The letter meme
Via Faintheart, the letter meme. Here are ten things I like that start with the letter V. If you’d like to carry on the meme, you can ask me for a letter here.
- Veronica Mars — The only TV show I watch regularly. (More Weevil, please.)
- Vampire bats — I find them winsome. They run around on the ground with such an adorably goofy-looking bounding motion. Hop hop hop! (Don’t you wish your day involved putting bats on a treadmill? Or is that just me?)
- Vasectomies — the sexiest accessory a man can have.
- Venn diagrams — How did I ever think without them?
- Vegetables — from artichokes to zucchini. Especially the artichokes. (I also like verbena, violets, and verdure in general.)
- “Vacuum” — for its spelling.
- Versification — “I wish I were a jellyfish/that cannot fall downstairs…”
- Vindication — I told you so.
- Veracity — Every year, I have less time for liars. At this rate, when I am eighty-five I will be stumping along the streets with my cane and smacking anybody who looks dodgy.
- Velocipedes — This one could be an ancient cousin of the Stokemonkey.

This is fantastic! I especially like your responses to 3 and 9.
What letter would you like to give me?
[You get… the letter B! — Cam]

re: the bats: Aw! How cute is that?
Sure, I’ll take a letter!
[And for you, the letter S! — Cam]

You’re the second person to speak highly of Veronica Mars…I’ll have to check it out.

It’s fun. But darn, if only you’d asked for a letter, Jake. I would have given you the letter Π for sure. Curses! Foiled!

#9 is a delightful image!

It probably comes as no surprise that I am already totally in love with running vampire bats.
Did anyone else out there watch The Dark Crystal, and is anyone else reminded (by the running vampire bats) of these tall critters that the gelflings ride on in one scene? I think it’s when they’re leaving the swamp.

mcJulie — I hadn’t thought of that. You are so totally right.
