Funny you should mention it....

I have been to 2 movies recently, and during the ads, have seen this one for something called "Verb". They say, "verb--it's what you do." They gave a web address, but of course I forgot it, but I looked it up via google, and found it:

http://www.verbnow.com/

It seems to be a kind of "subversive" way to plug physical activity for kids who spend all their time sitting and looking at the internet!! If you read the teeny tiny print, you see that it is sponsored by the US dept of Health, CDC.

Interestingly, both movies were preceded by ads and previews that were made for audiences other than the ones that were in the theater! The ads and previews seemed to be aimed at teens, (including an ad for a new action computer game), but both times, the theatres were full of , um, shall we say, old folks? (I was probably one of the youngest there--mid forties).

Well, Shar, I'm glad someone is, and I'm glad, for once, that my intent matches the response.

For surely one can't argue that verbs are better than nouns when the very word Verb is a noun! Why, nouns are CLEARLY better than verbs!

I hope you are having a very happy new year!

I loved your list, by the way. Very funny, that triangle angst.
