the Firstutts project

"who wants soup?"

announcing the first not a fly ongoing performance art project. many of us have had changes to our living arrangements, jobs, states, etc. in the last year... i daresay that is true for almost all of my known readership.

i issue the following challenge: the first words that you actually utter each day, try to remember them. (an exercise in self awareness at least, perhaps interesting blog fodder at best.) when you're in the blogosphere, go to this post -- there will be a new, prominent link -- and comment with your first utterance of the day (Firstutts... turns out there is already a Firstlines project to catalog olde tyme radio shows by their first line... oh well). feel free to use onomatopoeia, to post anonymously (those two may go together, if your sex life gets that post-30 bump that i keep hearing about but haven't managed to capitalize on), to give an explanation or to leave it as an artfully unexplained flotsam. i encourage both the weird and the mundane, the english and the foreign.

the point is: what was the first thing that was so important that you had to say it out loud?

"who wants soup?"

regarding an NPR story of re-discovering a folk-mythical turtle whose species was thought to be extinct in the wild.
