I’ve been thinking about knuckle tattoos lately, just for fun. And so I’ve been collecting 8 letter words, the way people collect stamps and rubber bands- pointlessly. Here are some of my favorites-

I started reading them backwards and Whizbang was as far as I got. There are over 30,000 8-letter words. The book of 8-letter words is 66 pages long. A fascinating read, I am sure! I CHALLENGE (8!) some one to read THEM ALL, and find their very FAVORITE (8!)! ! !
CARROT QUINN 
I like wild life 🙂
You know the Mary Oliver poem, Wild Geese? I was gonna tattoo the words on my fingers, but then I didn’t.

When I was really young, drunk and traveling, I thought it would be a wonderful idea to get More Beer tattooed on my knuckles. I never did get it, and I still sometimes regret it!!!!
