I did not watch the Royal Wedding. No, I did not. I can't even tell you the name of the heir presumptive who got hitched. George? Edward? Thorin? No, it's a blank. But that's beside the point and really, best wishes for the happy couple and all of that.
No, I come here not to talk about rich white folks but to warn you all that next week, we'll be conducting an amazing and fascinating experiment here at the Lab, so wear your laboratory coats and bring your protective eyewear. We'll be doing a study about the uniqueness of voice, and Michelle, Domey and I have brought in the redoubtable Anne Gallagher to be part of the team on this one. I predict a lot of thinking with our brains and conclusions having been come to at the terminus of the empirical testing stuff. It's going to be just grand, we promise.
Also, if anyone can explain the title of today's post, I'd really appreciate it.
explain the title: the experiment will be called "Heather is Thicker Than eels"
ReplyDeleteScott, I'm already full of thoughts on the experiment, and it hasn't even started yet. I don't know what I want the results to be and yet I care very much about them.
ReplyDeleteYou've made my dream a reality, and you've made me into a psychic. I appreciate that.
Such power I have!
ReplyDeleteScottish heather has a thicker stem than many inland eels have bodies.
ReplyDeleteSimples!
What about Heather Locklear? She's skinnier than most eels. So she must not be Scottish. I love science.
ReplyDeleteYou know, Mr. Bailey, I have been called many things in my life, but never redoubtable. And just to make sure I understood the word clearly, I looked it up.
ReplyDeleteformidably hard to resist or conquer
I have been told, I am hard to resist. I am quite charming, you know. However, I have never been conquered. We shall see what the experiment brings, shall we?
@ Domey -- I've been thinking of this experiment too. I think the results will surprise all of us. Well, except for Scott. He already has the results.
Anne: I only have the chemistry set and the labeled vials. I don't know what will happen when we mix the four elements with the readers! It'll be news to all of us and I am very interested to see the results. I'll be randomizing some of the test so that I can't influence the outcome with how I structure things. It's hard to keep my own bias out of the experiment.
ReplyDeleteThorin! I startled my cubicle mates with laughter.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds intriguing. I can't wait to learn more.
If the experiment's anything like the discussion over at SWFAH, I imagine it will make heads spin (not in the Exorcist sort of way).
ReplyDeleteTrying to say "SWFAH" is almost as cool as saying "Chawmonger".
ReplyDeleteThinking with my brain? I don't know. That sounds hard.
ReplyDelete...but then again, a lab coat AND Anne Gallagher?
You had me at "Why".
BTW, Marketing op: if you sold lab coats that said "Literary Lab" on them and had a cool snazzy atomic lookin' logo you know I'd have to have one. Reminds me of the Journey Into Imagination pavilion at EPCOT. Just sayin'.
Bru, at random times I've thought of making Literary Lab T-shirts or something. A lab coat is a much better idea!
ReplyDeleteI have sent Scott some of my stuff for the experiment. I'm trembling with excitement.
ReplyDeleteI think we should sell cannibal mugs.
And fill them with fingers. ;)
ReplyDeleteMichelle, I like how the fingers idea just slips off your tongue so easily.
ReplyDeleteThat came about from yesterday, I do believe. Our conversations are awesome, aren't they? :)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to next week!
ReplyDeleteI want one of those coats.
