The gnomes haven't done away with me just yet. No doubt they're stuffing their corncob pipes from the warm shelter of their well-hidden mushroom warrens. It occurred to me the other day that not only had it been awhile since I'd posted, but that I'd neglected a key gnomish word, and, well, let's just say I was flabbergasted (see what I did there?)
flab·ber·gast
ˈflabərˌɡast/
verb informal
surprise (someone) greatly; astonish.
"this news has left me totally flabbergasted"
