flewellynOkay, so a friend started one of her posts with "It's time to change the layout." Nothing too earth-shattering, but the cadence of that sentence must have excited the hamster in my head, because it started running on its wheel and got the little gears turning in my brain.
And so, from somewhere in there, this came out. It's sung to the tune of the "Muppet Show" theme:
t's time to change the layout
It's time to choose hilights
It's time to tweak the spacing in my LJ style tonight!
It's time to select backgrounds
It's time to design right
It's time to customize themes in my LJ style tonight!
Why do we always change things?
I guess we'll never know
It's like a kind of torture
To edit S2 code!
And now let's get things styled
Why don't we get things styled
It's time to get things styled
In my most layoutified, brightly colorified, HTMLified, CSS-stylified,
This is what I call my LJ styyyyle!

Particle Cat wants to help eat that
What's it taste like?
That's not important.
Particle Cat.
Is it a crumb, or is it a speck?
Is it a scrap you think worthless?
He'll gobble it up anyway -
Don't throw it away!
Particle Cat.
So there. :P

Date: 2009-09-01 01:05 am (UTC)So I wrote a lesson plan that has the students play the role of forensic investigator, arriving at a crime scene at the Muppet Theater. There are several bodies, and they're given the temperature of each, and of the rooms in which the bodies are found. There are also statements from several witnesses, of overheard arguments and shouting, and one person storming out in a rage.
They have to calculate time of death for each of the bodies, then combine that with the witness statements to try to figure out what happened.

(I thought I'd stumbled upon your journal entirely at random, but I see that we have both met Speakerwiggin's hot wife. Either she gets around, or we have at least one friend-of-friend in common.)
