15. Ah, the Asparagus Threads were so much fun & DU'ers are so
creative. Let's do it again sometime. Word games or wordplay is a great stress reliever.

18. I always love how he does that head shake & side glance
when he "pernounciates" it just right..

He said "per-schway-shun"..and then he smirked..as if to say "heh he heh..I nailed that word :)"

19. Etymology
Etymology: Middle English, to apply a warm substance to, from Late Latin fomentare, from Latin fomentum compress, from fovEre to heat, soothe; akin to Lithuanian degti to burn, Sanskrit dahati it burns

Not sure how it came to be used in the modern sense?

13. Cmon--everyone knows the ONLY reason he is saying foment
is cause Karl told him its definition was "meant fo"
And everyone knows that everything foments GWB ergo everything is "meant fo" GWB.
