Well, here we are at the beginning of the new series, and it is going to be HUGE. That's right , huge, which coincidentally, is also the theme of this episode. Now, I have made big plans for this series - like the last series, it will also feature ten regular episodes, but I am going to include two video episodes as well, that's twelve whole episodes, and possibly a couple of specials as well. Now, this season, instead of three words each week, I am going to feature four, as well as the usual Quote and Man of the Week. After this first episode, for the next 6 episodes, I am going to showcase my favourite words for each letter of the alphabet, with the first and last of the six episodes featuring five words, just so it all fits in. Well, after that ridiculously long ramble, here it is - Word of the Week Series 2:
Words of the Week:
Gargantuan- huge or bulky, originally derived from the name of the giant Gargantua.
Elephantine- extremely large, as big as an elephant.
Brobdingnagian- of huge size, derived from Brobdingnag, a country in "Gulliver's Travels", where everything was enormous.
Leviathan- anything of immense size or power.
Quote of the Week: "I think people tend to forget that trees are living creatures. They're sort of like dogs. Huge, quiet, motionless dogs, with bark instead of fur." - Jack Handy
Man of the Week: King Kong- Well, to fit in with the theme of the wekk, I couldn't really think of anyone else who was really big. But apart from that, it was a great film, both the original and the remake, especially the remake, that's given me some of my favourite movie moments of all time, and the effects - both visual and audio - are amazing, and so is the sound track, so if you haven't seen it, do.
Well, that changed from Man of the Week to a shameless ad for King Kong, but anyway, that's what I'm all about, being shameless. That's it for this week, any feedback would be much appreciated, and if you have any suggestions as to what I should put in an episode, contact me, either through comment or PM.
On an unrelated note, could people stop sending me union invites, if I haven't joined by now, I'm most likely not going to.
Well, school starts tomorrow, so I won't be on as much during the week, so see you next time everyone, and keep grinnin'. :D
