Embiggen is a perfectly cromulent word.

To make bigger, to make larger, to make size increase.

Plagues & Pleasures on the Salton Sea


For anyone interested in the history and how-comes of the Salton Sea, this is an excellent documentary narrated by John Waters. You'll learn the history of the sink, and how anything that enters the sea, stays in the sea. You also get to see lots of colorful locals. Edutainment, about an hour long.

Whoa...that got me digging for a reference! First of all, what is cromulent, and who the hell is he quoting?
Research indicates that it is the town motto of Springfield.
Did I get it right? Do I win anything?




If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Did you see the new mud pots video? They were underwater until the dropping sea level exposed them, by mullet island... Near Minute 4 in the video...
