The Daily Flingo

Carl's Flingo on inside jokes and Jeff Foxworthy knock-offs




If Corona makes up 25% of your diet...

If, when making pasta, you eschew a pink sauce for a nice crema rosa...

If the time between 5am and 1pm are about as real to you as Santa Claus...

If you get twitchy if you don't refresh ESPN.com every fifteen minutes (that you're awake)...

If you're fiancee did that Snakes On A Plane thing in the white dress on YouTube...

If you're going to be married in less than a month...

If your pronunciations of croissant and quesadilla are impeccable...

If terrorists raid your tower of uncleaned dishes for biological weapons...

If you have a beer and chug it or have a shot and knock it back...

If you're the newest writer for The Daily Flingo*...

Em's Flingo on Shmoopie... Shmoopy.. Schmoopy? How are we spelling this, guys?

I want to contribute to this (hilarious) Shmoopy-abuse, but I'm tired. I just worked 8 hours at the Grand Library, shuttling stupid dissertations back and fourth from Doheny. (Never get a PhD, guys. Nobody wants your dissertation. We don't need anymore fucking dissertations.) Now I get to spend the next 6 hours studying for a research methods test. Yes, my life sucks. You know what I want more than anything in the world now?







Sounds like a party to me.

Lindsay's Flingo on Shmoopy

As we all know, Shmoopy may soon be joining our blog. I'd like to reiterate the importance of Shmoopy passing all tests to become part of Flingo, not only to maintain our high standards of excellence...but for his own safety. When Shmoopy has to go out on a jungle safari to Flingo on poison-dart frogs, I want to make sure he knows which Apostle denied Christ 3 times before the cock crowed...(and which one only did it twice before the cow crowed.) It's for his safety, you see.

Anyhow, that's enough of that. What I'd really like to talk about is the etymology of Shmoopy.

Now, clearly, Shmoopy is a bastardized form of the Hebrew Schmoopenheim, which means "large ankles."

Orville Redenbacher, of the famous popcorn of Valparaiso, IN, used the pet name "Shmoopy" for his wife, Greta Schmoopenheim Redenbacher. He called her this mostly because Greta is an ugly name that means "woman with mustache," and he didn't think it boded well.

Greta loved cream sauces, apples, and she was totally delish on the eyes. Yes, she wore a housecoat. They were very happy together, and Shmoopy lived a long, thick-ankled life, free of facial hair.
