It's that time of year!

On the twelfth day of Christmas, bunrab sent to me...

Twelve owls reading

Eleven pets zookeeping

Ten cats a-crocheting

Nine bikes bookcrossing

Eight symphonies a-quilting

Seven bookstores a-weaving

Six liberals a-knitting

Five cra-a-a-aftsman houses

Four used books

Three glass beads

Two nuclear whales

...and a fsm in an adjunct faculty.

Get your own Twelve Days:

(actually, twelve owls reading sounds nice - and certainly much nicer than swans a-swimming or geese-a-laying)

Words go past my eyes all day

and now they go past yours via Twitter:
