I don’t have a way to introduce the term directly, so I’ll tell the real story instead.
I have as a Facebook friend a woman who I’ve known since first grade, and like me, her sense of humor is rather puckish and often self-deprecating as an adopted persona. Yesterday, she sent me an e-mail where she used the term ‘reconstruction’ as a synonym for ‘purtification’.
I have now adopted it as my own. After turning purple from laughter. 
I just saw on her FB page that everyone got a ride on the new coaster! She was in the front seat. She was so excited and grateful to Kennywood! She’s a silverhaired woman. She lost her leg in a car accident a few years ago, driving home from work, so it’s wonderful to see her happy and enjoying life.
Happy bday picnurse!!!
:eek: bobbio!!!
Hippo Birdie, Two Ewes, piccy!
And Happy Mumper Humper Day to alla resta ya!
moooooooom, I’m with ya on the knees thing. Where are all the beginner classes with real beginners.
Tupug
In my (lame) defense, it took me an hour after the exchange for my mind to get that evil.
ETA: I texted the girl back this morning, asking if she finally dumped him. No response…
[Animaniacs] Hellloooo, Nurse! [/Animaniacs] Happy birthday to ewe! 
Oh, no you dint!
Her? She and her partner have been goombas of ours for ages! I once bought the shirt right off her back once at Phunfest! Use that event and she’ll make the connection right off the bat. She is a sweetheart of the first order. Most of us worked out beads or prayers or vibes overtime when she had the wreck and never was someone more celebrated than her when she made her return to Knoebels. My life-problems aren’t a pimple on all she’s gone through - I just wish I had half her class at dealing with them.
OhyesIdid!
NO WAY!!! (dashes over to Facebook to ask about Phunfest).

Jules for infestin’ the MMP with that ear worm I am afraid I shall be forced to place my standard curse upon you. May you endure a lifetime of painful papercuts. I know it’s a harsh curse but it’s the one I got and I only use it when forced, forced, I say! 
Seriously, is today picu’s for real bday or is it tomorrow? I am confusded by an earlier post of hers.
I checked on some job leads and did a buncha errands. I braved :eek: Wally*World and Sam’s Club! :eek:
BBQ sammiches and slaw for dindin tonight. BBQ is thawin’ and I already made the coleslaw. Go Me!
Happy birthday, picu!
We went out for dinner last night with the guy who’s my coworker and one of the co-owners of our plane and his wife. We had Afghan. YUM! Now I get to look forward to leftover Afghan food for lunch!
I’m bringing the pecan cake with the chocolate glaze in to work after lunch today. I’ll report back on how it tastes.
Poor Muppet! I hope her arm heals up fast.
It’s the 24th, tomorrow. I’ve been writing dates one day ahead for a week. I wonder what day I slept through?
Hubby and I are off to celebrate my unbirthday in Sequim with the in-laws. Mamma-in-law is newly diagnosed with parkinson’s and daddy-in-law in slightly senile, so it should be much like Alice’s unbirthday.
(Aaaa VERY merry unbirthday to me, to ME!) I hope we run into the caterpillar…
Bobbio, I’m going to show my ignorance… what does “purtification” mean? or is it mis-spelled? I tried to Google it, but only got “purification”.
Jewels – iffin you only knew!!! Very appropriate for amusement park geeks! <laughing at a joke me and Soapy get>
Paper cuts? Nooooooooo! Not the paper cuts curse! How could you be so crew-el!
Kopek: heh heh heh 
It means trying to make yourself as purty as Swampy??? 
A very happy unbirthday to you, Picu! 
I’m thrilled that the US made it through to the next stage in the World Cup (Hey, I am a very long term ex-pat! The only team I’d support against that US would be the Israeli team. And they haven’t made it to the W.C. in 40 years :()
I’m kind of miffed at the English making it through (
at Boo) – I was kind of hoping for an implosion of French proportions… Oh well…
Healing vibes sent out to Muppet! :eek:
Ivory, **Kopek **and *especially ***Juliana **-- people who give other people earworms are evil. Just sayin’.
I disavow any responsibility for said, future or related earworms on the MMP, SDMB or any of it’s partners or subsidiaries.
Hi Lunch!
It’s a Swampyism, actually. It’s all that stuff you do in the bathroom to get ready for work or going out in public.
That’s okay, guys. I’ve already gotten a papercut today. I won’t forget…
(muahahahahah)
My neck is hurting. 
I hope that a nap will help.
