As a founding father of a newborn book club, I felt it was necessary to have a name, and/or have a logo of some sort for this wondrous new organization. This craving for a name and logo of some sort came this morning, well afternoon actually, whilst showering. Another odd thing about this desire was that I felt that it should be related to Snuffleupagus. For those of you not familiar with Snuffleupagus, Urban Dictoionary defines him by the following statement:
Debuting in 1971 on Sesame Street, Snuffleupagus was a woolly mammoth-like creature with long eyelashes. At first adults mistakenly believed he was Big Bird's imaginary friend because Snuffy shuffled off (presumably because he suddenly remembered he might have left the oven on) every time Big Bird left the scene to gather witnesses. In 1985 Big Bird finally proved that his shaggy friend was not a figment of his imagination.
During a sudsy lather, I coined a possible name for our book club: Snuggle up with us book club. Do you get it? Snuffleupagus sounds remarkably close to Snuggle up with us! And, who doesn’t want to snuggle up with a book, or their book club peers for that matter? We did state that social drinking would be a significant part of our book club, so we could easily wind up snuggling with each other in addition to our books. So, ladies, please feel free to come up with other potential names or emblems to represent our awesome new league of book readers.
