Today, August 19th is the birthday of the august poet Ogden Nash.Here's one of my favorites:
The Llama
The one-L lama, he's a priest
The two-L llama, he's a beast
And I would bet a silk pyjama
There isn't any three-L lllama
(Nash appended a footnote to this poem: "The author's attention has been called to a type of conflagration known as a three-alarmer. Pooh."[4])

I noticed Amelie in your fave movies list. Hope you caught "Deklicatessen", another delicious offering.
