New Adventures of Queen Victoria by Pab Sungenis for August 07, 2013

She changed it to H , for Heart of Darkness but that was taken.

When Edward’s done, Queenie, I’d like to check out “Djibouti.”

I loved “L is for Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllandysiliogogogoch”. The ‘f’ is pronounced like a ‘v’.

Sheik your Djibouti.

The publisher said: “Keep it apart, hide the manuscript.”

Make the tongue form the “L” shape but let the air escape from the sides without vocalising.

“μsical Chairs”? I do realise that the upper case μ is written differently.

Elmore Leonard beat her to that one. http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/djibouti-elmore-leonard/1100560350?ean=9780061735219

“M is for The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM)”.

Got this Polish restaurant down here. It used to have a copy on its window of a good review commenting that Polish food is easy to handle – all you have to do is remember that “pstrang” is pronounced like “honk”: [stronk!]..We will never have a world language…

I met Sue Grafton once, she is a cool lady. She said she was inspired for her titles by Edward Gorey’s “Gashlycrumb Tinies.” An example: “B is for Basil, devoured by bears.” If you haven’t experienced Gorey, you should.

Off topic, but … Get well soon, Elmore Leonard http://www.latimes.com/features/books/jacketcopy/la-et-jc-elmore-leonard-recovering-after-a-stroke-20130806,0,6558397.story
