The avocado is the odd one out, because the others all include the word “or.”

Am I the only one who saw the avocado and thought “Guacamole!”? (which does not have an “or” either…)

they all contain ‘or’ following the conjunction theme of today’s puzzles involving ‘but’ and ‘&’/'and’, except from the avocado stone which contains the preposition ‘on’

Avocado does not have “or” to fit in with the conjunction junction of today’s puzzles.

Ok, reading the directions better – the avocado is the odd man out, because it lacks an “or.” And really, “no ifs, ands, or buts.”

Yeah, no Or in Avocado. Late, but that’s usual.

Or is the connecting theme. I was going with either oregon since alligator pear does have or in it, but the or is pronounced differently in it. Or avocado since it doesn’t have or. I’ll go with the former just to be different!

Oops, should have read the whole thing before submitting! Looks like others have beaten me to it anyway.

Avocado lacks the word or, which all of the other words feature. The theme for today was conjunctions. School House Rock was proved right, because and, but, and or have gotten me pretty far.

What happened to the song from Schoolhouse Rock: Exercise Your Choppers?

I was only introduced to Schoolhouse Rock in recent years when my children received a set of the videotapes. I credit the series for their fascination with science. Now I wish these were available when I was a child!

I was happy to see this post.

Last weekend I rented the Schoolhouse Rock DVD and watched the animations I grew up with (37 year old Gen-Xer) every saturday morning. I can honestly say that I both laughed and cried (literally) with delight and emotion watching those old jewels. It was VERY moving for me. It was also so interesting to pick up on more adult (or simply more advanced) themes and lyrics that I missed as a kid.

The optimism and sincerity that came across, along with the genius lyrics, playfull melodies, and simple but clever animation, made for such a contrast with these past few years (in political terms).

“Three is a magic number” in particular, just breathes so much of the hope of the early 70s. Loved watching it again, with so much nostalgia and fondness.
