dreamsquirrel called at 1:59 today to offer me some ceremonial pie; and I, of course, accepted.

I find it amusing that our particular subculture has two (occasionally three¹) holidays which are almost universally celebrated, even if in the most minor ways, and they've grown up entirely without any ad campaigns or, well, notice in the wider world at all. In my next sci-fi universe January 6, February 7, March 14 and June 2 will be the high holy days. q-:

Today's also a mctabby evil meme day, which is practically a holiday in the Harry Potter fandom. Seriously, posting to one of her brain-hurting threads was pretty much the first thing I did after I got my lj, and if I ever entirely leave the fandom, it will probably be from head-explodey while reading another. She's like the Granny Goodness of Harry Potter Fandom. She hurts us because she cares. And also to mold us into perfect soldiers for her evil army, obviously.

...and what I meant to say there is that it's very dangerous for me to have learned about Double Dactyls on one of McTabby's days. Although I *haven't* written any Harry Potter ones yet; the only suitable hexasyllabics I can come up with seem to be theological. So, Good Omens it is:

Higgledy Piggledy Crowley and 'Ziraphale Had an Arrangement that Suited them fine; Based on a friendship that's Antelapsarian: Lying to Heaven, and Drinking good wine.

Higgledy Piggledy, Witchfinder Pulsifer, Shilling a year, was most Sore underpaid; But on the upside, his Contramillenial Efforts had finally Gotten him laid.

We managed to collapse the comment threads on my last entry. First time ever! Wheee! Apparently the secret to popularity is to make catty comments about all the other kids behind their backs. That's depressing, in a Snacky's Law sort of way. Prove me wrong. I throw out a challenge to the whole flist: write me a double-dactyl-- about *anything* -- in a comment to this post.

Also, does anybody know how to scan Goa'uld in fixed-verse poetry? I'm completely stumped.

¹I celebrate Mole Day on both June 2 and October 23, due to the fact that I have friends on either side of the Great Schism, although as a geology student it should really be October 23. (To quote my groundwater teacher, "If you're within two orders of magnitude, you're doing good. And no, there's nothing wrong with plotting log-log with a fat magic marker.")
