Ten Things About The Letter "Z."
Amy posted ten things about the letter "M" and I misread "do YOU want to write about a letter? Let me know in the comments," as "do you want Me to write about a letter" (as in Amy).
So me being Mister Smartass, why not the letter "Z?" To wit, Amy replied "go huff paint somewhere else, Beavis."
No, actually she said "No no no WP… You are requesting a letter for yourself! Marni already gave me mine. So YOU do Z! Ha ha!
Sigh, that's me Michael Stipe, painting myself in a corner. That's me, looking for flight.
Here we go, ten things about the letter "Z" and you better believe I had to go get the dictionary after the first two submissions:
1) Zebras. They are shorter than horses, but almost as fast. I used to love the zebra print as a child and it confuses lions when zebras are on the move, making it harder for the lions to catch them. Apparently, not hard enough as lions eventually figure it out.
Not to mention Pearls Before Swine has excellent zebra jokes and situations.
2) "Zed," as the way the denizens of the United Kingdom pronounce the letter "Z." I like making Brits, Aussies and the like, say "Zed" and "schedule." Minutes of fun, that.
3) Zenith. When I started to read Robert E. Howard and I found that it simply wasn't a television brand, I unnecessarily worked this into conversations as often as possible. "Wow, Mitchell Page sure hit that ball far, where do you suppose it reached its zenith. I'm not going to get into the sexually-related material that I tried to wedge that word into, on this blog. I was a teenager, what do you expect?
4) Zeppelin...as in "Led." Still my most favorite band and the one of the most misspelled bands ever. Two "e's," teenagers of the world and adults who should know better. Two "e's."
5) Zebu, a "Simpson's" reference, Maggie.
6) Zen. We'd all like to that perfect state, we just don't know it yet.
7) Zester. Rachael Ray goes to far with hers and there should be a moratorium in general, on which dishes you can put citrus zest in.
8) Zero Gravity. It's zen for thrill-seekers and also was the name of the best skateboard brand of its era.
9) Zero. "Put a one in front of a zero and you've got yourself a ten, see how..." I can't remember how the rest of that Schoolhouse Rock song goes.
10) Zeit. It means "time" in German, right? I don't know, it's the one thing I've ran out of and I don't have enough of it to look thi-
