Hmmm.  Now that you mention it, I can't think of any relationship 
between types of posts here on the list and the four Hogwarts 
Houses.  We have FILKS, fanfic posts, shipping posts and TBAY posts 
(with or without acronyms).  I have a hard time figuring out a link 
between those posting styles and Hogwarts Houses, except that fans 
of each type would probably wish to be sorted Gryffindor.  ;-)

But as we all join hands here on HPfGU and hum "Kumbaya" together, 
perhaps we should resolve to demonstrate our appreciation for the 
variety in posting styles by posting in a form we've never used 
before.  

For me, that would be a **FILK.**  So here goes my very first (and 
most likely last) FILK:

To Jennifer Lopez's (that's "J-Lo" to you opera fans) "Jenny From 
The Block."

"Jo Row From The Block"


<clears throat, blows softly into pitch pipe>


Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got,
I'm still (I'm still) Jo Row from the block,
Used to have a little, now I have a *lot,* 
No matter where I go,
I know where I came from,
I'm just Jo Row from the block.

>From the schoolbooks
Right down to the wire,
Headline clips
I stay grounded
As the morning sickness rolls in
I promised you a manuscript, I'm real, 
Just like Mattie on Oprah (He's real...)
That's just my mix
I'm working on Book Six
Don't hate on me
Just pre-order, you'll see

Cindy -- who has now posted in all four posting styles (including 
acronyms) and who is wondering how many other listies can make that
