base

i want to use a new word that i was reminded of today while scanning my brother's friend's blog: dastardly!

it has this flair that makes me really excited when i read/hear it!

well, it did... until i double-checked the meaning (i don't want to misuse).

dictionary.com taught me that no, it does not mean "devious, coniving, and unmistakably brilliant in a bastardly way", like i'd hoped.

oh. no.

rather, "cowardly and malicious" was the correct definition. pathetic. how am i supposed to use that!?!

"last night at poker, I dastardly raised the bet to $50 to scare chris into folding." lies, all lies... i'm no dastardly person! i'm only malicious when i'm anything BUT cowardly! when i'm cowardly, i'm anything BUT malicious! i run like a scared puppy with my tail between my legs. sigh.

guess i don't get to use my fun, new word.

unless... unless bush is dastardly in tonight's debate! ooo! yeah! bring it!
