Hornswaggle is an alternate spelling of hornswoggle, an archaic word that means to bamboozle or hoodwink. I take my pronunciation from the late Harvey Korman in "Blazing Saddles" -- "I want rustlers, cutthroats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, conmen, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswagglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass kickers, shit kickers and Methodists!" |

Sunday, November 21, 2010Hornswaggler Jr. Dear Reader(s): Sorry for the lack of posts. For once, I have a legitimate excuse: the birth of my son, Pierce, who is approaching two weeks old. He is a mostly benevolent overlord to his proud mother and father, whom he allows to sleep with some regularity. He's also a good eater. To paraphrase Captain McAllister: Tis no baby, tis a remorseless eating machine. .: posted by hornswaggler 11:24 AM| |
