First blog

i was talking with a friend online today and the discussion at one point was on the origins of the word blog. i find the word to be very enjoyable to say. I decided to google it and it came up that the first time it was used by a man known as Dr. Suess.

In a 1953 story entitled "Scrambled Eggs Super," Dr. Seuss wrote:

    I went for the kind that were mellow and sweet

    And the world's sweetest eggs are the eggs of the Kweet

    Which is due to those very sweet trout which they eat

    And those trout ... well, they're sweet 'cause they only eat Blogs

    And Blogs, after all, are the world's sweetest frogs

    And the reason they're sweet is, whenever they lunch

    It's always the world's sweetest bees that they munch

    And the reason no bees can be sweeter than these...

    They only eat blossoms off Beezlenut Trees

    And those Beezlenut Blossoms are sweeter than sweet

    And that's why I nabbed several eggs from the Kweet.

yes , apparently blogs are sweet frogs. I cant say that i have ever eaten a frog, but who knows? Well at least i learned something today, thank you dr. suess. And i'd like to thank broo khaglund for revealing this cite to me, i do enjoy a good blog. It is a great way to communicate with people in a non-threatening way. i don't feel shy at all right now, but i'm almost positive i would be awkward to talk to.

Hooray for Dr. Seuss and his doctorate in awesome words. I'm glad you figured out your password. I will be a regular reader of your sweet frog.
