We may not respond right away, but your good wishes and blessings for Carolyn have meant the world to us, and one day will to her, as I’m keeping a copy of everything for her memory box.
Appropriate Selections was published on Thursday, December 11th, 2003.I mean, hey, if they’re happy with each other, I’m all for it, but those just aren’t names I would have put into the same sentence. I’ve just read, much to my confusion, that Diana Krall and Elvis Costello were married in Elton John’s mansion, thus forming a Weirdness Trifecta. May as well start with the confusion early!
DRAGTHING HELP ANCHOR A DOCK PLUS
Plus “Santa Baby” as sung by Eartha Kitt. I’m still going to get Handel’s “Messiah,” Bach’s Beethoven’s “Ode To Joy,” and a few other pieces from Bombastic Dead White Guys into the mix. Good thing I have a fondness for that record. Jiminy Cricket sings “From All Of Us To All Of You” about twenty times a day. Big Band? Classical? Hard rock? Some blues, maybe? “Weird Al”? Fortunately, there is no dilemma, as we’re pretty much playing holiday music front to back. But it should, at least within the confines of my docu-er, my family tree, select Carolyn uniquely.Īt another time of year, I might have struggled with what kind of music to play for Carolyn. I suppose that this particular selector could describe many children, as I expect I’m not the only ‘EricMeyer’ (and yes, the capitalization matters) in the world to have had a child.
…which is to say, any element that’s the first child of an element whose id is EricMeyer-more precisely, any element that is the first child of another element and is also the child of an element with an id of EricMeyer. Thus, it might make slightly more sense to use the following: This would also select the first children of any children that I have, so first grandchildren (and so on) would be members of the same set. You wouldn’t want to make her cry, would you?īoth will select any element that is the first child of another element and is also descended from an element with an id of ericmeyer. You’re supposed to be describing her, people, not me! Every time you write an inappropriate selector, it makes the Baby Carolyn cry. So, while this particular little joke validates, it doesn’t do what the author(s) intended, probably due to the widespread lack of understanding about what :first-child actually does. Such a convention would limit every father to one child, which might make for excellent social policy but seems unnecessarily restrictive from a structural point of view. But it doesn’t describe Carolyn, unless we accept the convention that a child’s id should be given a value with his or her father’s name. Now, I can be described that way I am the oldest of my parents’ two children. One of the most common puns I’ve seen is:Īmusing, yes, but here’s the problem: that describes any element with an id of ericmeyer that is the first child of another element.
Okay, a lot of you have managed to come up with puns and jokes similar to the one I first saw at Jay Allen‘s site, and Dunstan Orchard has taken the whole theme to the (il)logical conclusion.
