Telephonic Minstrelsy
oil steam
— A conversation about pressure cookers (I don’t get it either)
a day of breadth
— describing a qualifying exam (followed by a day of depth, apparently)
jabbaneck
— inspired by the cat and a star wars villain. (how else to describe it when she awkwardly lays on her back?)
blazing brides
— Another portmanteau: this one of movies. (hint: Brooks and Elwes….which kind of sounds like a folk duo!)
dragonwagon
— Actual surname of the author of a vegetarian cookbook. (one wonders what a vegetarian dragon breathes in lieu of fire….chipotle hummus, perhaps)
chemicals of concern
— An NPR story about autism. (and these were some concerning scenarios…)
scald my heart
— an averted accident (although to be fair I was only in danger of scalding his hand…)
The Dirty New Pornography Projectors
— a facebook-inspired portmanteau (also: see if you can parse out the two apparently real band names hidden in the title!)
