Now Playing: Magnetic Fields-Meaningless
Topic: They eat Mallomars

You are here.

Dreary, glooming day #2. What sort of luck is that? Noooo sir, I love it. If it were a scoatch less
humid outside, it would be 'un ciel merveilleux de misere.' Oooh la la, francais!

What are "whippet bitches?" It sounded so funny that I actually took the time to find out and here
are the results of that search!

The Whippet was developed at the end of the 19th century through crossing among the
Greyhound, the Italian Greyhound, and the Terrier. Its name derives from the expression
"whip it" meaning to move quickly. The Whippet looks like a small greyhound.

Who cares about that, right? Well, something even more interesting is this: (Satisfied Curiousity.)

Frederick the Great, who never slept with his wife, was rumored in later years to have been
romantically attached to his pack of Italian whippet bitches.

Have you ever noticed that when I have person listed in my blog that their name links to their history
on wikipedia.com? It's true. I even have words linked to dictionary enteries so that you are all able to
thoroughly condition yourselves for your clever response!

The Rennaisance Festival has begun! It opened for the season yesterday. I cannot wait to go. It is the
best thing about TX. Check out that link and see for yourself.

Some very interesting facts to be absorbed by the reader like an underwater sea sponge.

In 1892, Italy raised the minimun age for marriage to girls to 12 years old.

During WWII, Germany offered Arizona, New Mexico and Texas to Mexico
to change sides.

In 1962, Josef Goebbels demanded that Hitler be expelled from the Nazi Party.

Ho Chi Minh was once a pastry chef for the Ritz-Carlton in NYC and a photo
retoucher in Paris.

Technically the first American president was John Hanson of Maryland.

Riddle me this...

The riddle that stumped Homer, spoken by Greek fishermen, drove him to suicide and goes like
this: "What we caught we threw away; What we didn't catch, we kept."

The Babylonians believed that riddles could teach and were preserved on clay tablets that probably
served as a schoolbook and one of the oldest is this: "What becomes pregnant without conceiving,
Who becomes fat without eating?"

A riddle from the bible, found in Jacob 14:12-20, talks about Samson's seven-day wedding feast/
bachelor party and offered rewards to those who could answer, but demanded the same rewards
for himself if they failed. The riddle is: "Out of the eater came something to eat; Out of the strong
came something sweet."

A riddle with no answer appears in the Islamic Koran (as well as other writings) and were refered to
as "koans" - such as, "What is the sound of one hand clapping?" - There is no logical answer, it is only
meant to open your mind.

I will provide you with the answers to these riddles in tomorrow's entry.

Topic: A Gorge of Candy Whistles

Perhaps Looking-glass milk isn't good to drink.

Am I puttering out? It seems like it takes me forever to collect and gather decent content
for my daily entry. And I don't use anything online. No. I don't cheat. I use books and my
? brain. It is a half brain in the morning.

But I shalln't look any further... I have found former jobs of famous (or infamous) people:

10 Former Occupations:

Genghis Khan: goatherd

Nostradamus: wrote about jam-making

Al Capone: used furniture dealer

Josef Goebbels: accountant

Heinrich Himmler: clerk in an agricultural fertilizer company

Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov (Lenin): lawyer

Iosif Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili (Joe Stalin): trainee priest

Ronnie and Reggie Kray: agents for Alvin Stardust

Saloth Sar (Pol Pot): Buddhist monk

Us Predsident Gerald R. Ford: Male model

May I add that you look particularly lovely today? Well, you do. Go look in the mirror and
you will see what I mean. You just got up, you say? You could have fooled me. I think you
look marvelous!

It's 9:29 am here in TX and it is dark. The thunder is a-rollin'. It promises to be a great day.
The humidity is the only thing that could ruin a day like this. And it probably wil, being TX &
all. Geez, just another reminder that I so hate this place. Even the confines of my little world
aren't enough to make me forget that I am where I am... I won't go on. It is pointless, and
furthermore I can do nothing to change it, so what's the use in bitching, right?

You've actually made it this far? Damn. You deserve a prize for that! How about some Chuck
E. Cheese tokens? Or maybe something even more useless like a feather mop? A mud bucket?
No, I know... how about a 100% cruelty-free tofu flavored cardboard box for that late morning
snack? The choice is yours, my friend.

Go out and begin your day now with a nefarious smile lying about your face, you know you're
up to something, like no-good!

Do you see the ironies in this there story? Genghis Khan conquered a majority of a continent where one of the
main industries now is goatherding? Did Nostradamus prophesize all of the assorted varities of jam we now have?
Did Al Capone sell piano boxes for bodies before he needed them himself? In all probability, Goebbels worked
somewhere where Jews were employed. Himmler shoveled shit (ha ha ha) and turned into a prime grade A-1 shit!
Lenin was a lawyer, and therefore changed the law to serve him and not the people. Stalin led the erasure of religion
in Russia that is now only starting to come back. Don't know the family Kray, I must say. Pol Pot led a brutal regime
contradictory to all ideology of his religion. If Gerald Ford was the model, why was his wife the one who turned to
drugs (yeah Betty, we all know you swilled rubbing alcohol!)

And now I bid my fond adieu....

Now Playing: Magnetic Fields-Asleep and Dreaming
Topic: The Pedantic Opus

Blog-O-Lantern

5:41 am and I am just starting to make an entry. That's insane. I usually have 75% of this crap done by now.
I have been trying to grab an awesome picture for today's header but I am slow about these things sometimes
and I lose myself looking at other whatnots. Oh well, I say.

This is by far my favorite month of the year! Yes indeed, this will do it. October. It just sounds nice, the way it
rolls off the tongue and dances about in glib delight...

At the turn of the century, cities were overcrowded and Halloween marked the time to let off steam by
playing practical jokes such as turning over out-houses. By the 1930's things had gotten out of hand and
serious damage was being done on Halloween. There was a movement to have children go door to door
and ask for candy as an alternative to vandalism.

October has had 31 days since the time of the Roman emperor Augustus.

In 1800's people started to have parties. Part of the celebrations included costumes, fortune telling and
games such as bobbing for apples.

Jack-o-lantern aka Ignes fatui. [L. ignis = fire + fatuus = foolish.] So called in allusion to its tendency to
mislead travelers.] 1. A phosphorescent light that appears, in the night, over marshy ground, supposed
to be occasioned by the decomposition of animal or vegetable substances, or by some inflammable gas;
popularly called also Will-with-the-wisp, or Will-o'-the-wisp, and Jack-with-a-lantern, or Jack-o'-lantern.

<-- Interesting -->
? Each square inch of human skin consists of twenty feet of blood vessels.
? A Saudi Arabian woman can get a divorce if her husband doesn't give her coffee.
? Barbers at one time combined shaving and haircutting with bloodletting and pulling
teeth. The white stripes on a field of red that spiral down a barber pole represent the
bandages used in the bloodletting.
? Humans are the only animals that copulate face to face.

I really want this entry to be interactive, but I don't have much to offer at the moment. Perhaps if I sit here for
a bit longer, something will happen... (moments passing...) yes, it is decided... vocabulary for your response!

nudements, n. - rules of pornography
obstilibut, n. - the end of a syringe which points away from the face
rackle, v. - to grate on one's nerves
trigatory, adj. - an arrangement of three, ex. He entered into a trigatory relationship.
yukatory, adj. - relating to things vulgar or disgusting

Have fun with those. And if for some reason you are unable to post through the "post" link, email your post to me
instead. I can not say this enough! That is all one must do! You will see your post here like everyone elses!

Clamor Dust from Hamper Rust

Now Playing: Future Bible Heros-And You Never Knew
Topic: Soggy Blog Bottom

Come here, damn you, I want to touch you.

Good Day, people! It's Thursday. I have some answers from earlier in the week. I will begin
there and work my way down.

The one word that can be made from INSATIABLE is BANALITIES.

Londoner, Bernard Rayner's former profession was A: Pigeon food seller.

ChristOnASpike knew BANALITIES!! Damn! Right on! And thus I have already defined the word.

Is that all I have in the "answers" department? I guess so. Now for the really interesting
part of today's entry.

The Moon Last Night

This was so awesome and it was only the second time I have ever seen the
moon this most peculiar shade of red. I tried to find it on the NASA website
to no avail. Doesn't anyone takes pictures of the moon any more? This image
is from November 1993. I do not think the moon has changed in appearance
in the last 11 years, so it's safe to use. What causes the moon to glow with
such hue? I am unable to say at this time, but the answer has to be out there
somewhere. Do you know why? Perhaps you can find out and show us all how
smart you are! Go forth and return with the answer! We all know you can do it!

Where does the word, "alcohol" come from?
Antimony is a mineral common in Egypt and the Middle East. Arabs made a fine black
powder with the antimony and called it kohl. Daubed on the eyelids, the stain was one
of the earliest cosmetics. Queen and women of wealth spent fortunes on the finest variety
of eyeshadow, which they called al-kohl - literally "the powder." Queen Shub-ad of Ur kept
her al-kohl in a silver box 5,500 years ago. By the early 17th century, western travelers
used alcohol for "fine powder that stains." Eventually it referred to any substance obtained
from an essence - and particularly distillation. Thus alcohol of wine meant the "essence of
wine." Soon it became simply alcohol, causing today's liquid refreshments to bear the name
of eye shadow used by the beauties of ancient Egypt.

On a humurous note
THUMP THUMP, FRANCE 1983
Bravely extending the limits of cinema pedophelia in the tradition of Lolita, Sundays and
Cybele, and Beau Pere, director Bertolt Bleu sensitively portrays a young man's tragic
seduction by a precocious fetus. Their only means of communication being a fetal mon-
itor at the local hospital, Tammy (the fetus) and Rene gradually come to realize the star-
crossed futility of their love. The film triumphs through its honesty and delicate handling
of a touchy subject. Prize for special effects - Black Forest Film Festival.
-Lewis Burke Frumkes, How to Raise Your I.Q. by Eating Gifted Children circa 1983

First, to address the color of the moon, I found this explanation for all and sundry:

You have asked a very good question. Yes, on occasions the moon does appear to turn slightly red during a lunar eclipse! On occasions it even is known to turn what is called a "blood red" color.

The reason for this color is exactly the same reason that we have red sun rises and sun sets on the earth. It is caused by the dust and other pollutions that are in the air of the earth.

As the sunlight travels through the earth's atmosphere, it picks up a red color from the pollutions and dirt and then the sunlight travels on through the earth's atmosphere and it stops on the surface of the moon during an eclipse! Thus, the red color we have in our sunrises and sunsets in now being projected upon the moons surface! Therefore, the moon will have a red to red brown color.

The reason it only happens during eclipses is that is the only time that the allignment of the sun, earth, and moon will allow the sunlight to go through the earths atmosphere and to be directly projected upon the moon.

On other occasions (ie. moon phases), the reflected light from the earth strikes the moon, but that does not give the moon a red color. It must be light that passes through the earths atmosphere and the light must then pass directly to the moon. It can not be reflected light.

I have observed this change in color on many occasions. It becomes more red in color after eruptions of very large volcanoes on the earth which throw large amounts of smoke and dust into the earths air. There are even some changes in color after large burnings of forests due to large amounts of smoke in the earths air. These events can also make it difficult to observe very faint objects in space such as stars and galaxies.

That caption under the picture of Pinhead is hilarious!!! LOL!!! That French movie, however, takes the cake...that is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard....but then again, I did see a French movie where this kid's mother died and he and his friends wrapped her in foil (AL LOU MIN E UM) and kept her in the grandfather clock!!!

The Irremediable Furlough of Petulance
Mood:

d'oh
Now Playing: Mychael Danna & Jeff Danna-The Blood of CuChulainn
Topic: Blog Water Marinade

And now you will blog my monkey!

A word to the wise: Don't go looking for a lost cause. More than likely,
it wants to be lost and will do what it takes to never be found!

Hump Day? Already? OK, something funny, something that you will take
with you when you go, from the blog, I mean. Yeah... let's go.

Biblical Obts:
Eden: Adam, First Man, Dies
Adam, or "Man" as he was known by his friends, died Monday night, apparently from the
effects of a snakebite which he had suffered the previous day in his garden. His age at his
time of death was undetermined.

Adam spent the better part of his life in the pursuit of the knowledge of good and evil, which
eventually acquired. (It is good to love your brother. It is evil to put your brother's head in a
vice and squeeze it until he apologizes for all the nasty things he has said to you, even though
he probably deserves it.)

Adam is probably best remembered as having been the first man. Besides his widow, Eve, he
is survived by two sons, Cain and Abel.

One word! Just one because it cracked me up and it's all you need.

o?da?lisque (ode-uh-lisk) n. - A concubine or woman slave in a harem.

Bloody Hell. I made the stupidest movie ever yesterday. It's here, so if you have Windows? MediaPlayer? and sound,
you can experience the total failure of my first movie. It's lame. But, you may like that. And I forgot to credit the music
which is "Can't Cheat Karma" by Crass.

So, Irishly speaking, C?Chulainn (pronounced koo-khullin) is a heroic warrior in Irish mythology. According to the myth,
the stories about C?chulainn were almost forgotten until a bard named Sechan Torpeist revived them in the 7th century.
His magical spear was called Gae Bulg.

According to the Compert Culainn, C?chulainn was born with the name S?tanta, a son of Dechtere and he changed his name
after accidentally killing the smith, Culann's watchdog with a sliotar. C?chulainn took the dog's place as guard of the pass into
Ulster -- he became known as the Hound (c?) of Culann.

Excellent movie. I laughed

. I felt the pain within and how devastated Lizzie and Dahlia were without the tea so indicative in the title. Well, I suppose there is a good reason for the lack of tea...Lizzie murdered her parents so no tea for her (she deserves her punishment!) and Dahlia can't drink it anyways (it'll all just seep through her severed torso!)

A note to the webmaster: I appreciate the definition of the word odalisque (c'est francais mais oui) but to post the most well-known odalisque on your board is somewhat disconcerting. Not many people may know this, but Dieter runs the largest odalisque brothel in uptown Toronto, eh? He may be implicated with the High Court for his promiscuous business now, so when charges are filed we know where the fault lies.

I shall post my tears to your address so you may feel the flow of mine tears, doth thou not see the pain thou mayest causeth?

The Obstreperous Violation of Merriment
Mood:

sharp
Now Playing: Legendary Pink Dots-Dissonance
Topic: Enraptured Beef Tallow

Hellooo. It is rather bloggy in here.

Whoa, I hardly felt that Monday at all. It didn't even leave a mark. Neato. Here's the deal... three new words, one Mensa challenge, one trivia for fun,
(although I am not sure if it will be a trivial fact or a trivia question...) and a definition. Your brain needs the nutrition, no worries, mate.

Vocabulary ~ I don't know how "real" these words are. They are just funny.

anphelopsis, n. - total ennui, disinterest.
cerenibrium, n. - narcotized tranquility.
dort, n. - small object of scorn and derision.

Perhaps you won't be stumped by this MENSA challenge:

So far as we can determine, only one other word can be made from
the letters of INSATIABLE. Find it.

One trivia question, and it's multiple choice, too.

One of the trademark professions of old London has gone away -
Bernard Reyner agreed to retire as the last known practitioner of
what position?

A.) Seller of pigeon food in Trafalgar Sqauare
B.) Top-hatted "Chim-Chiminey Cheroo" chimney sweep
C.) Lord High Executioner

And finally, Why We Say It:

+Adam's Apple +
Many a man, such as Abraham Lincoln, has had a prominente Adam's apple. Male chauvinism is reponsible for the centuries-old name. Pioneer English
anatomists were puzzled by the section of cartilage that refused to stay in one spot. Folktales explained that Adam should not have taken the apple from
Eve in the Garden of Eden. When he yielded to her temptation, a piece of fruit stuck on the way down. Ever since, it has moved when men eat or talk in
order to warn: "Beware the temptress!"

In truth, the growth of the visible knot is stimulated by male hormaones. Because women have a small amount of this hormone, they also have a small
version of the Adam's apple.

And I Quote,
"It is better to understand little than to misunderstand a lot."

The cigarette, frequent dort in the eyes of the addicted, creates a state, on some occasions, of euphorius cerenibrium, but at the same time, becomes the posterchild of anphelopsis.

For the trivia question, I would like to submit "C" as my answer, although the pigeon guy is good as well. I do know, however, that those poor rusty souls (wink wink) were told to shove off of Trafalgar Square as all the pigeon crap (now you know that should be pronounced as a Scot, aye) was creating a smell of soot and poo.

Lastly, I must be an idiot because I cannot come up with another word that can be created out of the word 'insatiable'. Then again, however, not too many of you out there in blogland respond, so I may come out on top!

BANALITIES n. pl. ba?nal?i?ties - The condition or quality of being banal; triviality. Something that is trite, obvious, or predictable; a commonplace.

Now Playing: Godspeed You, Black Emperor-Kicking Horse on Broken Hill
Topic: Weebles SHOULD fall down

Show me the blog!

No vocabulary today. Not too much information. I am over processing a lot of you and that just doesn't seem fair, does it?
How about just entertainment? It's Monday, afterall. And who wants to think on a day like today? I can't even come up with
anything that is just running loose somewhere in my brain!!

Urban ~~Legends~~ Lies! "No one knows why" = crock o'shyte.

? A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why. False ?
? Ostrich eggs have no yolks, and no one knows why. False ?
? The Great Wall of China is visible from space (and no one knows why, LOL). False?
? Banging your head against a solid wall really hurts, and no one knows why. True and yes, we know why.?

Perhaps one fact:
?Scientists have identified only 4,000 different viruses, a fraction of the estimated 400,000 believed to exist on Earth.?

This is just interesting:
Redheads need 20% more painkillers

A University of Washington in Louisville study reported that natural redheads are more susceptible to pain and need more anesthesia when they go under the knife than do people with other hair colors. This confirms what anesthesiologists have suspected all along - that redheads can be a little harder to put under than others.

Scientists explained that redheads have a "defective receptor" for melanin, a pigment responsible for tanning. This same melanocortin-1 receptor cross-reacts with a related receptor on brain cells that influences pain sensitivity. Ouch!

Mood:

Now Playing: The Glove-Mr. Alphabet Says
Topic: Apple Oaths of Honor

Watch your blog hand!

So, Saturday has been and gone. And with what? Nothing. What have you accomplished this weekend?
No blog entries? Nothing to report? Are you still poking around at your brain trying to figure out what to
respond with? What about the definition for fuck all? That was bloody brilliant, I must say!

Why We Say It

You know those coined phrases we hear & say all the time, but never really knew where it may have come
from? Like phrases, or words, such as "ride shotgun" or "tuxedo," well, here you go. Let's cover a couple and
maybe we'll take on one more each day:

Ride Shotgun: Should you ever be asked to ride shotgun on a fund-raising campaign or other enterprise,
you would be expected to keep your eyes peeled for trouble. That is precisely what the shotgun- toting
guard did in the Old West. Usually assigned a seat beside the driver, the fellow who rode shotgun paid
little or no attention to passengers or horses. He stayed busy looking for signs of outlaws and was ready
just in case. The shotgun rider continues to be a vital member of a team which may face problems
on the way to a goal.
Tuxedo: Among some native Americans, the concept of a round foot such as that of the wolf was ex-
pressed by sounds that whites (ha ha, whites) rendered as "tuxedo." That, in turn, named a lake not
far from New York City. When the family of tobacco magnate Pierre Lorillard acquired the region near
the lake, it became an exclusive residential area. At a famous Tuxedo Lake Party, mens wore a new-
fangled dress outfit. Almost inevitably, it took the name of the resort that bore the name of a wolf's foot.

I want to see some of those vocabulary words from yesterday in your response! So, don't forget to use your brain!

How many times have our children wanted to "ride shotgun" and really played like the part without knowing the monodigital definition provided by their mum?

Purple is your blogger!

I had this awesome idea in my head yesterday and it is gone. It had everything to do with this magical little space we call 'blog' or 'blig,' whichever you find more appealing.

I really enjoy reading your entries especially when there are weird vocabulary words to use. They are most entertaining and well worth it. That DOES NOT excuse the rest of you from participating. I do happen to know just how many people are invited to join in this little piece of jen's mind and 98% of you respond with fuck-all when it comes to this. Therefore I would like to take this opportunity to rub it in and say, "fah-getta-bout-it" because I shant stop reminding you DAILY!

arvine, adj. - dweller of the fields, such as the field mouse, ex. The arvine creature ran hither and yon.
bombane, v. - to hurl invective and contumely.
cuptone, n. - the sound made by cupping the hand over the ear.
devile, v. - to think of as a devil.
enfemic, adj. - peculiar to women.
fasole, v. - to physically calm or restrain.
gorcon, n. - mythological animal with the head of a frog and body of a duck.
josan, n. - the fourth primary color, the others being red, yellow, and blue.
lolodacity, n. - campaign strategy peculiar to politicians in which they hit far below the belt.
monodigital, adj. - the action of one finger, ex. He was a monodigital typist.
nonono, adv. - extreme form of the negative, no!

Exitus (A humorous look at the obits, Biblical style!)

Jerusalem: King David Dead

David, former king of Israel, was found dead in the palace late last night. David was much loved and respected by his people, ruling over Israel and Judea for some thirty-three years, before turning over the throne to his son Solomon. A fighter in the mold of Muhammad Ali, David will probably be remembered best for his surprise hand-to-hand combat victory over the Philistine giant Goliath of Gath, during the reign of Saul, and his little victory dance afterward on Goliath's head. Aesthetically inclined, the ex-king spent his last years studying droll limericks with his seraglio.

Finally: What exactly is Stockholm Syndrome?

Woman I think all this vocabulary is preparing me for the SATs in two weeks. Michael is an arvine creature who's brother likes to bombane and is a gorcon. I think there is much lolodacity being shown in the current presidential campaign. Stockholm Syndrom - when your feelings it because 6 bottles went down your drain ;)

The gorcon, enfemic and devile in her thoughts as always, ate the josan arvine field mouse, who had the lolodacity to exclaim "Nonono!" and could not fasole the average voter who came to vote for the Centaur.

The Idiosyncratic Marmalade Cheese Spread
Mood:

not sure
Now Playing: Future Bible Heros-Viennese Lift

Don't make me blog this!

Oh, glorious day to you and yours! I am going to catch you up on the answers to past quizes right here, right now.

EHISSTW

WETTISH

WHITEST

As you know, that is the only challenge I had for you that required any answer of any sort.

And now for your delight...
...As defined by Humpty Dumpty in "Through The Looking Glass"

Brillig means four o'clock in the afternoon -- the time when you begin broiling things for dinner.

Slithy means "lithe and slimy."

Toves are something like badgers -- they're something like lizards -- and they're something like corkscrews. They are very curious looking creatures which make their nests under sun-dials -- also they live on cheese.
To gyre is to go round and round like a gyroscope -- Gyre is an actual word, circa 1566 a circular or spiral motion or form; especially a giant circular oceanic surface current.
To gimble is to make holes like a gimlet.
The wabe is the grass-plot round a sun-dial. It's called "wabe" -- because it goes a long way before it, and a long way behind it -- and a long way beyond it on each side.
Mimsy is "flimsy and miserable".
Borogove is a thin shabby-looking bird with its feathers sticking out all round--something like a live mop.

Rath

Mome is (possibly) short for "from home" -- meaning that the raths had lost their way.
Outgribing is something between bellowing and whistling, with a kind of sneeze in the middle.

I am most certain you can slip one of these ingenious words into your reply today!

Fact: From 1958 to 1961, Egypt and Syria were one country called the United Arab Republic.
Fact: We get the abbreviation 'lb.' from the Latin word for pound: "libra."
Fact: Abel Tasman discovered Tasmania, New Zealand and Fiji, but never noticed Australia.

The blind patrons at this restaurant were dining, unbeknownst to them, on roasted rath and stuffed borogoves.

brillig should mean cheap glasses, billig - cheap brille - glasses

The toves always gyre around my room making gimbles in my floor.
