I have a set of Monty Python VHS video tapes. I think there are 15 of them (am not at home so can't check but each box of the set contains several videos and there are three boxes.) Anyway, it is supposed to be the complete series. I've never watched them because I also have the complete set in DVD. Would love to trade with someone for some new reading material ......

:rofl:

I LOVE Python! I'll trade you anything- how about my first born son? :giggle:

Anything on my bookshelf is yours, just name it. Or how about a slew of books on your wishlist? (how many is a slew anyway?) I'd even be willing to bid on them.

:o :rofl: LJ. :whip: :rofl:

what's a slew?

a slew is a lot of something- like a slew of books in my TBR :lol:
Noun 1. slew - (often followed by `of') a large number or amount or extent;
Verb 1. slew - turn sharply; change direction abruptly;
2. slew - move obliquely or sideways, usually in an uncontrolled manner;

and the past tense of "slay"

so I slew my car, slewing into a bookstore, where I slew the owner and hit a slew of books. Isn't English fun? nothing ever means just one thing.

English is crazy... I would also add:

slough –noun
1. an area of soft, muddy ground; swamp or swamplike region.
2. a hole full of mire, as in a road.
3. Also, slew, slue. Northern U.S. and Canadian. a marshy or reedy pool, pond, inlet, backwater, or the like.

Since I'm Canadian, I do pronounce this word the same way as I do "a slew of books". My family were farmers and this was actually a word I heard a lot growing up.

YAY! they got here and we are already enjoying them! Your books should be there soon.
Thank you so much!

Glad they arrived safely. It is good to think they went to someone who'd appreciate them.
