2. Pete – August 5, 2006 LOL you have used interrupt when you meant to say intepret Reply
3. Bill Rice – August 5, 2006 Corrected. Actually you meant interpret, not intepret. We are all foulable. My point, take pride in it and be willing to correct it. Thanks for pointing out the error. Hopefully you enjoy the blog! Reply
4. Daniel – July 3, 2007 You have used ‘foulable’ when you meant to say ‘fallible’. Reply

Re: foulable for fallable!!!

Here’s a simbling. Fallacy most foul. ‘Fallacy’ and ‘fallibility’ come from the same root in L.

To say that all the cods are exactly the same is a foulacy no matter how much the cod haters want to make it seem like that.

Anything said can be called a foulacy and therefore ignored…

Re: foulable for fallable!!!

Moving on to the ph:

14 Apr 2009 – I’m not a popsicle kinda guy I think it’s the combonation of a stick and a foulic symbol all in one delectible treat that just seems off putting.

other disney movies that have made some controversy simply because there were subliminal messages and the occassional foulic symbol.

“Combonation” has a groovy hip jazzy sound to it.
