The Cure for Boredom is Curiosity.

Jump to Comments

The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity. This is one of my favorite quotes – most often attributed to Dorothy Parker – and I’m using it to introduce this post.

When you blog, you link. When you link, you read. When you read, you learn. And when you learn, you thrive. Mundane. Serious. Silly. Heartbreaking. Funny. Intellectual. It doesn’t matter the content or whether you actually agree or not – or really whether you even “get it.” I’ve always simply wanted to know more.

That being said – I’ve recently started visiting Doug at Balls and Walnuts. If the title alone doesn’t make you smile, the honest way he presents himself will. Of course this isn’t a serious post. I just wanted everyone to know that via Doug – who was visiting Lilith – I have learned that my Peculiar Aristocratic Title is:

My Peculiar Aristocratic Title is:
Viscountess Jennifer the Radiant of Lardle Midhoop
Get your Peculiar Aristocratic Title

I’m radiant, that’s for sure. *snicker* Lardle Midhoop? I’m heading to Google. I’m probably getting ready to discover that I’m a “glowing, overweight, member of nobility – above a baron, below an earl – that likes to shot from half-court.”

Please feel free to leave your new title in the comments – we can start ourselves a kingdom! Turtleduckingham! If you post your title, you’re in. Duke Douglas the Edible of Chipping Sodbury has already discovered our first official holiday – please note that it is today. ;-)


The current residents of Turtleduckingham:

Viscountess Jennifer the Radiant of Lardle Midhoop
Milady the Right Reverend Michelle the Extemporaneous of Studley Roger
Her Eminence the Very Viscountess Shaina the Bibulous of Lardle Midhoop
Imperial Majesty Dyke the Euphonious of Tempting St Mary
Viscountess Katharine the Hunted of Westley Waterless
Milord Earl Omnipotent the Somnolent of Midhoop St Giggleswich
Viscountess Yemisi the Uncanny of Waterless St Mildred
