I haven't noted it for the first couple of times, now I'm using it each morning to check on any updates. I'm on a real slow dial-up connection in Australia and it's rather daunting to sit there and wait for such a long time 'til the page loads... but hey, I just found your rss page and added it to the Google Reader and voil? - I'm always up-to-date! Well buddy, keep up the good work and make that rss button a little bigger so that other people can enjoy that as well :-P That rss option on your site here is impressive, you should tell people about it in your upcoming post.

I'm trying to increase awareness of that book and one other in wordplay and maybe establish some links. THE GIANT BOOK OF ANIMAL JOKES: BEASTLY HUMOR FOR GROWNUPS by Richard Lederer and James Ertner (illustrations by James McLean) is a collection of 4,509 howlers, gigglers, and groaners. The first section includes animals from Aardvark to Zyzzyva. The second section includes jokes in categories such as bars, classrooms, daffynitions, mixes, crosses, knock-knocks, Q&A, Tom Swifties, vets’ offices, zoos. In any group, there may be riddles, puns, “Did-you-hear-the one about___?” or “Why-did-the___ ____?” or other joke formulations. There is an index. The other book of wordplay: STOOPNAGLE’S TALE IS TWISTED: SPOONERISMS RUN AMOK by Keen James (illustrations by François Boutet) is an updated version of MY TALE IS TWISTED by Col. Stoopnagle, radio comedian in the 1930s and 40s. “Beeping Sleauty,” “Prinderella and the Since,” The Pea Little Thrigs,” and 40 others tales and fables are back in print with added material about Spooner, spoonerisms, and Stoopnagle. We have a hub on each book. We can send anchor copy. We can send review copies. We’d be delighted to appear on this or other website. I'll return to open the sites listed below.
