I was struggling through a reconciliation and finally had a breakthrough and found my difference. As I went back to clean up the various ad hoc comparisons and calculations I had thrown hither and yon, I saw the profound and inscrutable text that makes up the thread title. What could it mean? As I pounded my head against the proverbial wall, did a nugget of genius escape through my fingers to the spreadsheet?

I daren’t keep it to myself, just in case.

Right. The OP is lucky I recognized her username. I usually just reflexively vaporize threads with titles like this one (and ban the spammer).😉

The words were ‘aahopr deit’.

Q: Was he an ‘Ass-Hopper’?  
Does your Ass now need ‘Deet’ as in… does it need Ass-Hopper repellent?

Please don’t answer… it sounds a lot like a personal note…

Any chance it’s related to the diet of the animal in the Aquatic Ape Hypothesis? Old Pears & Rats, maybe?

You ever get the fantods?

One thing is that the letters in both “words” are in alphabetic order. So I would suspect they are anagrams. The second is an anagram for “diet”, “edit”, “tied”, or “tide”. Don’t know about the first, although if it had another A, it’d be one for “arapaho”.

That’s why Caine wandered the desert. He thought Master Po was calling him “grasshopper” all this time. 😃

Hmm. Maybe I had a brainstorm for an alternative to the paleo caveman diet. The Pharoah Diet. I could make millions…?

If you take the whole phrase and remove one “a”, it’s an anagram of “Aphrodite”. If you keep all the letters, it’s an anagram of “hard opiate”.

Not sure if this helps.

I may have been wishing for a hard opiate to help me with the rec. Good call.

No, no. The American Pharoah Diet. You eat like a horse.
