I hear so many good things about the XBox, and I have yet to get one myself. Maybe with my first AdSense check I can finally join in the fun!

Hi, i came from stumble. This fruit is very popular in brazil. In fact , in brazil when you say someone is talking nonsense you say he’s talking abobrinha (wich is Zucchini in portuguese )
Its also that food that you used to hate when you were a kid and your mom made you eat

I don’t know how SFII will be online, but I played SFIII and the itty bitty lag I experienced changed the whole game. (SFIII really requires spot on timing for the whole thing to work).

I signed up and then went to the thread, signed up and then realized it was over. Well, I would have signed up anyway.

Excoclick sounds good, but I’m still with Adsense; I’m almost at my 3rd $100!
About guest blogging, my email server crashed, and I was literally waiting for it to un-crash. Sorry about that, if you were waiting for a reply! (I can still receive emails, because I have email forwarding to another account.)
So if you would like to write the post now and send it (keep a backup copy just in case!) to my email address grace@neonscent.com I can timestamp it for a later date. (You can put your own links in, your own biography, etc.)

In fact zucchini and courgette are the same, yes!
Courgette is the french word for it and it is used also in Netherlands. Zucchini comes from the italian word ‘zuccha” which means ‘pumpkin’ and ‘zucchina’ is just the “nice word” meaning ‘little pumpkin’. So the origin of the word is italian, which is used as ‘zucchini’ in a lot of other languages.

Rhys, you do realise that zucchuni is just the American word for courgette? Like diaper / nappy
