My good friend Aglaranna has noted that in a couple of weeks time the date may be written as 11/11/11. Now those of a certain bent ( sic) might think that this series of lines might be representative of the marks on a bottom recently in receipt of six of the best.
Does anyone have any thoughts about marking this sort-of special day perhaps in terms of making a set of such marks? For myself in the absence of anyone willing to be on either end of a cane around me I shall attempt to write a short story for your delectation. |
