I'm loving my crooked neighbour with my crooked heart. Or trying to, anyway. Without making any eye contact.
Because I'm old school like that. (And because I can't figure it out. Shh.)

Tom Swifty Contest

David over at the mental_floss blog writes about the genesis of Tom Swifties and how he was introduced to them by a short story of Lorrie Moore's. You know about Tom Swifties, right?

"Although I do think a good Tom Swifty might be worth a little more than that," she says appreciatively.* Via Bookshelves of Doom.
