    For Heaven’s sake Mr. Malek, you’re on the Internet. You could have looked up the meaning of “sarsaparilla” in less time than it took you to post that comment.

    From Webster’s dictionary (m-w.com):

    sar…sa…pa…ril…la

    Pronunciation: “sas-p&-‘ri-l&, “s”rs-, -‘re-; “sa-s&-, “s”r-s&-

    Function: noun

    Etymology: Spanish zarzaparrilla, from zarza bush + parrilla, diminutive of parra vine

    Date: 1577

    3: a sweetened carbonated beverage flavored with sassafras and oil distilled from a European birch

    Dearest Right Honorable Vanessa in London:

    You wouldn’t troll a poor, lowly colonist, would you?

    Please consult a dictionary before misnaming your next Web log. It’s “sarsaparilla.”

    I already posted the Webster’s entry above.

    If you prefer common usage (how gauche!), consider that Google returns 6,540 entries for “sarsparilla” vs. 111,000 entries for “sarsaparilla.”

    Nice set of posts.

    I feel someone happier and confused for reading

    these posts; as my ex-gf explains to me, in my

    drunk state, to enjoy drink vodka you need to:

    “if you drink vodka the best thing to eat right

    after drinking is saulted cucumbers (not fresh

    ones)”

    Confused? I know I am, as the conversation

    continues.

    Note: I dont drink vodka, and yes, she is drunk

    too!
