The Oxford English dictionary of taste
Why is it that certain words taste like their definitions? (Please bear with me, I appreciate that my rambling may be unbearable, but come 2006 when I turn 18 they'll be legally able to lock me away in a mental asylum, where I'll be the only one subjected to these incessant, irrelevant and nearly always half baked thingamajigs *. Except of course my councilor who would probably be fantastically over paid for his 'job' which consists of nosing in other people's private lives under the pretence of being a good listener.
* thingamajigs seems to be the appropriate definition for these little nuggets of writing, at least until I publish my first novel and when lounging about in my mansion with my book writing buddies JK Rowling and Stephen King I receive a letter from Oxford (the dictionary not the scholar infested place.**) which informs me that they've fashioned a word especially for me that defines my compulsive urges to write these little thingamajigs.
** Mind you it would be wrong of some desk confined geek at Oxford dictionary HQ to take offence at the fact that there is a possibility that some people may misidentify which Oxford I was referring to especially when I have now mentioned this 'tycoon of the word-list compiling world' twice.
Who the hell are Oxford to complain at my writing anyway? Those big headed word boffins make me so mad! Why I ought to throw the book at them! (cheesy and completely unfunny pun most definitely intended.) My teachers tell me I can't concentrate (they also tell some of my mates to calmly put the knife down so its not that bad), hence the the irrelevant *s above. Come on Joe concentrate, no more*s. ***
*** I said no more *s! Do you really think that if I said no more *s then I would come all the way down here again to write about and explore some other branch of irrelevance prompted by the original text? Don't be ridiculous, scroll back up and lets get back to the point shall we?****
**** Please don't groan! I realise that I am now taking this * joke (if there ever was one) way too far. However, it does raise an interesting point. Well it isn't that interesting, its just that this particular * the one your reading now, * number 4, is a filler. A nothing * to waste time until the thread of the original idea for this thingamajig calms down and agrees to play nicely again. (Myself and the original idea just had an argument over my rudely interrupting it's flow with all these irrelevant *s.) *****
*****I know, I know. I'm just making diplomatic relations with that particular idea worse by continuing to blabber on like this however in our argument that idea was quite rude and I just need to remind it who's boss. Yeah thats right 'word taste idea', you heard me, just remember who's brain this is matey. Your staying in one of the plushest apartments in my block (yet again cheesy pun definitely intended) and most of the time I'm a damn good landlord so you just watch your lip, or in fact watch whatever the slang term for vocal attitude is for you ideas. You watch it very, very carefully.

| That made me laugh. I love the long, rambleing random sentances. And the ongoing joke about the *s. |

right! You could have carried on for eternity and I would have still read it. The ramblings are hilarious. You have indeed taken the joke too far. It's gone as far as the end of the road( I mean the sound of my laughter, not the joke)
Cheers. |
