That was Spoony

Well, that last post was certainly spoony. Here is a reminder as to what "spoony" means. The Oxford English Dictionary had some lovely definitions, but the Merriam-Webster Dictionary's definition was much neater and conveys the sense of the word, so I've put it below.

spoony
\ˈspü-nē\
Function: adjective
Inflected Form(s): spoon·i·er; spoon·i·est
Etymology: English slang spoon simpleton
Date: circa 1812
1 : silly, foolish; especially : unduly sentimental
2 : being sentimentally in love

On a note related to Britain, I saw Oxford's all-male a cappella group, Out of the Blue, perform last night. Merely by virtue of being British, they were amazing. Anything I have to say after that is irrelevant.
