How to eat an Oreo (playdough) cookie…

Step 1. Get an Oreo cookie. Christophs prefers the playdough variety.

Step 2. Twist open.

Step 3.1. Lick icing in middle...

Step 3.2. ...until clean!

Step 4.1. Obtain glass of milk. It is best to have this ready ahead of time to minimize time spent not eating cookies.

Step 4.2. Dip sufficiently in milk.

Step 5. Eat the now-milky chocolate cookies. Eat immediately after dipping to prevent excessive sogginess.

Step 6. Be sure to clean up your mess! Having a trunk allows for speedy clean up. Washcloth may be used as substitute for trunk.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll take a cup o kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!

Christoph may be furry, but he does not have a hairy heart.
The touch of her soft white arms, the sound of her breath in his ear, the scent of her heavy gold hair: all pierced the newly awakened heart like spears. But it had grown strange during its long exile, blind and savage in the darkness to which it had been condemned, and its appetites had grown powerful and perverse.
-”The Warlock’s Hairy Heart” from The Tales of Beedle the Bard by JK Rowling, with notes by Albus Dumbledore and translation by Hermione Granger

Life is like a mirror; we get the best results when we smile at it.

Surely some revelation is at hand.
…And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
