Not tragic just asinine. I'm probably martyring myself--just one of those "how the hell does she get away with that crap" days when the rest of us are busting our asses.
Folsom Ren Faire celebrated its 15th Anniversary last fall. The chicken was a party favour given to the girl in possession of it. Somewhere on the web is a video of Chicken Posessor complaining vehemently about a gross violation of personal space, to wit: "Evie touched my chicken!" These things matter when one is 26 months old, even if the space violator is only 15 months.
Oh, and I hate to be pedantic on an emotional post like this.
But I believe the correct way to spell that word is "umbridgiturdity."
Naturally, this is because it is a cross between "umbridge" and "absurdity" and not because anyone posting here engages in scatalogical humor. "Umbridgitudity" is, by logical extension, a cross between "umbridge" and "nudity" and therefore (one hopes) quite inappropriate to the point you were trying to make.

And this is NOT an evil ex-girlfriend post. Just so that's clear.
These are the heroines of this tragic story.

Oh!
Date: 2008-04-01 06:51 am (UTC)I had initially discounted that possibility as being redundant, but I suppose an argument can be made for gradation of emphasis.

There's also Umbridgitudeness.
