(Taken from Dangerously Irrelevant) hat tip to Chris Craft at nextgen

All education bloggers are hereby invited and encouraged to…
complete the short and completely unscientific, but hopefully interesting, education blogosphere survey;
forward the URL of said survey to all other known education bloggers to ensure decent representation of the education blogosphere; and
publicize said survey URL on their own blogs to foster greater participation in this most noble endeavor.
Survey results received by Sunday, January 14, shall be posted in the town square on Wednesday, January 17.

I was going to omit the end, but some of you may enjoy it:

“Those solicited who choose not to participate shalt be labeled both publicly and widely as dastardly scoundrels, notty-pated hedgepigs, or beslubbering, doghearted, maggot-ridden canker-blossoms!”

I don’t know what a notty-pated hedgepig or beslubbering or a canker-blossom are but they really gross me out, so I guess I’d better participate.

(Actually, I think it is great any time someone takes a look, even if it is unscientific, at what is going on in this amazing edublogging community.)

Vicki Davis has been an educator and IT director in Georgia since 2002. Today, she also works as an instructional technology coach, staying side-by-side with active teachers and students so her work stays grounded in real classrooms.

She's a mom of three, wife of one, and loves talking about the wise, transformational use of technology for teaching and doing good in the world.

She has blogged at the Cool Cat Teacher Blog since 2005 and hosts the 10 Minute Teacher Podcast and Cool Cat Teacher Talk (radio, public access TV, YouTube, and all major podcast platforms), interviewing remarkable educators around the world. Vicki focuses on what unites us — a quest for truly remarkable, life-changing teaching and learning. The goal of her work is to provide actionable, encouraging, relevant ideas for teachers, grounded in truth and shared with love.

If you talk to Vicki for long, she'll encourage you to "Relate to Educate," to "innovate like a turtle," or to be "a remarkable teacher." She loves homemade sourdough bread and cinnamon rolls and runs half marathons with her sisters. You can usually find her laughing with her students or digging into a book.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and telling your friends about the work we do here! - Vicki

Vicki, I don’t know what those things are either but they seemed like time period-appropriate insults (see the graphic on my blog post)!

Methinks the insults be Shakespearean. But in order not to be a scurvy scallywag, I have completed the survey, too!

Okay – I couldn’t resist. Too much down time, I guess! The nearest I can come up with is that it all means: Sneaky crook, close-cropped/bald hedgehog, slobbering, unworthy, maggoty pustules. Charming. To generate similar insults of your own try http://www.deathstar.org/groups/ros/reference/insults.html
