Famousy

Famous.
Mousy.
Famousy.

Are there any mousy celebrities?
Can you be famous and unassuming?

Googling "famous and mousy" yields no results.

The first person who comes up in a search of the two words without quotes is Kate Middleton, girlfriend of Prince William.

And that's only in an article entitled, "Paris Hilton: 'I'd Date Prince William if He Dumped Mousy Kate Middleton."

So, being mousy has an advantage: it can keep Paris Hilton at bay.
Who knew?
That's her Kryptonite.

(Don't take this analogy too far.
It breaks down almost immediately, as Paris is neither a man, nor super.
Though she does seem nearly invulnerable.)

Powers.
Worst.

Geographylum

Geography.
Phylum.
Geographylum.

Phylum can mean a large group of languages that are related.
Geography can mean geography.

At least one person from each of the following countries is related to the large group of language known as this blog:

Spain.
India.
Spaindia. (Famous for the running of the sacred cows.)

America.
Canada.
Americanada. (Land of the free and home of the bacon.)

Venezuela.
England.
Venezuengland. (With even rainier rainforests.)

Japan.
Netherlands.
Japanetherlands. (Where assisted hari-kari is legal.)

Brazil.
Singapore.
Brazingapore. (Clever combination of these two cultures. I need to learn more.)

(And those last ones are a stretch, I know.
Though "Brazil" could have been spelled "Brasil" like it is there.
That would have made it more logical, but also taken away the "zing" at the end.
Either way, it's better than the original rough draft version:

Singapore.
Brazil.
Sing. Uh... Poor Brazil.)


Thanks to everyone from everywhere for reading.
Let me know if you're from somewhere else, or from nowhere else, or neither. Or both.
Especially if you can't read. Then thanks even more for being here.
