Give Me Frivolity Or Give Me Hen!
Mon Jan 08 2007

Well, the Computer Fairy musta sprinkled us with ionized pentium dust, because here we are. Though I don't envy Hub Man the re-assembling of his information which is scattered all over disks and floppies. But that's the price you pay for upgrading.....

***

The other day, DeepBlueSea was making up words in this entry.

I love to make up words. It is in the great tradition of Mark Twain to cook one up from time to time.

So I am making you an offer. You remember 'Fractured Fairytales' from the old Rocky and Bullwinkle show? Well, this will be the 'Demented Dictionary'.

Anyone reading can submit one made up nonsense word.

I will write the definition for it.

We might have fun.

It's that simple.

Ready.
Set.
GWARK!


Gwark: Pronunciation: Guh-wark - Function: verb : 1. The act of shoving off quickly, not knowing exactly where you are going, but desirous of making a big show of . . . shoving off, to impress your friends, and the odd bystander or two. 2. Sound made by the Bluebellied Snark when he finds out someone has drunk all his Baily's while he was off having fish and chips with his nefarious friends.

"Is it possible
that anyone cares
that I am forced
to endure
this kind of
nonsensical frivolity?
Couldn't she find
some better way
to use her time?
I'm going to go fold clothes
or pull weeds
or something useful
like that.
Take my advice,
don't encourage her.
Let's all do our taxes
instead.
How's about it?"

    Gwark AH So I knew him well, Gwark was a daily visiter to my farm pond, Gwark was by all acounts
    fits the word. Not only the best fisherman but could slip along the shallow water in dead of winter seeking breakfast, lunch and dinner. He also drove my english setter Sam mad for it was Sams job to keep all Gwark's off the Pond. This was a daily job and Gwark would always wait till last second before with a loud Gwark leap in the air Gwarking and defacating a stream of very foul calling card.Sam knew the the Gwark well and had such a hatered for him that only death would cure. This war went on for months the Gwark was cosumming a great many fish and felt smug for he was a (protected). But there came a day he ate too many and in effort to get air born the arkward flapping did not get him air borne. Sam put a end to the war and the great Gwark was history. Now the Gwark is better known as The Great Blue Heron and has a 6 1/2' wing span and stands about a little over 3' tall.
    So Gwark

    OK, here's one. How about fizzolity.

    RYQ: I feed my cats Purina ProPlan, chicken and rice formula. No Flight Kibble. And no Teleport Kibble. They learn those things on their own, and truth be told, I'd heartily approve a ban on both!!

    Shalom

    Dear Red,

    I do understand how you feel, but this type of frivolity is actualy considered a healthy activity for our non-feathered friends. It diverts their minds from those frustrating things of life that they have no control over and believe me when I say there are many. Why I was reading the news the other day and about lost my tail feathers I was so upset.

    Try to humor She Who Will not Be Named as she is doing her best to maintain a sense of humor in a world turned upside down. Besides it could be fun you know; this making up words thing. I'm guessing you and I could come up with a choice one or two ourselves if we gave it some thought.

    I'm going to submit truliest as it is the first thing to pop into my head. It is not very original really, but in the spirit of the game does it really matter?

    The garden can wait as can the taxes. Make a cup of tea and think a bit; I'll bet you have a great new word too.

    Always your friend,
    Quilty
