Chook it out
There was a delightful gathering of blogging types last night. M & M, Rachael, Brad, Dee and Jen all came along. They really are a brilliant bunch of people. Last time I met Dee, she was very hungover and fragile, and I thought we'd all overwhelmed her. But last night she was in tiptop condition and incredibly witty.
Some highlights: Monkey chasing after a barman who cleared up our glasses before she'd finished her drink, Jen learning Zippo lighter tricks from Brad, Jen and Dee's ultrafoxy t-shirts with WENCH emblazoned across the chest. Handpainted and all.
I was in a weird mood all night and kept saying really stupid things. At one point Brad accused me of never reading his site.
"I check your site, dammit."
"You do not!"
"I chook it last night!"
Like 'take' is to 'took', the past tense of 'check' is chook. Of course.

Ooh, incredibly witty? *preens*
Meanwhile, it was wonderful to meet you again, this time while fully appreciating the experience. Just fantastic! :-)
PS: Email that chick about the book! (Told you I would.)
And lets not forget the "swooping ducks" :-P
*lol* chook! *G* this has so made my morning better
I like it when new words, or new versions of words, are spontaneously created. It shows our language is alive and well, growing and evolving, and not one of 'em dying languages like French.
"Chook" is cool, but I have to vote for "choke" as the past tense for "check."
What's all this talk about needing to e-mail a chick about a book? This wouldn't have anything to do with your novel would it?
"I chook it last night!"
You know whose fault that is, don't you?
The Mothership!
Slightly extending the idea: would used cling film be 'clung film'?
And I know it doesn't follow, but I'd like it if the plural of 'toothbrush' was 'teethbrush'
