Word of the day: crackerjack

Yes, the word of the day on my google homepage is actually crackerjack, meaning "of striking ability or excellence". Well let me tell you that the teaching workshop that I went to today was great, due to our teacher, who was absolutely crackerjack. This workshop got me absolutely giddy about teaching and language learning.

PS What do you guys want for Christmas?

A full fake-meat goose. A to-goose? A goose-fu? This is never going to get off the ground unless I can think up a clever name.

P.S. Does #2 on your hot list indicate that you have seen Borat?
