The other day, I looked at the grocery list by the back door and noticed that the only two items on the list were garlic and tonic. I said to W., "we need more groceries ending in IC". He said aspic. We put out the call for more. Here’s what we’ve got so far, thanks to wordy family members:Garlic
Tonic
Aspic
Picnic ham
Ethnic food
Alcoholic beverages
Turmeric
Boric acid
Acetic acid
Gum arabic
Vlasic pickles
Balsamic vinegar
Arsenic
And one piece of "cooking" equipment: alembic
And someone noted: “If you eat too much garlic, aspic and tonic, you might need a colonic. Or an emetic.”
Got any more?
If you won't nitpick about the -ic and -ick, then I think you need some:
ReplyDeletetoothpicks
chopsticks
broomsticks
novels, gothic
lipstick
haggis, celtic
bags, plastic
traps for attic
movie, epic
acid, folic
ruler, metric and yardstick
child-rearing book, love & logic
eraser, magic
medicine for carsick
chicken drumstick
I'll stop there before I geek out either of us any further.
LOL
or if you eat all that stuff together, it might give you colic!
ReplyDeletelol!! i love this list!
ReplyDeleteFunny! I love word games. Other than the alcoholic tonic, nothing on your list sounds all that good to me!
ReplyDeleteAnd what about that nasty little nick that bleeds unmercifully when you're crazy-pressed for time? Don't forget to jot down SEPTIC pencil! Dabbing at it with a blob of Crest and hoping for the best is just not right...
ReplyDeleteAWESOME.
ReplyDeleteHi, I copied your grocery list board and made one similar to that :) Like the board very much! :) Thank you very much for the idea! :)
