SEALs

For the sake of fewer individual posts to share all the new vocabulary I am learning, I’ll post out of order to group similar terms for more cohesive posts. I’m keeping track of it all that I’ll share at the end of the year, though, so no worries about me cheating in my counting! 🙂

In fact, I sometimes post the wrong count and only find out upon entering in a spreadsheet that I did, like with “stele” (read sh-TEE-lee, plural Stela) that was tweeted as 014 when it was really 016. You can also check the post counts to verify I am not cheating. 🙂

These terms are from ancient Mesopotamia, though some are still in use today, just not in the same form, obviously.

014 #Stele – a stone or wooden slab, generally taller than it is wide, erected in the ancient world as a monument. Victory Stele of Naram-Sin https://t.co/1FIRPxntBa

019 Cylinder seals – a small pierced object, like a long round bead, carved in reverse (020 #intaglio) and hung on strings of fiber or leather. What a beautiful concept in contrast to the boring stamp style seal. https://t.co/8pKGp6ecCp

I created these tagging challenges for fans of North American hockey, or people who know lots of those fans. The tagging challenges can be done on Facebook, MySpace, LiveJournal or other platforms where you can tag people on pictures.

The idea is to see how diverse is the group of hockey fans you know, and how does that compare to your fellow hockey loving friends. It’s no fun if everybody supported the team you supported, you know!

Pick a Facebook tagging meme of your choice based on the leagues below:

National Hockey League (NHL), with some vintage teams!
American Hockey League (AHL)
Western Hockey League (WHL)
Ontario Hockey League (OHL)
Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL)
National Women’s Hockey League (NWHL)

Tag one person you know whose favourite team is represented by the team logo. It has to be that person’s favourite team as you can’t tag a person twice on the same photo.

How many teams can you tag? And how does this compare to your friends who might have done this same challenge?

Here’s how to get these graphics for your tagging fun:
