Screeched

1. To cry out in a high-pitched, strident voice.
2. To make a sound suggestive of a screech: Tires screeched on the wet pavement.

"Screeched" is also apparently the longest one-syllable word in the English language.

Coincidentally, the iTunes Music Store just got screeched: Apple has added the first season of Saved by the Bell to their downloadable TV Show offerings (not that us Canadians can get any Bayside on our side of the border just yet).

I could definitely spend the full 10 minutes it would take to watch the 30 second previews of each episode, but was shocked to hear a crazy over-the-top version of the theme song in episode 20. Not that the original was mellow or anything, it's just that after watching thousands of SBTB episodes growing up, it actually hurt my ears to hear a different rendition.

Hey, nice weblog! Two things you may want to add...

The first is Back Links so that you can see the chatter behind you.

And the second would be Word Verification which may be useful in this world as it helps reduce comment spam.

Cheers!

Hey thanks, I'll look into the back links and see if that would be good to add.

As far as the word verification, I've had it turned on in other blogs I've been involved with (like my son's blog, which for some reason is an important target for spammers), but thought I'd prolong it for as long as possible on this one, just because it gives posting comments that extra bit of annoyingness.
