Bored?

filed under: Idle Chatter

I have committed a major sin of blogging. I have allowed a large fraction of my devout readership to become bored with my lack of posting.

By a large fraction, I mean one Mr. DeVore. But what a large fraction he is.

For having bored DeVore, I hereby submit the results of a pseudo-random googling:

Once upon a barren moor
There dwelt a bear, also a boar,
The bear could not bear the boar,
The bear thought the boar was a bore.
At last the bear could bear no more
That boar that bored him on the moor.
And so one morn he bored the boar-
That boar will bore no more!

For more tongue twisters, many of them not nearly as lame as that one, you can go here (favorite after a 30 second skim: "Clean clams crammed in clean cans").

In the meantime, sit tight, posting will pick up again soon.

Hooray! More distractions while at my desk again!

I was wondering what happened...but thanks to this fun page of tongue twisters - I'm much happier!

and I'd like to add one twister:

I am a mother pheasant plucker.
I pluck mother pheasants.
I am the most pleasant mother pheasant plucker
that ever plucked a mother pheasant.

Good one! You are indeed the pleasantest of mother pheasant pluckers.

You too, Josh. I will, however, make no more comments about cramming clams.

(I don't even know what that could possibly mean)
