Acrochallenge!

Hello, acroers, acroites, and acroees. And welcome to another round of acromania.

Did you know whose birthday was last week? July 4th, to be exact? If you pay close attention here you should know. It was Sherman's!

Sherman, being an orphan, of course, doesn't really know when his birthday is, so when Peabody adopted him, he let the boy pick any day he wanted as his day. And Sherman, patriotic boy that he is (after all, blue shorts, white shirt, red hair), picked the Fourth of July.

He celebrated last week by playing in the band concert, and watching fireworks, and he got an airplane model from Mr M and a put-together puppet stand from me, which I tried to put together this weekend, and, well, maybe we'd better let Mr Peabody try it because he's a lot smarter and handier than I am. Cause I failed. But his big present was this. A hot-air balloon ride over the nice Virginia countryside.

As you can see here, if you'll look closely at the little basket below the balloon. Huckleberry Hound, a spectator on the ground, took the photo, and although he won't admit it, I'm sure Mr M had a little something to do with its development.

In any case, the picture is so nice it shall be the inspiration for tonight's acro. In fact, it is tonight's acro. This week's acrotopic: "Sherman & Peabody's Hot-Air Balloon Ride."

All the other rules are the same. Everyone gets three entries to come up with the best acronym they can that not only matches the topic above, but also the letters below which are randomly drawn from the acrobasket. The acrobasket can only dream of being tied to the bottom of a hot-air balloon. And getting to fly his letters across the land. Then at 10pm est tomorrow night I shall be reading the entries and naming the winners, who will get - not a balloon ride, but a balloon, the blow-up kind, and the non-winners, who will get - to blow up the balloon of the winner.

So this week's topic is "Sherman & Peabody's Hot-Air Balloon Ride." The letters:

T P I T R S

So, stop blowing hot air and acro.

Betland's Olympic Update:
* Tonight's Olympic Update has been canceled. I'm too tired to even have an update.
* PS - can you tell I was asleep while I wrote this entire acroblog?
