		<description><![CDATA[Hello, bloglings! Sir Buffalo Sushi here. We&#8217;ll I&#8217;m in Atlanta right now, and this is a post I set to go today. We should get back tomorrow.
Anyway, I learned how to do &#8220;Cat&#8217;s Cradle&#8221; about a month or two ago. It&#8217;s very fun. All it is, is a big loop of string that you can make patterns and shapes with. I mastered the tricks: the broom, crow&#8217;s feet, tea cup, cat&#8217;s whiskers, Jacob&#8217;s latter, and the fish net. You need a 20in string loop to do them all, except fish net you need a 80in  string loop. Some of you bloglings may remember these from when you were kids. If you haven&#8217;t yet, you should try it. You can do it by your self or you can play two-player, which is on going.
Below is me doing the fish net.

And the broom&#8230;

Now for a little history&#8230;
Cat&#8217;s cradle is so old no ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While brainstorming for a project, I came across a piece of string. Tied in a loop. Naturally, I began doing Cat&#8217;s Cradle (isn&#8217;t this what we all do when we come across a loop of string?). Sir and Mister were intrigued. Two new string loops later, the guys now know how to do Witch&#8217;s Broom, Kitty Whiskers, Crow Feet, and Jacob&#8217;s Ladder.
The kids went on and on about how &#8220;old fashioned&#8221; games are so much fun. And how sad it must have been to have been a young girl and only had a piece of string to play with. After explaining that sometimes we were so poor we had to use the intestines from that night&#8217;s chicken because we had no string, I hopped online to find the origins of Cat&#8217;s Cradle. Come to find out, not only is it played all over the world, but little Julia, Caeser&#8217;s daughter, ...]]></description>
