Happy Birthday Theodor Seuss Geisel!

You made quite an impact on my literacy life lol . RIP.

 

I was actually just talking about green eggs and ham

 

There are so many great books written by this man

 

what was the one about the two different towns, and like, one town put butter on top of toast, and the other on the bottom?

 

I think it was called the butter battle book but i'm not sure

 

I used to love that book when I was a little kid.

 

Woo Dr. Seuss. Good stuff.

 

During WWII he was an editorial cartoonist?

This is one of my favorites:

July 9, 1942. That s**t could get you seriously shot back then.

The whole collection is HERE

 

awwwww! r.i.p.

If you go to the Google Home page they have Google spelled out in Seuss characters. I suggest that you find a copy of Green Eggs & Ham as read by the Reverand Jessie Jackson. Funny as hell.

 

I had "Are You My Mother" and my mom used to read it to me sometimes... I remember getting really stressed out because the little bird couldn't find his mother LOLS

edit:

Double Edit: SHIT I just saw the author on the cover.... Fuck me three times over and call me a bishop, I'll be damned if I didn't think it was by seuss...it wasn't very seussy at all come to think of it FAIL

 

the google banner is DR suess characters

some of his books have really profound real world messages, such as the one where the people chop down the trees until they're all gone

edit: here it is, my favorite suess story

 

That would be The Lorax. And The Butter Battle Book is a parable on the old Cold War doctrine of Mutual Assured Destruction.
