When you find yourself in danger

I’ve been rewatching episodes of Jay Ward’s Super Chicken on YouTube, in all their blurry transfer-from-video glory. Several of them are breaking-the-fourth-wall (-screen?) genius, and all are hilariously silly.

Super Chicken’s long-suffering majordomo/sidekick is Fred, who has a penchant for replying “Roger Wilcox” to Super Chicken’s directions. I wonder which comedic savant added the “x” to the well-known “Roger, Wilco”.

Anyway, I’ll do what I can to reintroduce Roger Wilcox into the world.

Another word we need

hwæt-hwega: adv., something, somewhat, a little.

Teachers understand that errors in their learners’ output are normal and complex. They can be… a misapplication of an analogy (e.g., if “let’s do lunch” is correct, then “let’s do sandwich” should be fine also).

Oh, the weather outside is frightful

Be advised that I will do what I can to make “colder than Harry’s todger” a thing.
