It happens to the best of us, Troosha.
It's my fault, anyway, for not properly introducing that link.

Was it Justi's post (which I read and appreciated) that inspired the reaction: "There are not even
enough words to describe how unbelievably, incredibly, amazingly, astonishingly, awesomely
fantastic this was!!!". Just curious or maybe there's something else which rocked your world and you're going to share it with us later.

What commercial?
Haven't seen that one yet, Aaron.
I hope it doesn't have anything to do with that sickening "Whopper household", though:

Was this inspired by the "Wheel of Adjectives" commercial?
Anyhoo, I'd guess you saw the 17 inch rainbow trout I caught last weekend. Or a 17 inch something.

However, I fear it was a once in a lifetime experience. And that, after witnessing such a spectacle, nothing will ever seem quite the same again.

Thank you very much, Ms Bradrock ...
My friends and I are collaborating on a children's book, as well. It's partly for school, and mostly for fun.

Also, a brief clarification:
This post is based on a children's book I used to love, not any real life events. In fact, when I initially wrote it out, it rhymed. However, I thought to myself, "No, that's a little much."
I was actually going to post this on Tuesday, but postponed it (ironically enough) because I feared it would be misinterpreted.

To answer the emails (in case they didn't go through because Juno blows!):
1. Post has nothing to do with what you thought it was about.
2. Post has been subtly altered to avoid future confusion.
Thank you, that is all.

Who knew you could get so much attention via gnome theft? Maybe I should go bunny-nap one of our neighbor's bunny statues... that's a family of five and two dogs I'd have to evade...
