Creepy...

This really freaks me out...I think it's the dance combined with an oddly placed picture of a random person's head. Let the elfamorphosis begin!

Happy Birthday Poonam!!!

Dear Poonam,

Today is your special birthday day and I know that you really would like to be doing a happy dance.









Instead, I know that you are studying for the horrible c-word, which undoubtedly makes you sad.








Even though it may not be the happiest way to spend your day, I hope that something nice happens for you.












Remember that we will celebrate in a manner worthy of the occasion in just over a week!







Until then, hang in there!

Create a Clerihew Friday!

clerihew \KLAIR-ih-hyoo\ noun
: a light verse quatrain rhyming aabb and usually dealing with a person named in the initial rhyme

Example sentence: My favorite of Edmund C. Bentley's clerihews is the following: "What I like about Clive / Is that he is no longer alive. / There is a great deal to be said / For being dead."

Did you know? Edmund Clerihew Bentley (1875-1956) was an English writer whose book Biography for Beginners was published in 1906 under the name E. Clerihew. It was a collection of simple, humorous four-line verses about famous people. Bentley had begun writing them as a bored high school student. He didn't call them clerihews himself, but his readers began to do so after the book appeared. How soon after, we can't be sure, because so far we've unearthed nothing earlier than a 1928 description of clerihews as "nice slack metres and sly points." In any case, people have been having fun writing their own clerihews ever since Bentley shared his.
