2. The tintinnabulation of the balls

Hear the sledges with the balls--
Silver balls!
What a world of merriment their melody forecalls!
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
In the icy air of night!
While the stars that oversprinkle
All the heavens, seem to twinkle
With a crystalline delight;
Keeping time, time, time,
In a sort of Runic rhyme,
To the tintinnabulation that so musically calls
From the balls, balls, balls, balls,
balls, balls, balls--
From the jingling and the tinkling of the balls.

(With apologies to E.A. Poe.)

7. when I was a kid

probably from the age of 11

I preferred to hang out with adults. They were just so much more adult than my peers.

Now that I am much, much older, I have to wonder "where the heck did all the adults go, because it sure seems like I am stuck in junior high".

I've met a set of Liberals that say things like, "As long as their are children starving, I will not laugh."

Which sounds great, and is sort of admirable...

But has no useful purpose in advancing our cause.

If you get so serious that you cannot find a giggle now and then...

You lose your humanity... you lose your bearings... you lose the reason you are a Liberal...

And people stop listening to you and your arguments...

And... in the end... you lose.

For everyone to let out their inner 8-year-old boy for a few days. I mean, the Pats won 45-7. Deflating the balls didn't make a damn bit of difference. But we're all getting a good laugh out of saying "Deflated Balls".
