Why is a weather forecaster called a meteorologist. They don't study meteors.
Weatherologists seems to be more accurate.

A hungry African lion came across two men. One was sitting under a tree reading a book. The other was typing away on his typewriter. The lion immediately pounced on the man reading the book and quickly devoured him.

Turkey smells pilgrim's tales,
Thanksgiving is here!
Lots of food and stuffing as parades come near
Oh! Take to heart, be a part!
All the food we'll eat
Doesn't everyone agree Thanksgiving is a treat!
Ohhhh!!! Dashing to the treats.
So much so much to eat!
Eat it all I must!
Stuffed to top am I
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Mounds of pumpkin pie
Chocolate pizza too!
I must have gained a hundred pounds
But oh my look at you.
Oh! Chocolate pie, pumpkin pie, turkey to fill all.
Come and join with everyone, Thanksgiving in the fall!
*To the tune of dashing through the snow*
Happy Thanksgiving everyone

Congrats Moon! That is really amazing and well deserved. I look forward to reading your story and watching the ceremony.

I love how well they transferred the music onto the animation. You can follow each chord and note, the strums and even the slides. Amazing

That animated instrument looks like something the Dragonlance gnomes would invent! I love it.

A random thought, apropos of nothing: I've recently purchased "Dreyer's English," and it's the first time I've found a stylebook absolutely delightful to read.

Reviews look interesting - “The only thing worse than the ungodly incentivize is its satanic little sibling, incent.”
I'm a big fan of Elements of Eloquence by Mark Forsyth. Wittily written.
