• This comic strip has made my day.
• Like Agnes, I can say anything with too many words, if need be. Got me through grad school. Not so useful in real life.
• And like Agnes, I wanted a pair of cowgirl boots. [Yippie-Yi-Yo-Ki-Yay] But, alas and alack, it was not to be.
• Yet, in my heart-of-hearts, I’m still Agnes– looking for the popularity “heaped upon those who are shod thusly.”

THE SPECTACLED BEAN 
I can be verbose too, but my older daughter has me beat! I like the word thusly.

You’ve always had me beat in the vocabulary category!

Margaret, “thusly” is my new fav word. I plan on using whenever possible henceforth. 🙂
Beth, I may have the vocabulary, but you have always been a much better speller than I am. I think your skill is much more useful in the real world.

I also like “thusly.” I like all those funky transition words: thusly, hithertofore, ergo. My students tell me that no one uses those words except the English majors. And then the English majors and I high-five. Because we’re awesome like that.

Stephanie, I like all sort of “odd” words. It makes talking and writing fun. Why be ordinary when there’s a whole OED full of possibility?

I have to say, I love my cowboy boots. Just now I am hoping for a pair in brown and turquoise.

Relyn, I’d love to have a pair in those colors. Coolness.
