When we adopted Ozzy we took a family vote on whether to keep his name or change it. I wanted to change it but lost the vote 2-1. Over time Ozzy has developed into Osbourne, Osborneo, Bjorn dog, Bjornin, Binny, Binbob, Bin Laden, Benjamin, Benjammin, Benjamminanineeno, Benbob and too many more to list. And believe it or not the dog answers to all of these.
This morning Ozzy was a happy dog playing with his new rawhide bone. Chewing it, hiding it, finding it, hiding it again. Rick came into the room and said to Ozzy, "Where's your binbone, Benbob? Binbob, where's your benbone?" And Ozzy knew exactly what he meant and promptly retrieved his binbone.
Other examples of Andersonese:
If something is chicken, it is small. Examples: He sure drives a chicken car. They live in a chicken house. I don't want to eat there, they have chicken steaks!
If something is a Waaaaaaaah, it is extraordinarily large, as in a very long french fry. If you are eating fries with someone and you come accross a very long one you should hold it up for all to see and say Waaaaaaah!
If something is a Haaaaaaaah, it is an extraordinary accomplishment. Example: When Lauren's skating team won the gold medal in Italy I believe Rick's first word to her was Haaaaaaah!
That's all for today. I don't want to overwhelm you. But you will be quizzed next time I see you.
