An Ullage Dozen (10): Word-Pollen

April 13th, 2010 · 3 Comments

Uh oh, here comes a human being.

Don’t buy that stuff;
You have enough.

There’s a snafu with this tofu.

When I was a kid, and learned that the real word for “potty” is “toilet,” I wondered what other lies I’d been taught.

You know, it is possible that play is more ennobling than work.

I’d like to find those beads that bought Manhattan; I bet they’d be worth a fortune now.

the gateway to the getaway

That glittering finery
Can’t mask the swinery.

I’m not just puking; this is the oral history of my lunch.

Classical skepticism (including Forteana) is unavoidably marginal in American society; it has no place in the long, tiresome squabble between blind faith and dogmatic scientism. Which side are you on: conservative religion or conservative science?

You’ll need some torque
To pop that cork.

    I absolutely adore “I’m not just puking, this is the oral history of my lunch”. What a genius! And very “Mad Magazine” circa 1968

    Gail, I don’t get the 1968 Mad magazine reference but since you included the words adore and genius, I take it that it’s a good thing.
