STARTER:

Please spell the word which means a solitary and irrational fear of today's day and date. Or at least, the word which means a solitary and irrational fear of the number in today's date....

Triskaidekaphobia.

Good Christie.

According to the universally correct Wikipedia, the longer words, of which I was unaware, are

Paraskevidekatriaphobia and

Friggatriskaidekaphobia.

So, you meant to spell it wrong, just like the rest of us, and the correct spelling was a typo?

Or I just got lucky! Which is true for my answers for FNGD in general.

I have really liked some of the varieties they have come up with. Rosemary and Olive Oil, etc.

I do like them all!

I tried the Rosemary and Oil, and I tried some other bizarre flavor. I didn't like either. I prefer the original recipe flavored with straw and library paste.

For a minute I thought Annie had hijacked your computer!

But then she has better taste than that!

Annie loves to share my Triscuits and cheese! She knows tasty stuff when she sniffs it.

There should be a rule about not screwing with Triscuits.
