Because my husband is thirty-five and lame and Alden had an octopus hat and sunglasses and frog boots and I have a better-than-just-a-stinkin’-phone-camera and we have a blog and Matthew couldn’t think of anything else to post about tonight but I thought his post was lame, you get to see this photo.
In other news, I will be working on an auction item into the wee hours of tonight. Using the new Prompt Robbi widget, I have some good ideas in the hopper. My favorite is “A family of clams doing a kick-line, Rockettes style,” because, WTF? that is so weird. Why “a family” and not just “a bunch” or “a pack” or “a whatever-term-of-venery (thanks wikipedia!)-a-lot-of-clams-are”? And of all the things to pick, why clams, which don’t have legs to kick with? But oh, how I have such a crisp image in my head for it…!
But it turns out that was Matthew’s suggestion (go figure), and it’s only the second-most popular suggestion, at a distant second, no less, with 13 votes/followers to “Literary character death match”‘s 23. I don’t know who suggested that one, but I have to say, it’s pretty compelling too. Only problem is, I have to figure out who the literary characters should be. They have to be easily recognizable as literary characters. And they should be either fairly well-matched (Lolita vs. Cosette) or really poorly matched (Tiny Tim vs. Moby Dick).
Actually. Debate over. That’s it. Tiny Tim vs. Moby Dick. Look for it Monday afternoon, if it turns out.
