Well, today, since I am packing up my computer for overnight, I thought I’d entertain you with lessons in how to play The String Game and hope that suffices, whatever that means.\u00a0 You know those Washington Post funny word <\/a>things they publish each year?\u00a0 Well, they are fun to think up;\u00a0 for example suffice–having enough sorbet in your freezer.\u00a0 I’m sure you all out there can think up infinite new words for 2017!\u00a0 Meanwhile, here goes:<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

First,\u00a0 you look for said string.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

It’s in there, just keep looking!<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

AHA! Found it.\u00a0 Now hold on very tightly!<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

Let it know who is BOSS by pulling a few times violently with your saber teeth.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

It will try to get away, but HOLD OLD.\u00a0 That string is very cagey.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

No matter how fast it tries to escape, keep batting at it and don’t worry about the blurred photos, okay?<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

You have to be RUTHLESS. Make it AFRAID of your muzzle!<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

It will try each time to grab your TAIL, so protect that at all costs.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

Give it a good WHACK for being so ornery!<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

You have almost subdued that sucker–a few more seconds and it will be CONQUERED!<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

SUCCESS!!! VICTORY IS MINE!<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

Whew…that was a tough one.\u00a0 Next time I’ll shred that sucker!<\/p>\n
