Welcome to Sticky Vine
Although I'm no stranger to blogistan, this is my first post on Sticky Vine.
"Sticky Vine" is my spoonerism. In case you're curious, Dictionary.com declares that a "spoonerism" is 1. A transposition of sounds of two or more words, especially a ludicrous one, such as Let me sew you to your sheet for Let me show you to your seat. 2. transposition of initial consonants in a pair of words.
It is, obviously, a noun, and was coined after William Archibald Spooner, a British cleric and scholar. It was also the Word of the Day on May 18, 1999 (for the useless trivia buffs out there ~ all of zero of you who will be reading this!).
I decided to use my spoonerism because, frankly, I have a good one. Also, I have a fond connection to spoons ~ I prefer them to sporks and forks; and the spoon position when cradled by lovers, and all things that are spoony goodness. Perhaps it's because, when I was in college, I was co-president of my dorm, Spooner Hall, at Northern Michigan University in Marquette, Michigan. (If memory serves me correctly, a more adequate description of my dorm might have been "Stoner" Hall back then, but I digress.) Fond memories. Good times. Sigh. Good times.
Anyway, I hope to begin posting some worthwhile commentary. On life, politics, poetry, and the art of being.
Thanks for reading. Have fun.

And there are no Freudian implications to this name, right?

As a frequent lurker on Eschaton, I look forward to your music posts!

Hi there,
As a person with sticky fingers much of the time, I can appreciate the name of your blog.
Good luck, and pass the cheetos.
Welcome to the frey. And it is addicting.
Good luck, Vicki! ANd BTW, as a fellow Michigander, how in the hell do you exist as a progressive in Bland Rapids? My sister and her family live there -- she's definitely drunk the koolaid, even though she grew up in the same Detroit area liberal household that I did.
Any way, I'll be reading. Sammie
Kiss your freetime goodbye!
It IS addicting.
