| Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 12/14/06 at 08:21 PM Hi Kristina. Good show! First time out? Wow! And you used "jingoism" (oringinally from the British exclaimation, 'by jingo!') more points for you! Great list of thoughts here. Thanks. |
| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 12/15/06 at 06:45 AM A good topic that corresponds well with the obssessive surge that one of these takes! Finely crafted, a mental extravaganza. |
| Posted by Christel Crews on 12/15/06 at 08:32 PM wow! wow! wow! this is a fun and challenging style to write in and you have done a marvelous job! |
| Posted by Leslie Ann Eisenberg on 12/16/06 at 11:19 PM oh, wow, kristina, i had no idea what the form was until the author's note, how about that for smooth? what higher compliment could there be? great use of language here, quite rich. perfectly exemplifies two distinct views of the world of mathematics. this math teacher gives you an A+ |
| Posted by Kyle Anne Kish on 12/16/06 at 11:50 PM Wow, Kristina, you not only did it, but you did it twice! Plus, what you said made perfect sense (in my mind, at least). I like it. I like it a lot. |
| Posted by Mara Meade on 12/18/06 at 03:10 AM Kristina, this is just brilliant. I find a HUGE measure of humour in the subject matter... if you weren't crazy before, working on this would have made you so!
MWAH!!!! |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 12/19/06 at 03:18 PM Quite the cerebral abcedarian at that, atply reflecting its title. Wish I had written this, glad you did! |

| Posted by JD Clay on 12/27/06 at 05:05 AM At first I thought it was all in my head but then I looked again and sure enough, a double abecedarian. This is a difficult discipline and you've done it justice. Bravo! Bravo! |
| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 12/28/06 at 02:38 AM Do we get to choose the brain cells? LOL! Using contrast to get your concept across is effective. Using brain cells as the symbolism was unique! |

| Posted by Katerina T Nix on 04/12/07 at 09:52 PM I love these abc thingys! I really like the way each verse clearly defines two different people (or groups) and how changing the way you think and talk can change an outcome for the better (at least I think that is what's going on) :) great work! Thank you for sharing this piece -Kat :) |
