#Fun with Words

[merakisphere]

Here's a Fun Fact, did you know this!?

"Was it a car or a cat I saw"

Spelled backwards is:

"Was it a car or a cat I saw"

Can someone remind me what you call these types of play on words? Also, if you know anymore, please share! :)

I am overjoyed that you've come across my handmade work! These are fascinating pieces that continue to captivate my attention since seeing them back in the early 90s. #corememory

I construct every piece by hand as you can see in the video. Please help me decide on a name for this crackly-blue colour way, as it's current name (Crackled Cobalt) feels a bit uninspiring...

Please consider reblogging/sharing my post as this helps get the word out that these still exist! I'm certain for every 10 reblogs, it'll cross paths with someone who also shares memories of these when they were younger.

the verb "to skin" seems like it should mean "put skin on" rather than "take skin off". imagine if we did this with other verbs. i'm going to hair my head (shave my head). i'm going to water the plants (suck them dry). i'm going to paint the wall (scrape all the paint off). i'm going to pants - no wait that one actually works that way. so, skin and pants. the two things more known for being taken off than put on.

for-prophet organization (four-prophet organization?)

Sounds like a fantasyland tax-avoidance scheme! No gods to worship, just the prophets themselves. All four of them. Who are very good at marketing. Of course it's not a cult; why do you ask?

Next Stop

Okay so here's the thing--

My guard went out to lunch

Then one shuffled up offering

Profundity temporarily covering

Nitty-gritty insipidity--for shame!

Trenchcoat drenched...look away.

Parking my backside on a bench,

Sitting out another grand slam game;

Pop up scrimmage on the fly,

Suiting up umpire style...

Learned lesson, belatedly applied.

Supplanted, supply and demand

Disenchanted by an elephant

In the room I read wrong.

My head can't wrap around

Tunnel vision distance...

Put the fun in funneling,

The scam in scampering.

There's nothing to see here--

Heavily cloaked fully clothed,

Dragging busted baggage...

So it's not just a compact carry-on.

That's fine, I'll take my chances

On the next bus to stop by.

Prompts: there's a thing, park bench

A ghost from Generic Fantasy Past possesses a modern human but doesn't have complete control.

Something happens which startles both of them.

The ghost attempts to say "what sorcery is this?"

The human simultaneously tries to say "what the fuck?"

What actually gets said is "What fuckery is this?"

Google docs trying to change "have good taste" to "taste good".

Yep, those two things mean exactly the same thing. I foresee no problems.

An email from my alma mater

Me: "What are they teaching those fish?!"

Dad: "How to solve their own problems."

The La-La-Theory #2

it’s cool how “i gotcha” and “i gotchu” are two slangy ways to write “i got you” but they have distinct meanings

Coordination

Mutual appreciation

No depreciation in value

Nor use for self-

Deprecation

Simultaneous equations

Sixty-nine problems

One smouldering solution

Yin yang give-and-take culminating

In a satiating conclusion

Inspired by the #kamasutrachallenge prompt: sixty-nine

Writing a sequel to One Becomes Two (just because I want to). The title is Two Become One, and yes, I'm very proud of myself for that.
