Random Thoughts for Wednesday
Following the time honored blogger tradition of Random Wednesday thoughts, here are two:1. Our University is in the midst of our Student Body election campaign. Each year this gets more heated and creative. Our students do appear to be creative:

Also seen on campus: a drink box, a picnic basket, a watermelon, and other unknown food items. Hmm.
2. Fraggle Rock: My daughter has been watching Fraggle Rock at night thanks to a DVD release of the first year's shows. And, on Episode 19 "The Great Radish Famine," the Doozer's, little creatures that spend their day building, turn to knitting when radishes, the bedrock of their constructions, disappear. Very odd. But here is a link to the mpeg of the song and here are the lyrics. This just makes me a happy knitter, even if the Doozer's end up tossing the yarn out the door (admit it--we've all been there....):

Doozer Knitting Song [01:23]
Performed by: The Doozers
It's neat and it's sweet.
It's a ding dong treat,
Knittin' socks for little feet.
Just sittin' with your knittin' all day long.
You know, knittin's friendly,
And knittin's fun.
Knittin's good for everyone,
And that is why we sing this knittin' song.
Well it's knit one pearl two.
What's a Doozer gonna do,
With a gol-darn,
Ball of yarn?
It's stitch three drop four.
Pitch that knittin' out the door right now.
There's a green, there's a red.
There's a knot in my thread.
A knitter needs his noggin read,
So don't come 'round and speak to me of yarn.
You can k-nit all day and k-nothin' fits.
'Cause only k-nitwits like to k-nit,
And k-nittin' k-needles just ain't worth a darn.
Well it's knit one pearl two.
What's a Doozer gonna do,
With a gol-darn,
Ball of yarn?
It's stitch three drop four.
Pitch that knittin' out the door right now.
