The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for August 29, 2009

Does he live in Drury Lane?

So early in the morning.

I know the muffin man. He’s a bit of a flaky guy.

I’m sure she’ll flip when he checks her “cupcakes”…

Someone needs the White Out

Isn’t he related to the Pillsbury Doughboy?

the girl on the left may have already dated the muffin man

what’s go on wit the muffin man?

FFXXED?

HolySmoke - you sound like the kids in my grade - they hear the song “I’m a believer” and yell “Shrek! Shrek! It’s the Shrek song!”

From Wikipedia: The rhyme is first recorded in a British manuscript of around 1820 preserved in the Bodleian Library with lyrics very similar to those used today:

Do you know the muffin man And don’t you know his name Do you know the muffin man, That lives in Drury Lane?

Drury Lane is a street in London, also notable for its theatre. Victorian households had many of their fresh foods delivered; muffins would be delivered door-to-door by a muffin man. The “muffins” were the product known in much of the English-speaking world today as English muffins, not the cupcake-shaped American variety.

The rhyme and game appear to have spread to other countries in the mid-nineteenth century, particularly the USA and the Netherlands. As with many traditional songs, there are regional variations in wording. Another popular version substitutes “Dorset Lane” for Drury Lane.

The joke works here as it is in a kitchen AND most of us have seen Shrek - giving new life to an old rhyme :)

what kind of word is “FFЖEь”?

oh… so FFЖEь was actually supposed to be fixed
