Funny stuff

[altivo]

From vimsig and tygercowboy among others:

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

Twelve tails reading

Eleven watercolors snuggling

Ten cats a-spinning

Nine antlers drawing

Eight libraries a-baking

Seven puppets a-writing

Six furries a-cuddling

Five plu-u-u-ush animals

Four theatre organs

Three inflatable animals

Two player pianos

...and an animism in a malory.

Hmmm... tails reading I can accept as a play on words...
Snuggly watercolors... that's abit of a stretch.
spinning cats and drawing antlers are ok I guess.
I don't think I'd want a library baking... might make the pages all crackly and fragile.
Writing puppets, ok.
Cuddling furries definitely works.
And just what you need! more plushies! That one works too well!
I'd love to have four theatre organs... that would be an awesome gift indeed. The player pianos too!
Inflatable animals is kind of mundane with all these airfilled decoration things nowadays.
And the last one... well, an animism in a malory... that makes me giggle.

Well, you know how song lyrics get worn down in the repetition. Obviously, it was "watercolors OF snuggling" rather than "a-snuggling" in the original.

Likewise, the "libraries OF baking" were collections of recipes.

Four theatre organs would require far too much space to house them, alas.

And there is an animism in Malory. I'll have to look up which section it's in, but there is a white hart that appears and one of the knights follows it into an adventure.

Ten cats a-spinning

This is quite synchronistic – the Swedish word for purr is spinna

That is an interesting coincidence all right. :)

The hell is an animisn in a malory?

Good one :)

The meme builds itself from your interest list, and Malory (Le Mort D'Arthur) is on my list. It's not random, because I got the same results when I tried it again, but whatever method it uses for selecting the nouns and verbs does come up with an occasional peculiarity like that.

I think it was chibiabos who got "dungeons a-cuddling" in his.
