What, did Peter Griffin’s horny neighbor have an “accident?”
The soundbite name they gave to the mix of documents and urine found in Sandy Berger’s socks.
Below? I looked under my desk, and there’s nothing there except a tangle of power cords.
And some sunflower seed hulls that just won’t come out of the carpet, but I don’t think that’s the quagmire you’re referring to.
Bridget Moynahan
GG’s sock drawer.
Easy—it’s German for “farmer of quags.”
Next.
If this was a trick question, it’s not a good one.
Hmmm…German for farmer is Bauer. Jack Bauer. Can’t recall right offhand what Meier is, if it’s anything at all.
My bro-in-law is one (a German named Meyer), and I once assumed it meant “maker.” He told me it was archaic German for a wealthy farmer, IIRC.
I’d have to say the plotlineof Lost.
Meier is a german colloquialism meaning, roughly, “fool”.
“Call me Meier.”, as fat Hermann once said.
Life.
Any goverment policy titled “War On (fill in the blank)” that doesn’t, you know, use the f’ing military?
Maybe the internets know:
So, apparently, my bro-in-law is at least partially correct.
So we got the mire part, but the question remains, what exactly is a quag? Is it like a lispsily-pronounced rocky promonotory? Or is is a closely related but extinct relative of the modern armadillo?
Or is it a verb, as in, “Quag like that once more, Junior, and you’re spending the rest of the meal in the car waiting for the adults to finish! We can’t take you anywhere!”
“Quag” is what a duck says when it has a cold.
A. The war on drugs
A. Cutting LA’s 1,000 annual murders
A. Rene Gonzalez looking for love
A. Getting Congress to make tax cuts permanent
The Chappaquidick school of congressional driving?
So “quag” is obviously short “Chappequidiquag” or maybe a “Gulaquag”? Or even a snot “quid”?
The Okefenokee?
The congressional majority. The Democrats need to pull out NOW!
I had the impression that a Meier was a clockmaker, but I don’t recall where I learned that.
His brother Oscar is a wiener.
I can’t help wondering… is it just a coincidence that the last two letters of “quag” also form the initials of a certain former VP?
Or have I just been PWned too long now?
