No Blog Entry Today as I am Sick as a Dog

American English idioms may be lost on our blog readers in Uzbekistan, so we will refer to the NPR radio series "Way with Words" http://www.waywithwords.org and the ever-hip Urban Dictionary http://www.urbandictionary.com or perhaps even the Scrabble dictionary http://www.scrabble.com

We got this image when we googled in the term: "Dogs in Turkey," but we are not sure if this fella is from Malatya, Erzurum or Kars (forgive the Turkish humor). We imagine dogs in Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan look fairly similar to this one?!

We shall try to post a more meaningful blog post when this nasty cold has left the building.....

Blogging in Three and a Half Minutes (or less).....Those Silly Board Games

We were initially going to go with Colonel Mustard, a character from the board game "Clue," which was actually made into a film! Of course, it wasn't that good. But, instead we are going with an image of Sherlock Holmes.

Our question today is which one of these board games was our favorite game during our youth.

And, greeting today to our blog readers in South Africa, Israel, Dubai, Malaysia and France.

Is the answer:

A)  Clue

B) Trivial Pursuit

C) Scrabble

D) Operation

E) Monopoly
