Don't let this thread follow the MC one!

(Edited to make link a bit tidier : good call, Karl! - Smudgie}

As it is a new page and this is not at the top of the previous one. I think it is perhaps useful to repost.

Well Genesis seemed to think there was a connection between magma and boogie when they wrote their classic (YMMV) song 'Dance on a Volcano'.

The chilli, pepper and ginger lime chutney my grandmother used to make could cause actions very like your dad boogieing at that embarrassing family party twenty years ago.

The idea that device driver debugging involving hardware interrupts is helped by any kind of food products is pure horsefeathers I'm afraid.

If you're on belay, it means you're climbing, therefore, going up. There's nowhere higher up the candle (or better for saying that two unrelated things *have* to be related because of some folk etymology) than the remnants of Ecclesiantics, so climb on!

(Ahem..) Let's try that again... (sorry, messed up)

It's better to use pr*o*per belaying techniques rather than hoping feathers might cushion your fall.

Ferrari

Now Traveller, you have to link the words Ferrari and belay, then you can use your unrelated word counterpoint

Why, only yesterday at the local watering hole we were arguing the merits of various pub foods, when the waiter slammed down a plate of haggis shouting, "counterpoint!"

To which I say,

An aquamarine haggis would be even more nauseating in prospect than a haggis of the normal colour.

No reason that you can't have a database in a spritely aquamarine font.

Have you forgotten that words are not supposed to have a link in this game, unlike the piggish nature of every damned database application I've ever had the misfortune to *****ister.

In the spirit of Purgatory, the name "daffodil" is derived from an earlier "affodell", a variant of Asphodel. The reason for the introduction of the initial "d" is not known, although a probable source is an etymological merging from the Dutch article "de," as in "De affodil." From at least the 16th century, "Daffadown Dilly", "daffadown dilly", and "daffydowndilly" have appeared as playful synonyms of the name.

So now you know.

Progesterone is a very important hormone to know about when you're working out what reception your Daffodils are likely to get.

Did you know that progesterone production by LH (whatever that is) from Salamanders is lower than when LH is taken from Bullfrogs? No neither did I until I googled it.

Salamanders, in myth, can withstand heat - and I'm sure you'll agree that coffee should be hot, unless iced.

I could request that Marv change my custom title to Ship's Horseshoe Bat

But I SHAN'T

Because it would be silly to go through the next 'n' years as that just to make a post here.

If you ask Marvin for a set of silly custom titles, be careful what you ask for, he may surprise you like what happens to a new chess player who finds out that their pawn has fallen victim to an en passant capture.
