Inaugural Address

According to the venerable Urban Dictionary, where one goes when words of choice have yet to be captured by Webster's and other "reputable sources," snark is best defined as the love child of "snide" and "remark." It has been further called "biting, cruel humor or wit." Shannon and Lizzie were snarking before it was cool (while walking, apparently, three hours uphill each way to school fueled only by cube steak and a burning desire to escape Southern Central Massachusetts). Long regarded as their own best source of entertainment (except, of course, for the brilliant, witty, wonderful friends, family, and colleagues reading this blog), the ladies decided to take the snark on tour - armed only with a series of cars named Maude, an endless supply of Diet Coke, a questionable sense of direction, and a fearless curiosity that leads to what they call "adventures" and everyone else calls "an odd way to spend their vacations." So, from the guano covered shores of Capetown to close encounters with the toothless denizens of Ashfork, Arizona; whether battling giant spiders with Jesus and the Killing Shoe, reliving the glories of the Midnight House of Wieners, or vehemently declaring "that IS a vajajay, Ms. O'Keefe", The State of Snark follows the (mis)adventures of Shannon and Lizzie through the 50 states and any other odd places that tickle their fancy. Remind us later to explore all that is wrong (and right) with the phrase "tickle their fancy."
