am not a fan of the actual word "smoothie."  I feel kind of like a doofus when i say it.  But i dont like to say "shake" either.  I may just switch over to "blended foodstuff beverage."

Links!  Ooh this looks good.  1971!  I like old movies.  Western/Comedy sounded weird at first, but then I realized... Shanghai Noon!  I love that movie.

Oooh, look at you!  Coming to the rescue with your Scottish etymologies... I love it! 

Ha, I'm with you on that one.  It's my dad's favorite book... He's been trying to get me to read it for forever, but I keep getting stuck somewhere in the first half.  I'm gonna do it though.  I just decided:  Beach reading for this summer is officially determined.  

Look out John Galt.  Here I come.

BENICIO!  Love him!  He is like a grizzly Brad Pitt. 

Sarah del Toro.  I'm digging it.  All I have to do now is find a dude with that name that's willing to marry me.  I'd do it, too.  We don't have to live together or anything.  I just want the name.

I don't fot!  You fot!  sicko.

Hmmm.... I found wamefou in the Scots Glossary, but it just gives the same definition you did.... http://www.mudcat.org/scots/index.cfm?start_letter=W

Apparently, "A wamefou's a wamefou" is a common Scottish saying.... http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2386/is_2_115/ai_n8693727/pg_16

You should try bees sometime. I used to eat them as a kid. They're very sweet, but I suppose you would expect that from something that vomits honey

Haaa ha you are silly!  Are the bees furry? 

They look furry.

I am definitely going to use that phrase if/when I have kids, if/when they complain about my cooking!!!

I left the windows down on my car today and when I went to use it there was a bee in the back seat.

Not that I'm deathly scared of them but who wants to share a car with a bee?  You pick the wrong radio station and boom you get stung.  Seriously.

So, I opened all the doors and waited for the bee to leave my car unmolested.

Smart thinking.  You gotta choose your battles with those guys. 

They're wiley.

I wonder what's a bee's favorite radio station? 

I suspect they like jazz.

I think it's important to distinguish "bees" from "wasps and hornets" which are minions of Satan.  Bees make honey and usually won't mess with you unless you accidentally almost squash them.  Hornets and wasps sting you for the pure evil fu*%ing pleasure of it.  They make those bumfug paper nests and eat carrion.

The best buddy movie ever is "Midnight Run", but that's only one movie.  I love Spaghetti Westerns, but how about the collective buddy films of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis?

It's been said before, but you do bring the funny.

It never even dawned on me to theme my movie nights! You're a genious! Buddy movies huh? When I think of modern buddies, I think of Matt and Ben. They've been in a few together. Good Will Hunting, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Glory Daze, School Ties, and they were actually extras together on Field of Dreams. Just for kicks I'd throw The Departed in there. Ben wasn't in it but DAMN! that was a good movie!

 

I have bulldog slippers!

Your blogs make me happy.  Not win the lottery happy. No, that would be silly. More like, having the correct change at Hardees happy. Or finding one of those rogue peanut M&M's that are fused together to make one gianormous, warp- shaped M&M.  Light Silk? Any good?

Probably more than you ever wanted to know about wamefou...

Wambe, Wame, Waim, Weam, Wayme,
s. 1. The womb.
<cliped>
2. The belly, S.
"-Enery ane of thaym gueyn mair tyl riatus surfet & glutony of thair wambe, than to ony virtew of thair eldaris." Bellend. Cron. B., viii. e. 3.
His tale, thant on his rig before tymes lay,
Vnder his wame lattis fall abssitly(sp),
And to the wod can haist him in til hy.
Doug. Virgil, 394, (illegible)

A coarse, but emphatical, proberb is often addressed by a mother to her children, when she reckons them unreasonable in their demands for food; "Weel, weel, what's in your wame [wyme]'s no in your testament," S.
The direct meaning of the language would be: "What ye consume now, you cannot bequeath in any will you make afterwards." But, as I have heard the Prov. applies, I have always understood the sense to be; "What you get from me by your voraciousness now, you cannot expect to be bequesther to you in the testament that I shall make for your behoof. You put this out of my power."

3. The stomach. A fow wame, a full stomach. A wamefou, a bellyful, S.
Hes thow no rewth to gar thy tennent sueit(sp)
Into thy lawbour, full fayat with the hungry wame
Henrysone, Bannatyne Poems, p. 121, st, 21(?)
Moes. -G. wamba, A. -S. Isl. wamb, Su. -G. waamb, venter, uterus.

To Wame - one's self. v. a. To fill one's belly Roxb. V. Wambe, s.

Wamefou, Wamefu', s. A bellyful, S.
"A wame-fou is a wame-fou, - whether it be of the barley-meal or the bran." St. Ronan, i. 235.

-Let neer a wanefu' be a missing,
But gie us routh o'food;
) gio us bannocks, brose, and kail,
Potatoes, cabbage, and the wale
O'every thing that's good.
Glutton's Grace, A. Scott's Poems, p. 163

And finally my new favorite word:

Wamelin, Wamblin, s. A big bellied puny child, Caithn. V. Wamflin.

from An Etymological Dictionary of the Scottish Language
by John Jamieson

Published 1879
A. Gardner


Thanks for keeping me entertained.
