This is part of the poem of "Daddy Warbucks" by Anne Sexton
'Daddy! ' 'Daddy, ' we all won that war,
when you sang me the money songs
Annie, Annie you sang
and I knew you drove a pure gold car
and put diamonds in you coke
for the crunchy sound, the adorable sound
and the moon too was in your portfolio,
as well as the ocean with its sleepy dead.
And I was always brave, wasn't I?
I never bled?
I never saw a man expose himself.
No. No.
I never saw a drunkard in his blubber.
I never let lightning go in one car and out the other.

Happy New Year Eve!
13:27
Oh is it that day already?
That means I have a hot date tonight!
13:40
Phew. I have all the hats I planned to earn and then a few more. Just a few days until hat season is over!

Yeah for stars :)
Thanks.
Happy new year!
14:18

Thanks

Mornin.
You're all 2016 already.
15:38
I'm already ready already.
Hey! I like my onion hat and all, but it keeps making me cry. Perhaps some 2016 goggles would help?
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
(And no, I haven't a clue how I got the onion.)
Also, I really really really want to star @alecxe's message.
Tree stars?
@Marthaª resists meta-starring that
15:56
@Mitch so what? :P

Hi, Good year 2016, need your help to solve this analogy:


3)Accelerate is to velocity as
… a)sound is to decibels
b)incarcerate is to prison
c)levitate is to elevation
d)commiserate is to weight
e)denigrate is to reputation
I choose e) but am not sure
17:44
@KenedYassine Can you make a sentence relating 'accelerate' and 'velocity' (that captures both their meanings well)? Then try to replace the pairs a through e and see which one fits.
To 'accelerate' is an ... in 'velocity'.
What is a good choice for '...'?
does e fit that?
18:26
I hope it's a starry night but at in Chicago, we might even get the Aurora Borealis tonight! What an auspicious way to herald in 2016! Happy New Year everyone who's clocks already chimed in midnight!
@KristinaLopez Radiation is auspicious indeed :-)
Yet, so mystically beautiful @MετάEd
@KristinaLopez The world is both very beautiful and very sad.
We respond the same way to both -- we cry.
True, but beauty also gives the added gift of goosebumps!

18:41
@KristinaLopez True. Or we can combine sad and afraid!
@Mitch Actually, it does. Acceleration can be negative. It's a poorly written question.
Also, happy new year.
Everybody have another fun ride around the sun.

@MετάEd Do you change your hat for a party hat now?
@tchrist Do I have a party hat?
No, you have a Santa hat.
Ah! Well let me see what else I have in my closet.
@tchrist More festive.
Or at least infinite diversity in infinite combinations.
Dif tor heh smusma.
23:08
@MετάEd Much Better!
