F is for . . . ?

When I first sat down to write an "F is for" post, the words that came to mind were. . . . less than appropriate, shall we say?

I found myself only able to think of words that started with F and ended with "ing" and would make people blush, giggle, be offended, or, alternately, call my Mom. None of which seemed like a good plan.

But really what does F stand for for me right now?

I'm drawing a blank on F words that I want to talk about. Fashion? Nope. Furniture? Nope. The Bay of Fundy? Never been there. Fish? Not really.

Oh, hey! I thought of one! F is for Fans.

I know, it's a little lame, but next time you're travelling, especially if you're travelling somewhere warmish, take a fan with you. You know, one of those paper folding fans? They're totally awesome when you're somewhere with no air conditioning or breezes and you think you might faint like the southern belle you really are. And you wouldn't believe the jealous looks you get when all the hot sweaty people realize you have your own, portable breeze.

Well, I'm assuming they were jealous looks. I wasn't really paying attention, I was too busy feeling cooooooooooooool.

Updated: Aaaaaand just after I finished writing this post I realized that F is for Food, of course! So, maybe another F post if I get around to it.

F is for fun!

The Bay Of Fundy is very cool, the Hopewell Rocks are amazing. I missed the tidal bore by about 10 minutes when I was there, but it leaves something for me to see next time. If you get to the East Coast it is definitely a highlight. :)

Good tip about the fans, I am sure those people were insanely jealous of you. I know I would have been.

F *is* for fun, how could I have missed that?

I'll have to make it out to the East Coast sometime, for sure. Maybe a cross country drive one of these years :)

Yeah, but I don't own any, so I could only talk about my deep envy for them.

F reminded me of Jonathan Ross's celeb talk show last night, which we caught the end of.

He was interviewing the guy who hosted Miss World for years (Michael Aspel) and asked if anything ever happened with the girls in the pageant.

After hearing a non commital "I might have been slightly involved" comment, he straight out asked..

"Did you f*ck her?" :p

lol

Jonathan Ross is the most highly paid member of staff at the BBC by quite some margin - and he's worth it.
