IM Groups

Prompted by one of Michelle Levesque’s posts, I have organized my instant messaging contacts into more rational groups:

• Royalty
• Embalmed persons
• Those who are highly trained
• Mermaids
• The fabulous
• Strays
• Those included in the present classification
• Those who tremble as if they were mad
• Those who are not countable
• Components of group minds
• Others
• Those who have just broken a flower vase
• Those who from a long way off look like punctuation

Later: my wife’s only comment upon seeing this list was, “You misspelled ‘embalmed’.” I am humbled.
