Today I died a little bit
There are so many reasons why this is just so very wrong.
Most obviously, EVOO is not a word. It isn't even an acronym. When people start saying, 'Eevooooo,' instead of, 'Eee vee oh oh,' I'll consider it a valid acronym. Before that, nope.
Secondly, and what has always bugged me to death about EVOO, is that Rachel (Can I call you Rachel?) always *always* follows, 'Eee vee oh oh,' with, 'Extra virgin olive oil.' This completely defeats that purpose of inventing ones own contraction since it takes her twice as long to use the word if she explains what it means each and every time.
Arrrrgh! Now I'm just too angry to think about it any longer! Argh!
Many thanks to Leah for pointing me to this article. And killing me just a little bit.

I second everything you just said. And everything Lorena said - the new tattoo looks amazing. My husband is jealous of Chris's Dark Mark.
heheh...i'm just wondering how many times i've actually told you about something yummy i saw on Rachel's show (i assume i can use her first name since aunt barbara bought me her "yum-o!" t-shirt), and i've heard the EVOO rant...i love that it's made it to your blog because i swear, it's only been in like 100 emails or so...
oh, and still, way cool snitch (i just love that it sounds kinda dirty, yet it's kinda geeky)!

On the other hand, you have a great new tattoo.
