MEL & EL VOCABULARY LESSON NUMBER 22*

* Today's lesson is more of a suggestion based on the unbelievable boredom we currently feel with seeing "LOL" written ever. 
It's a New Year. We need to switch it up.

LOTO \'lot-oh\ n: acronym which stands for Laughing On The Outside most often called upon to be used during electronic communication. Variations include LOTI (Laughing On The Inside) and L (Laughing) which we believe is all that's necessary when experiencing humor. Alternatively, one could just choose to physically laugh and move on. Or write "ha".

Thank You (or, our Holy S#!t Moments)

Dance! Mel in a maternity snowsuit. El in a hooker's pajamas.

We don't toss around the word "Holy" the way Miss Oprah does. I mean, she has a meditation room and lunches with the Dalai Lama so we figure she's earned it. The closest we get to a Holy Moment is when we're on stage together performing songs like "Well Hung Fetus" and "I Wanna Marry A Dolphin". Maybe we should call them "Holy S#!t Moments". They are what make us happy and joyful and, we guess, that's as close to "Holy" as we're gonna get. Works for us! We've been lucky to have a whole lot of those moments this year and we have loved every single second of them. Except for that one show where...naw, we're grateful for that one, too.
