Word Games

Well, I had hoped to embed some videos on this blog post, but my laptop doesn't want to cooperate today. Sorry guys! But here are a few wordplay links I found to be entertaining. Dr. Sexson spoke to us about using a variety of puns and word games on our blogs. I'm not especially good at this, but these people are!!

The first video is of the International Pun Champion (yes, there is such a thing) in I believe Austin Texas. What he does is truly amazing.

The second video is of a British word game called Wordplay. This one goes out to all you Nabokovians (I know you're out there), especially those of you who read the index to Pale Fire.

Now this third video is really just for laughs. This one shows the original version of the game show Password with guest Carol Burnett. Note the name of the female contestant.......can anyone tell me where she/our professor is found in Finnegan's Wake??
