I pondered how to end this. What would continue the thrust of this month? How could I nail the right sentiment on such an auspicious occasion? I searched long and hard for the right tone. Something that expressed the right depth and feeling.
Here's what I found:
Hope I'm not over-intellectualizing.
P.S. Want more? Try "unfortunate place names".
P.P.S. h/t to Tewkesbury for her recent related post.
P.P.P.S. Thanks for your encouragement along the NaBloPoMo way. I'm totally naming my first born after you. Or eating a Hershey's Kiss (with Almond!) in your honor. One or the other. Definitely.
I look forward to either meeting little Alberto or you enjoying a delicious Almond-embedded Kiss.
ReplyDeleteI hope you go for the Kiss in my honor!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on completing your mission!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I would have made it, too, had I not missed the family reunion weekend days. Drat! I shall just have to live vicariously through your success. Gilahi and I will raise a glass to you when we meet later this afternoon to solve the world's problems.
ReplyDeletevw: hydrowga - a water-powered wga.
Sometimes I wish my name was Daisy, so I would prefer that thankyouverymuch. And congrats!
ReplyDeleteMmm - hershey's kiss with almond (drool)...
ReplyDeleteIt's been a lot of fun! Don't stop now! Well, you can take a day or two off every now & then...
Yaay, you did it! We've all enjoyed your challenge of the past 30 days very much.
ReplyDeleteWoo congrats! Wetwang must get a lot of visitors! ;)
ReplyDeleteI just set off fireworks in your honor!
ReplyDeleteWhich means the fact that I'm reading blogs at work is made irrelevant by the fact that I set off pyrotechnics in the office.
Did anyone mention NaBloPoYr starts Jan 1?
ReplyDeleteCongrats on NaBloPoMo!
ReplyDeleteThe Wetwang sign reminds me of a good friend - really! The old Wang Laboratories had their headquarters just off the highway in Lowell, Massachusetts. There were three connected buildings that people referred to as the Wang towers, and at the top of each tower was a big sign that said "WANG." Without fail during our high school and college years, every time we drove by those towers, my friend would say, "now there's a couple of big wangs!" It was so corny and stupid, but I still can't drive by those buildings without thinking about him and laughing to myself.
WV: prethro - that terrible feeling that you get when you realize that you're going to barf
Congrats on making it all the way through! I just hope that you don't decide to take the month of December off from blogging.
ReplyDeleteWahoo you did it! *cheering and stomping of feet* Congrats on all your posts, it was super fun as a spectator but i don't know how you did it!
ReplyDeleteOMG. That is priceless!
ReplyDeleteThe next time I drive to Basel, I'm stopping at Wankdorf and snapping a picture. I wonder if Wetwang is the sister city of Wankdorf? Hm....
P.S. Word ver: prigolo! What are the chances?!?! Hahahahaha!!! Oh.
I'm gonna pass on Wetwang, but I'll be back to visit you in any case. Congrats on making it all the way. My closing ceremonies won't be until later after I knock out my kids.
ReplyDeletethrust and wetWANG?
ReplyDeletehaha
thanks for the quality posts - what in the world am I going to read on weekends now!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Maybe you should go for another month since this one worked out so well. I really enjoyed coming here knowing there would be something new to read every day.
ReplyDeleteWetwang...that's awesome. Thanks for the chuckle.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on completing a month of NaBloPoMo. Looks like you did MUCH better than myself. Keep up the stellar blogging.
This could be funnier, although less sexual, if the town were called "Wetwillie". I wonder what the folks who named Wetwang, like the town fathers of French Lick, Ind., had any second thoughts?
ReplyDeleteOMG! Dec 1 comments on a Nov 30 post! WAIT! You must be resting up for NaBloPoYr.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
ReplyDeleteI know of 5 bloggers who did this and I think it's an amazing feat.

Bilbo: From what I hear, you raised more than one glass. Please deliver all the resolutions to the world's problems toot suite.

The Bug: Thanks. I'm thinking I'll do just that.
Cyndy: Aren't you sweet! It was a pleasure spending the month with you!
Hannah: Thanks. I'd go there, wouldn't you?

Mike: I'm resting up all right.
Little Ms Blogger: Thanks! I have new respect for other people that do this because it sure wasn't easy.

HA, good job on finishing that up.
ReplyDeleteand eating lots of chocolate.
I am so damn proud of your fortitude! As you know, it wasn't something I could muster, at least not this time. You just rock beyond words!!
ReplyDeleteWould you really name your kid "Canary?" Because if you did, I'd love you long time. Oh yes indeedie I would.
ReplyDeleteAnd now, it's over.
ReplyDeleteDeath, where is thy sting?
Thank you for the end-of-the-month wetwang! I needed that.
