As part of the celebration of Dr. Seuss' birthday yesterday, the hubster and I thought it would be fun to toss out a Seussnoir Twitter hashtag (#seussnoir) and see what folks came up with. (In case you don't know about Twitter hashtags, this FAQ may be helpful.) The results, some 1,000+ offerings, include some truly creative and witty satirical takes on some of the famous Seussian book titles. There were far too many to print here, but I thought I'd post some of the highlights below:
