"Vacuum" is a weird word. Why does it have two U's? Are there other words with two U's in a row? I can think of any except for a German band called Amon Duul. I think that's what they're called, anyway.

Weird is a weird word, too. I before E, except after C? Um, well, not in this case.

I'm a little wired about that, too, Jackie.
Disparate.I like the word "disparate". I just used it in a letter (nothing to do with GR, a professional thing).
Cacophony always irritates me - I want it to be "KAK-uh-fohn-EE" but my boss always corrects me and says it's "Kuh-COF-uh-nee."
All this talk is leaving a residuum on my brain.
I do love "maniacal," though - the pronunciation seems to have a bit more ummph than the word on paper.
Ooh. Points for Jim.I don't like cacaphony, either. Did I spell that wrong? My computer says I did.
Cacophony. I didn't know that spelling, either.
What about catastrophe? It looks like the cat is a trophy.
I like how some East Europeans pronounce maniac."MON yock"
I've always thought jodhpurs was a weird word, too. Am I even spelling it right?
What exactly is a jodhpur? My computer says it's wrong. Let me try plural. Jodhpurs. Oh, that works. Has to be plural.
Jods are mostly worn by young kids (with short boots) or by saddle-seat riders. They're the ones that traditionally flared out at the thigh.
They have been largely replaced for most adult riders by breeches, which are worn with tall boots.
"Breeches" sounds dirty. Or rednecky. Can't decide.
Jodhpurs are a weird word for some weird looking pants.
Is there a jodhpurs fetish, you think? I assume there's a fetish for just about everything.
There MUST be a fetish, because, just look at them!
So, do they make the butt look smaller or bigger - the jury is still out. If they make the butt look smaller, then I seriously need to work on adding some to my wardrobe.
I go with bigger. Look at those big butts. It's the two-tone thing.
Well, they all seem to have flat asses to me.
And yes, there's got a big a fetish. I agree.
But I'm not googling it. I know better.
But does the twotone thing make them look wider?
Definitely no J-Los in that bunch... just sayin'.
Oh, hey! It's 9/9/09! Where will you be at 9:09 p.m?
Those are "full seat", in which the thicker leather patch goes up over the butt/crotch. They look dorky, but they're very comfortable. More padding, and more stick to the saddle. They're mostly used for dressage. The Spanish Riding School wears suede full seat breeches with suede saddles for extra glue. So they can do this:
If you ride hunters/jumpers, you wear the kind where the leather is only a knee patch, like so:
Sarah Pi, you seem to know quite a lot about jodhpurs. It fact, you gave a full wikipedia definition for them including pictures.Now I wanna know if you have a jodhpur fetish.
No fetish. I have spent my whole life around horses. The pony in message 20 is mine (though I am neither rider).
Sarah Pi is quite the horse and horseback riding enthusiast, if I'm not mistaken. It's her area of expertise... along with RAWK.
How come your horse but no you?
