This was a tough word to get working on. It does not evoke happy thoughts. Depressing, overly romantic etc. Not my idea of a fun word so I thought about what I consider maudlin and clowns came to mind and especially mimes. I do not like either. They make me sad. So the king of mimes had to be my target. Here you have Marcel Marceau. I mean him no disrespect. I just personally find mimes maudlin. To perk the imagine up a bit a little silly play on words seemed appropriate. Don't "Mime" me! I am just a little slap happy from all the snow.
