   “Ambulatio” could work, as a nominative noun that means a “walk” or “stroll,” though there are probably also alternatives that would work just as well if not better contextually. And if we’re being really pedantic, “ambulatio” is singular, so since “walkies” is plural, the plural form of “ambulationes” would be a more fitting equivalent.

   My first instinct was honestly to search for a verb instead, but I suppose “walkies” is a noun in English, so…probably don’t need the verb form then. :P

   Yeah, I was going to say, it’s actually Greek (the “-os” suffix is a dead giveaway, honestly), and obviously does NOT mean “having a good time.” If anything, quite the opposite, as the term, in the original Greek, mostly just meant “confusion” or “disorder.”

   No, Abby’s onto something. I remember being in a class and getting taught about the basics of passover (I forget the reason why, but I know it had made perfect sense to in the context of the class—might’ve been a history class), samples of precisely that were brought in for the class to try, so to get a sense of what it was like for practicing Jews. And it seemed to work well in getting the point across to the class.

   Eh, depends on the school. Last I heard, my local school district isn’t that particular about it. They trust their students, apparently.

   Well, what can you say, Spud? You’re tasty, especially with a bit of dipping sauce!

   Given all the dust traditionally inside vacuum bags, I’d imagine anyone of them with allergies are having a heck of a time too.

   Well, the Babylonians were thought to be ahead of their time, so… :P

   The real test would be whether or not they have mammillary glands…and I sure ain’t gonna be the one who checks. :P

    So now goblins just randomly stop by Phoebe’s place on whims. Just goes to show just how integrated Phoebe has become in the magical creature community (or at least the goblin side of it).
