I've never done a suffix show before. I have thought of doing an adverb show. I am fond of adverbs. In typical fashion, I hadn't paid any attention to adverbs until someone I was crazy about pointed them out to me.
It was a girl named Lauren, whom I now refer to as "the second love of my life." I know, it's a complete misunderstanding of the term. But I like to pretend I got three chances at love, & while I blew the first two, & fouled a couple of times, I made sure to get a base hit for the third time.
Lauren was number two. There's a Billy Bragg line that comes to mind: "She should've been the last, but she was just the latest." Ah well.
Anyway, Lauren liked adverbs. So crazy was I for her that I decided, one weekend, that I'd make her an entire dictionary, just full of adverbs. I sat down with a real dictionary - this was right before the internet was popular - I didn't even have a computer! - & I started to make a list of adverbs for her.
I didn't get very far. There are just too many adverbs. Just like there are too many adjectives that end with -less. But I am not trying to be complete here!
