vr_trakowski | Personal magnetism

In the kitchenette I use at work is a magnetic whiteboard, fringed with flyers that are mostly several years old. Someone put a bunch of those magnetic alphabet letters up on it, the kind people buy for their kindergartners, and I added a handful of fridge poetry words a while back. Then I bought more magnetic letters because they were cheap at Target. Usage varies.

Recently, out of sheer boredom while waiting for my lunch to heat--4.5 minutes is a long time when I don't have anything to read--I started spelling out Jabberwocky, one line per day due to letter limitations. I got as far as line 3 (All mimsy) and came in to find someone had put up most of line 5 (Beware the Jabberwock).

Amused, I completed the line, reasoning that I should encourage whoever was playing along (and ignoring whoever keeps putting up "Red Sox" underneath). Yesterday I put up "The jaws that bite", having to wait to complete the line due to running out of the letter T. Today I found out that someone had added "bandersnatch" underneath.

I put up a cheat sheet. If we're going to do this, we can by golly do it in proper order.
