On the PublishAmericaSucks website there's a little satire page called the Tour. I got to drive the bus today. Rather than try and explain, just go there and read for yourself. May 11th entry is where I get to drive the bus. I've gotten to use my 'translation' skills twice now in previous days on the tour.
I recently posted a parody of the Dead Parrot sketch on AW which was rather fun to do. That thread has a number of wonderful parodies of famous poetry. It's a very literate and fun loving crew over at AW. I owe a real debt of gratitude to a Soapbox colleague Esseilte for posting about the Atlanta Nights sting at teh'Box which led to my discovery of AW. I think you have to register to read posts at tehSoapbox.net. Of course, I heartily recommend that you do so. My most frequented hangouts there are in Everything Else and Books.
Speaking of teh'Box there's a thread called Google Yourself and I did. I find a link to this blog at #26 some links to AW at the new site and the old ezboard site upstream from that. Mostly I find Polish language links. Apparently the phrase "dawno dawno temu" gets said a lot in Polish. The things you can learn on Google. Ooooh. That reminds me, I need to read the Googlewhacking book. NTS...
Rambling now, aren't I. Time for bed. However, I'm waiting up for my daughter to come home. She's at dress rehearsal for her final dance performance, the annual "Dance Spectrum" event.
Her High School has amazing programs. The choir and Madrigal groups go on these wonderful tours, the drama department is amazing and has a lovely theatre to perform in. Erin has been in the cast and/or crew of every major performance (and some minor ones) since her freshman year -- and hasn't gotten a single credit for it. We're working with the district to award her credits for this because without it she's going to be a tad short for graduation otherwise. I hope it goes through, it would be quite a tragedy for her not to be able to graduate with her class. I'm trying not to worry or nag her because she doesn't need the extra stress right now either.
Well, speaking of Erin, she's just gotten home which means the chicks are all in the nest so I can go to bed now.
