Fun Online Poll Results & A Happy New Year

Once again, the discerning readers of this 'blog have got it right. On a low turnout of 28 votes, the most chosen option in my Fun Online Poll was the correct one:

"In the meadow we can build a snowman ...but we won't because Snowmen are racist." (9 votes)

In case you think I am making this up, here's an article from The Sunday Mirror ...

In a 15-page paper on "Representation of snowmen in Christmas cards" art historian Dr Tricia Cusack (someone actually PAYS her to do this job?) says that because they are always white and male, snowmen are both racist and sexist.

All that remains is to wish one and all the very best of luck for the New Year. We'll need it.

The difference between snowmen and snowwomen is snowballs and I understand their standard breakfast fare is snowflakes.
