WEDNESDAY WEB WRAP-UP for March 21, 2007
Today, at 12 noon, in front of the fireplace, Professor Sean Meehan will lead a book discussion of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby. It is this year’s OneBookOneSiouxland selection. Today’s Wrap-up is to prepare all that might participate with a working vocabulary of the twenties.
The Internet Guide to Jazz Age Slang reflects an avocation and interest of a D. Lawkins. Although the site would not meet many of the criteria of a ‘good’ website, for my purposes today, it’s looks to be fine. Here, you will find several hundred slang terms used during the time of The Great Gatsby.
So come today and spill a little. The conversation will be swell and nifty and you won’t hear any applesauce. Although it will cost you more than a clam, but no more than two simoleans, buy a cup of Joe, and enjoy today’s event where everything will be copasetic.

Feline Reactions to Bearded Men
WEDNESDAY WEB WRAP-UP for March 7, 2007
This week’s Wrap-up is near and dear to my heart. “Feline (I have four!) Reactions to Bearded Men (I am)” is an article from the Annals of Improbable Research, a publication featured here before. “Feline Reactions …” has all the elements of ‘sound’ scientific research, a literature review, a description of methods, empirical results, a discussion and a listing of sources cited. You decide; is this serious research?
