I'm thinking of a word that rhymes with "home."

No knowledge of Latin derivations is required.

"Oh, Give me a home, where the bison do ____."

not roam. But I do enjoy watching the softball games between the deer and the antelope.

You dirty rat, you! Actually I should have written'earth,'not 'dirt.'

No luck on the rat part, but for earth, it's not loam.

The rat comment was because you made me look up Latin to check if you were right. I try not to use the computer to find answers. Maybe I should just go down to the beach and just look at the sea?

Or to a bar and watch a draft being drawn? Crambo's word is not foam.

Sorry to make you look up the Latin. I forget that others didn't have my classical education forced upon them. I thought about referring Chris Bridges but didn't think that would be helpful.

not roam, loam, or foam; in fact, it doesn't contain an a.

I guess it's time to go to the bookshelf and pull out the heavy volume.

Or go to St Paul's and appreciate the architecture.

What to do on this beautiful spring day? Do I stay inside to install some open source software on my computer or get outside and install some tchotchkes in my garden? Decisions, decisions ...

Crambo was not thinking of a tome or a dome. But I believe Jenni has got it. I had heard "tchotchkes" only in the sense of "bimbos," which leads to an entertaining mental image, but I see that they can refer to other things. So I thought of Gerald Arthur Cooper, not to mention an elegant Linux desktop. I've heard Banshee is pretty cool. Yes, Crambo's word was "gnome." Well done, Jenni, and over to you.

Thanks, Jim! Nothing further to see here. Move along now. New game here.
