Odd memory triggers.

I joined WordPress, people. But then was too lazy to make anything of it.

Here are some strange ways in which I am remembering greek words (bear with the transliteration):

peripateo: made me think of peri peri sauce. i walk... to Nando's.
ikanos: i can... sufficient, enough.
palaios: palace... old
krateo: not i grab... i take hold of
klaio: white people cry. asian people cly. i weep. this one made me laugh forever.
enduo: i endure... to put on
peitho: i pethuade... saying persuade with a lisp
tuphlos: it is hard to floss... when you're blind
perisseuo: i abound in sigmas
loipos: loiter... remaining
plousios: surplus... rich

And so on. Sounds ridiculous but it's working.

Also, this post is dedicated to Vincent Chan who apparently reads every one.
