Month of Jabberwocky
What? It's a good word, for those who don't mind burbling about this place.
Looks like 8,000 is around the mar we can expect althought there are quite a few Tests on in the month.

Re: Month of Jabberwocky
Jabberwocky is one of my two favourite poems in the English language. And the Jabberwock itself also scared me greatly as a little kid.

Juanuary. In honour of someone called Juan.
Someone else can make up the tenuous connection.

The jabberwocky ate a lad called Juan, who had strayed into the tulgey wood. Never enough gyring and gimbling in this place, for mine.

Leo McKern (Rumpole) was fond of quoting "And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.

I'm liking Jabberwocky, you can't have too much nonsense.

I liked the Python (film) version of Jabberwocky, which I think of as somewhat of a lost treasure. It's filth, grime and putrescence from beginning to end (a bit like Flaming Bails).
'Cor, she must have really loved you' gushes one mud-caked peasant to another; the recipient of a mouldy and half eaten potato as a gift from his true love.

It was a Terry Gilliam film rather than a Python film, lardy. Fore runner of The Adventures of Baron Munchhausen etc. I liked the recent The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

Re: Month of Jabberwocky
I'm sure I knew a chap called Juan about ten years ago. I think he was OK.
That's about all I can add.

I just remembered I also love Time Bandits, it's got dwarves and for some reason it's not been on this Christmas.

So, you want to be a robber, do you?

8,237 in the Month of Excrement is the mark to beat. I also note we have hit 12,000 topics in the madhouse. Well done us.

Here's my contribution for the 2nd Janvier.
Merry Jabberwocky all.
Stay bear aware.
Remember. Trucks cannot do barrel rolls.

Re: Month of Jabberwocky
Why the month of Jabberocky, though? Are we straying as far from the actual name of the month as we can whilst still retaining some incredibly tenuous connection (like having three letters in common, or the first two and the last one, or some such?).
why not ...
Month of Junkery.
Month of Janito-urinary.
Month of Jade Goody.

Re: Month of Jabberwocky
I dunno. Maybe you're right. Sort of sounds in some way similar, phonetically, dependant on how you pronounce January!
Re: Month of Jabberwocky
I was watching an advert about a pick up truck, that the driver was 'snowboarding' down a ski mountain.
The disclaimer at the bottom of the screen read:
'Trucks cannot snowboard. Special effects used.'
Then, a moment later.
'Trucks cannot barrel roll either.'
I enjoyed it.

Only through a mouthful of crackers in this case.

Very well thought out, I agree... still, at least you can get the gist of what month it is. Unlike the month of Quezwendaralee (I think that was last March)
