Three Prizes:

This post is a little late. I apologize. I have been deliberating long and hard. In the end I have to give three prizes this week. Here's how it goes.

Robert Mouser came up with another good one-- probably the most well rounded of the commonplaces, and certainly fetching and clever. Here it is:

"If my calculations are correct then, SLINKY + ESCULATOR = EVERLASTING FUN"

Katherine Cumbee introduced me to one of the best/ worst puns I've ever heard. Although it isn't new, it straddles two languages and includes the bottom layer... ahem.

"Semper ubi, sub ubi."

Finally, Lydia Smith wins the prize for vocabulary. I actually had to use the dictionary. Mrs. Roise didn't know, nor did most of her family. Here's the cat with the name you'll have to look up.

"I'm naming my cat Sycophant: first she gets you to pet her, then she
asks for food"
