February Friday Funday!

February Friday Funday!

IS "PASSED TENTS" PAST TENSE?

It will be spring. It will be spring. IT WILL BE SPRING!

Yes, this is the time of year when we in the colder climates begin to get weary of the cold, the snow, the boots, the scarves, the gloves, the hats -- all the things that spell WINTER to us. Spring is technically five weeks away, but we could use a little warmth now!

This is just as well sense people of that elk are unlikely to tow the line irregardless of any attempt to better educate them. A small percentage, however, suffer from severe acyrologiaphobia, and it is their upmost desire to see English used properly. Exposure may cause them symptoms that may resemble post-dramatic stress disorder and, eventually, descend into whole-scale outrage as they go star-craving mad. Eventually, they will succumb to the stings and arrows of such a barrage and suffer a complete metal breakdown leaving them curled up in the feeble positi

Thanks for starting my day with a laugh, Susan Rooks! I like what Kurt Vonnegut Jr. wrote in one of his stories: "Rented a tent" (Sirens of Titan)

Thanks for the fun comments as always, Ken Boddie, and especially for sharing the post. And I had not -- until you forced me to -- quite thought of "passed tents" in that way. Sigh. :-)

Incidentally, "Passed Tents" sounds very painful, if not a medical impossibility. 😫
