I love the word "grisly"... There's something so sinister about it... it conjures up all kind of images of macabre and ghastly things. Usually to do with people hurting people.

It's a word that perfectly describes the findings in this story about a woman who, on her death-bed, informed her children that she murdered her husband several years earlier, locked him in a freezer and shipped it to Massechusetts.

Who does that?

I mean really, If I'm going to get rid of a body, I'll dissolve it in acid or throw it in a fast flowing river, or a very deep quarry or something... not mail it across country. 1st class to Vancouver...

And who did she mail it to?

"Dear Great Auntie Doris...I never liked you, but Happy Birthday..."?

AAAAAND... Her kids may have bought her story about the car accident when they were tots, but did everyone else who knew this guy just say "OK....OK. That's sad" and not request to see the body or whatever??

AAAAAAND... this perp has the nerve to wait until she's about to pop her clogs to just casually mention it before floating downwards? If she were truly evil wouldn't she have wanted to stick around to at least see the reaction? In my mind it's a little rude and a lot selfish.

And I'm sure he was a nasty son of a gun and all - the men are always the bad ones...probably deserved it, but really...? We'll never really know. Maybe he stole one too many Werthers Originals, and that was the straw that broke he camels back? Maybe he kept forgetting to put the toilet lid down? Maybe he just left that tap dripping for a few seconds too long...

Grisly.

Gnarly.

That's another good word. Which can be used in so many different contexts.

Tree's are gnarly. Fingers can be gnarly... you know. Like Witches. they have gnarly extremities. Difficult things can be gnarly. Like ski-hills. Even crowds. Gnarly.

I have a work social to go to tonight. Bowling. Eating pizza. Drinking.

Golden rule for work socials?

Always stay slightly sobererererererer than your boss.

Slightly.

Otherwise it could get grisly and/or gnarly.
