She was studying about penguins, and she was listing the natural predators of the penguin, one of which was the SKUA. She said the word over and over, and she was little, and we figured she just had something wrong, because it didn't ring a bell with either of us.

I enjoyed TART, but not for its clue, and TUSH for obvious reasons, plus that it crosses with TALC. Everyone loves a WHITEBOARD, but who thinks of Cheryl TIEGS nowadays? BUNNYSUIT brought back fond memories of New Bedford native Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf. No, I've not, as yet, tried CRABBALLS, and depending on my mood I may not turn one down.Huygenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14539030936919012404noreply@blogger.com
