A tree toad loved a she-toad Who lived up in a tree. He was a two-toed tree toad But a three-toed toad was she. The two-toed tree toad tried to win The three-toed she-toad's heart, For the two-toed tree toad loved the ground That the three-toed tree toad trod. But the two-toed tree toad tried in vain. He couldn't please her whim. From her tree toad bower With her three-toed power The she-toad vetoed him.

In other news: I read the 1766 edition of "Goody Two Shoes" today. Including the Apendix about Miss Goody Two Shoe's brother Tom Two Shoes, and the letter from the printer, after he was finished using the Vatican's copy of the book.
I'm so full of culture, I ooze coolness. And that's frighteningly funny.
The story (which is a children's book) is where I got the Hottentot tongue twister from (not the twister, but the term 'Hottentot'). And I've been googling like crazy for most of the evening. Somehow I ended up in Botswana.
PS: Rick, say hello to Murphy on my fb page if you get a chance. I grew up with him. I'm pretty sure we've known each other since the 1st grade.

hottentottententententoonstelling is a word here, but I think there are longer versions. Maybe Hilmar reads this and knows? Or Michelle?
