This appears to be whimsical and fun, but seriously, it's difficult to come up with this kind of creativity. Well written. My favorite part is the vipper of vipperick.

hanks for diving down my list to get to this one...It was so much fun to write!...I love that vipper too, even if I did snatch that one--except for the 'ick'-- from old Dr. Zeuss. (He'll forgive me: we attended the same college and even lived in the same dorm room). :)gw

OK, for me 'zigzagerick' is the clear winner, though they are all "excell-rick!"
