Tuesday, November 19, 2013. The Essence of Human Life. This is a reading list Lu made up using her Tobii the other day. I have been working at making pages on the Tobii of the covers of all of the books she owns (which is many) so she could choose what she wants me to read.
hubba hubba. An expression of appreciation. The phrase, along with the longer âhubba hubba ding dingâ started during World War II, purportedly from a Chinese greeting âhow-pu-howâ that Air Force pilots learned from Chinese pilots trained at a Florida base.
The History of Mad Libs. Read the origin story of Mad LibsÂ® from Leonard Stern, one of the creators of the Original Mad LibsÂ®. The creation of Mad Libs is directly linked to my inability to spell âhyperboleâ in a seventh-grade spelling bee. Humiliated and embarrassed beyond words, I ran home to take refuge in the family dictionary, determined to learn the correct spelling and exact meaning of as many words as humanly possible.
