    The top of his doghouse is more relaxing anyway.

    Do you mean “wracked up” as in twisted, Snoop?Wrack and wreak—two verbs that have almost vanished in favour of the homonyms rack and reek.Reek means “stink”.Rack means “to place on a rack.”Wrack, however, means “to twist, as with pain” and Wreak is “to make, create”. Wreak, wrought, wrought. As in playwright, a person who creates plays. Or wheelwright, a person who makes wheels.To be “overwrought” is to be “all worked up”, literally "to make too much of something.

    And that is the result of running loose in the public library from age 3.

    I never saw the phrase “racked up” except in these Peanuts strips.

    “Racked up” is a table pool reference, or “racked up” means fixing something that is out of alignment.

    St. Bernards are known for their gentleness, it is a breed characteristic. Snoopy has nothing to worry about.

    If Snoopy’s worried about getting racked up by a St. Bernard, he needs to befriend another dog for protection.

    What’s bigger than a St. Bernard?

    So did Linus’ “racked up by a cheesecake” gag come before or after this?

    I remember hearing “racked up” a few times in Peanuts. Also “That’s a good way to get mugged”.

    @Snoopy_Fan

    I’ve never heard of Ashland, Kentucky but me being a Brit… I won’t have much knowledge. I’ve heard of Kentucky though of course. It sounds like a lovely place from what you’ve described and I’m so glad you have many happy memories there. -I don’t know if this is pretty weird or not but I’ve always liked the look of fireplaces. To me, they always look grand and sophisticated.-George Clooney is gorgeous! His dark eyes get me every time. You’re lucky to have been born in the same town he’s from.

    Sorry to hear you had to shovel your driveway yet again. I hope it didn’t take too long. It’s hardly been snowing here. It snowed once in November and again this month but it just looked powdery on the ground and went away soon enough. I’m not complaining though, I don’t mind the snow… It’s the ICE. I had an accident on the ice about a year ago. Luckily I didn’t hurt myself really badly. I had a few minor injuries. -Can you see my avatar OK? (It’s me as a little girl) I’m just asking because when I changed it, It didn’t say it was successful. It said “Connection was reset” instead. It still replaced my previous avatar I had on though, so it might have worked…-Hope your weekend is truly wonderful!
