A Goofy Gaggle of Geese Giveaway
by Rechelle ~ May 22nd, 2009. Filed under: Life.Today I am giving away a gaggle of geese.
A peep of chickens
A herd of cattle
A skulk of foxes
A parliament of owls
A murder of crows.
A clump of grass
A quiver of arrows
A coven of witches
A posse of police
A convoy of trucks
AND
A BLESSING OF UNICORNS!
Really!
That is what a bunch of unicorns are called.
A BLESSING!
I knew it! I knew it! I always knew I was extra blessed!
Now who wants a blessing of unicorns?
Who?

Actually, I don’t have a blessing of unicorns to give away today.

I love that it’s really called a blessing of unicorns! Or is it not, & I’m just gullible?
I’ve always loved a parliament of owls & a murder of crows :)
I’m totally going to participate. Just not quite yet – too weak & shaky (plus, still at work- so, there’s that)

I bet you’ll get lots of entries. I sent one after all! :D This is a fun giveaway!

I sent one via email. My camera is rubbish, so I hope that an older photo is okay.
May 23rd, 2009 at 7:15 pm
I have sent you my entries as well.

Do you know the book “An Exaltation of Larks” (that’s a real one, too!)? I thought of it immediately when I saw this post–too bad I was too late to play. Mine would have been “A Muddle of Manure”, since I am spending way too much time lately digging out chicken s*it.

I had to do more digging about the book after having it pop into my head, thanks to you–you can see it <a href=”http://www.amazon.com/Exaltation-Larks-Ultimate-James-Lipton/dp/0140170960″here. This was on my parent’s bookshelf when I was growing up (yes, a LONG time ago) but funnily enough, was written, at least according to the sages at Amazon, by the same James Lipton who hosts “Inside the Actors’ Studio”. I find his interviews insanely annoying, but perhaps I have to rethink, since he wrote this brilliant little book….

Whoops. Sorry for that broke link. The book is here: http://www.amazon.com/Exaltation-Larks-Ultimate-James-Lipton/dp/0140170960

err….BROKEN link. Can you tell I’m a writer? Yep. Thought so. I’m done now. (hangs head in shame)
