I hope everyone watched Jeopardy last night! If you follow Toosdai’s Evening Peeps, then you knew the answer (or question) to this question (or answer):
He wrote:
“Behold the duck,
He does not cluck,
A cluck he lacks,
He quacks.”
Who could it be???
This is, according to Wiki, the white-faced whistling duck!
Welp, it is Toosdai and so it is the day for some srs mischiefery with a mashery of Ogden Nashery (illustrated)! Let’s see what today is and if we otherwise have Ogden’s words to cover it… Googles… we do not! So we’ll introduce another whimsical poet! This post is an Open Thread, so please feel free to discuss and to post your favorite illustrated pomes in the Comments!
So tonight, we will again explore today’s holidays:
Today is of course Election Day, but I’ll let the other diaries cover that!
Today is National Love Your Red Hair Day
What an auspicious day to present The Little Mermaid Live! For those who haven’t seen it, you can watch it at this link next week!
There are, of course, red-haired critters in addition to mermaids!
Today is also National Doughnut Day!
Doughnuts! Oh doughnuts!
by Greg Pincus
Doughnuts! Oh, doughnuts! Fried circles of yum.
You food that I simply adore.
You’re sure not nutritious, but you’re so delicious
I’m always left wishing for more.
I love you with frosting or covered in sprinkles.
I swoon for you, sweet, sugar raised!
When you’re filled with jelly, you warm up my belly...
While still leaving room for a glazed.
I’ll dip you in coffee or dunk you in milk.
I’ll eat you for breakfast or brunch.
I get so impassioned for simple old-fashioned
That sometimes I make them my lunch.
Doughnuts! Oh, doughnuts! Definers of yum.
You perfect fried circles of dough.
Although you’re caloric, you leave me euphoric...
So give me a dozen to go!
(Don’t really feed them to your pets!)
Please to remember that Pootie Diaries post twice a day!
The regular Pootie Diaries post daily at 1:45 pm Eastern (on Sundays at 3 pm Eastern)
and the evening Open Thread Pootie Diaries post at 10 pm Eastern
Please to show ‘em both some lubs!
In Loving Memory of Swampyankee:
Another kitteh belleh to grab — if it’s allowed!
And almost finally, please note da roolz:
PWBPeeps is a group that posts a daily diary and nightly open thread for animal lovers. We share photos, seek & give advice about pet health and behavior issues, support each other in times of sadness and stress, celebrate together when times are good, and on most days have an inordinate amount of fun.
Tricia, we’ll always miss ya!
You are welcome to join us!
Here are a few not-too-onerous PWB rulez
