The Zork one is hilarious.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Some of them (like the ones that've mentioned) are good, but most are fairly disappointing, I think. The Palahniuk one is all wrong. And I'm annoyed at all the misspellings and comma splices.

I liked the Chaucer one:
So began the Dark Lorde's awfolle gloatyng,
And standarde baddeguy showéboatynge,
"But not todaye, you little shytte!
Payn's true meanynge, thou shalt wytte!"

There's a fun HP quiz here. I found it pretty easy--only one question gave me a few minutes pause.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I had an appointment with a chiropractor this morning, first consultation type thing. The office is all decked out as Madame Pomfrey's Infirmary for today's Harry Potter festival thingy. I got checked out by Madame Pomfrey!
The area is already decorated and looks great. A restaurant changed it's sign to "The Three Broomsticks," another to "Leaky Cauldron," my chiro had an "Infirmary" sign. There are balloons and sorting hats and all kinds of things all over. It should be a fun day!

today's Harry Potter festival thingy.
Okay, the list of all the businesses that are doing Harry Potter-themed stuff is SO COOL! US Bank giving tours of Gringott's above-ground vaults! Restaurants brewing butterbeer! Quidditch!

Well, go to this link: [link] and scroll down until you see "Quidditch." (It's land-bound Quidditch, for the Muggles.)

Quidditch World Cup Tournament: at Oak Park's Premier Quidditch Arena (Mills Park; 2:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.; World Cup Game scheduled for 6:45 p.m.).
All teams are full but if you really want to play, sweep into Mills Park with your broom after 3 p.m. and maybe you'll be able to play or at least cheer wildly. There is a $5 charge for each player.
Through pre-registration, Quidditch teams will have the opportunity to play the land-bound version of the wizards' favorite sport in Mills Park. Volunteers will coordinate and officiate this fun, physical, team game which will involve up to 150 young people ages 6 through 12 as part up to 12 teams. The World Cup game will be scheduled as the main event of the early evening hours. Following the game, a victory parade will journey to the Scoville Park stage for the awarding of the World Cup.
