Welcome!

This is my grand experiment. This is Legendary Gams.

The story behind Legendary Gams is that I want to try my hand at writing a comedic-type blog. Being an intern at a television network known for being sort of a hub of hilarity (Oooo synonyms! Cryptic!), much of my job has included seeing, reading, and laughing at funny things. I consider myself to be kind of an amusing individual, and somewhere inside me I think other people might want to read or listen to what I have to say. If I ever gather the courage, I may see if I have what it takes to be a standup comic. But I don' t want to get ahead of myself. That's my shadow's job.

As far as the name goes, it's just a phrase that I think has pleasing phonetics and makes me smile. I also wouldn't mind one day being known for my legendary gams (legs, for you kids who weren't raised in the 20s)- right now my gams are kind of run-of-the-mill.* And when I was trying to come up with names for this blog, this was the only one I entered in Google as all one word that didn't give me any results, except to suggest that perhaps I meant to type 'legendary gamers?' Oh, no Google. I did not.

So hopefully maybe I'll make you laugh, whether out loud or in your head.**





*The moment I typed this phrase I got a craving to know its origins. According to the Internet, "This expression alludes to fabrics coming directly from a mill without having been sorted or inspected for quality. It has survived such similar phrases as run of the mine and run of the kiln, for the products of mines and kilns. [Late 1800s]." I'm a little disappointed. I thought it was going to involve footraces.

**Hmm. LIMH, or Laughing In My Head, would be kind of too honest to use while instant messaging, wouldn't it? Am I not good enough for you to LOL? If you ever talk to me online, don't use it. It will crush my spirit.
