New Country for Old Blog

Just checked in on our Flag Counter to see who has been visiting lately and noticed a new flag:

Antigua and Barbuda



At first I thought "What a pretty flag!"

My next thought was: "Wow, that looks like a woman looking through her sunburned thighs at the Caribbean sunset!"

kenspeckle

kenspeckle\ KEN-spek-uhl \ , adjective;
1. Conspicuous; easily seen or recognized.



Whatever the antonym/opposite of this word is, that's me.

That is, unless it's like "the opposite of gay is depressed". In that case, I guess that could be me.
