Great word in a very funny sentence that evokes images of co-workers might have gone on to grin and bare it! - silveryaspen, 2008-11-24: 16:27:00

left the word 'that' out between co-worked and might. Aplogies to all! - silveryaspen, 2008-11-24: 16:28:00

blew it again ... but you get the gist of it. Freudian typos are plaguing me today! - silveryaspen, 2008-11-24: 16:29:00

I've gotten a few of those and probably sent one or two as well. - Mustang, 2008-11-24: 23:44:00

COMMENTS:

Could geerbloggle also be a Spoonerism of sorts on your words of beer, blog, goggle ... and maybe even the end of the word bottle as in beer bottle? I like it. Very creative ... and we don't see very many spoonerisms here. You might just have inspired more! - silveryaspen, 2008-11-24: 16:37:00

I think I remember doing something like that myself. - Mustang, 2008-11-24: 23:36:00
