A funny word or two.

First of all, I'd like to introduce a new buddy of mine, Chuzzle. Not only is it fun to say ("Chuzzzzzzzzle!"), but it's fun to play. You're presented with a square playing field filled with a grid of Chuzzles, which appear to be cute, brightly-colored balls of fur and googly eyes. The squeak, and the object is to slide the rows in order to match up groups of three or more like-colored Chuzzles. They then pop or disintegrate or otherwise clear up space on the board for more Chuzzles. Their eyes, however, float or fly over off the board, to a nearby vial. For every set of Chuzzle peepers you fly over to the vial, the liquid level inside it rises. When you fill it, thereby signalling the end of that level, the vial is corked and violently shaken. This, apparently, triggers a violent reaction, which causes the cork to fly off and a stream of rainbow liquid to go shooting skyward, propelling dozens of fearless little Chuzzle eyeballs into the heavens.

I think it's possibly some sort of fuzzy-creature funeral rite reenactment. Or something. It's cute, though.

Another funny word is Wonka, as in, the chocolate folk and the Roald Dahl creation, soon to be played by Johnny Depp. At work, they're doing a concession tie-in, so one of the candy choices for combos is now a Wonka bar. I think that a human being has reached a very state of existence when they can spend a night offering people a Wonka anything and keep a straight face.
