The Adventures of LitBoy: Bill Brent's Blog

VERBOXIOUS: the trouble with words. 2009.06.16

"mining the empty meanings between humankind's inarticulate breaths since 2007"

No, It's Not All Good.

Lying, cheating, and stealing are not good. Bullying others is not good. Bad things happening to basically kind people are definitely not good.

And, while I'm gassing on like a tired old crank here, how about bad things happening to plants and animals that are at the butt-end of humankind's ignorance, vanity, and greed?

I especially like the current definition #4 of "It's All Good" at THIS LINK at urbandictionary.com. Basically, it states everything I could have crammed into a full-length essay within this post.

(As Mark Twain is attributed with saying, "Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.")

All The World's Problems, Explained In One Simple Statement

Ah, suddenly I grasp the root of all contemporary problems.

Paraphrased from Thee Internet:

"books have been the greatest source of dissipation of knowledge known to mankind"

You see, it's all that drunken book-reading that has brought us to our knees.

[It's "dissemination," by the way (meaning distribution, dispersal) -- not "dissipation" ... which means, well, something else.]

Point this at your well-meaning friends.

This bit of comedy comes to us via YouTube and a friend's LiveJournal blog. About four minutes long. Maybe it's just me, but this is the funniest thing I have seen so far this week.

Go on, click it, baby. You know you want some.

HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO FEEL SMART.

Is this art, or a collection of objects?

OK, now how about this one?

And finally, how about this one?

Can you explain your choice?

Post a comment, if you please.

(Oh, one rule —Any of these you think equal art, you gotta give 'em a title. Eric's exempt cuz I didn't add this rule till later.)

In any case, I'll let you be anonymous, if you want. Just let me know.)

SEE, HEAR.

Sometimes speech can be surreal on so many levels that it defies logical analysis. Some statements are so audacious and surprising that they can even cause us to momentarily lose control of bodily functions. So set down your drink, or whatever you are chewing on, and be sure you have ten minutes to learn the truth about relations between the sexes and "jackrabbits."

This one, closely related, is around seven and a half (minutes, not inches, you pervert), and it's all about how:

"Dick Will Make You Slap Somebody."

Like I always say, "every mind needs candy".

(Just make sure you are prayed up.)
