I think I should get extra points for sending it into a whole new section of the Venn diagram of the academic blogosphere.<BR/><BR/>I knew that font was familiar. (Note: at a professorial potluck the other day, we had at least 10 concentrated minutes of font discussion, citing names and all)dancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05560093455630610783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11295909.post-51791890938909518892007-12-04T15:10:00.000-05:002007-12-04T15:10:00.000-05:00Su has chosen to make this an ugly competition. Su...Su has chosen to make this an ugly competition. Su "went there." So I must follow and up the ante. I will offer (and only for a limited period, mind you) the Angel Kitty Chalice of Wishes...with aforementioned Angel Kitty Perched adorably amid a mound of faux-bubbles and wearing a halo around one ear. Inside this chalice (kitty sits on top on the cover) it reads "Angel Kitty Grant My Secret Wishes." It is a KNOWN SCIENTIFIC FACT that any wishes commited to paper and put into above chalice, ARE GRANTED IN SHORT ORDER. Also, there is a faux-rhinestone (no that's not redundant) and a faux pink diamond that dangles like a pendant as the eye of a flower which ALSO HAS WINGS. IT IS A WINGED PINKDIAMONDEYED FLOWER. You cannot even begin to imagine the opulence and beauty of this creation which makes the Faberge eggs look like dollar store plastic Easter eggs. ANGEL KITTY GRANT MY SECRET WISHES. EARTHLY DOMINION! POW! GRANTED! ANGEL KITTY GRANT MY SECRET WISHES. ZUKOFSKY HEGEMONY FOR AEONS! KAZOOM! ANGEL KITTY GRANT MY SECRET WISHES. IMMORTALITY FOR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND CLOSE ASSOCIATES. I am told on good authority this Angel Kitty has been handed down for centuries through dynasties and royal families. Now it can be YOURS! I am abashed my own generosity, nay magnanimity, and must withdraw now.William Kecklerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09492547054986452311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11295909.post-40603403630741462342007-12-04T15:08:00.000-05:002007-12-04T15:08:00.000-05:00Personal revelation in seven parts?
