Laughter is the very best medicine

I'm certainly no different than anyone else, too much on my plate, not enough hours in the day, and certainly not enough knitting (or creativity of any kind) to feed the soul going on.

A friend who happens to be a Police Officer sent me this email today, and I have to admit it made me laugh in a way that felt pretty good.

I pass it on here for your pleasure, your new name in all of its wonderful and juvenile glory:

Here is your dose of humor...
A. Follow the instructions to find your new name.

And don't go all adult - a senior manager is now known far & wide as Dorky Gizzardsniffer!

The following is excerpted from a children's book, "Captain Underpants And the Perilous Plot Professor Poopypants", by Dave Pilkey, in which the evil Professor forces everyone to assume new names...

So:-

1. Use the third letter of your first name to determine your New first name:

a = snickle
b = doombah
c = goober
d = cheesy

e = crusty
f = greasy
g = dumbo
h = farcus
i = dorky
j = doofus
k = funky
l = boobie
m = sleezy
n = sloopy
o = fluffy
p = stinky
q = slimy
r = dorfus
s = snooty
t = tootsie
u = dipsy
v = sneezy
w = liver
x = skippy
y = dinky
z = zippy

2. Use the second letter of your last name to determine the first half of your new last name:

a = dippin
b = feather
c = b atty
d = burger
e = chicken
f = barffy
g = lizard
h = waffle
i = farkle
j = monkey
k = flippin
l = fricken
m = bubble
n = rhino
o = potty
p = hamster
q = buckle
r = gizzard
s = lickin
t = snickle
u = chuckle
v = pickle
w = hubble
x = dingle
y = gorilla
z = girdle

3. Use t he third letter of your last name to determine the second half of your new last name:
a = butt
b = boob
c = face
d = nose
e = hump
f = breath
g = pants
h = shorts
i = lips
j = honker
k = head
l = tush
m = chunks
n = dunkin
o = brains
p = biscuits
q = toes
r = doodle
s = fanny
t = sniffer
u 3D sprinkles
v = frack
w = squirt
x = humperdinck
y = hiney
z = juice

Thus, for example, Barack Obama's new name is: Snickle Featherbutt.

I can't wait to hear YOUR new name........ mine is Sloopy Farkle Chunks.

C'mon....... that is some funny stuff! I know that somebody out there is Boobie Dingle Butt!

For those of you heading to Rhinebeck this weekend, have the very best of times, live large and make sure you stimulate the economy!
