Friday Lite - Parenthicons to Wordamicons

In Case You Missed It
A Conversation X Michael McCabe, Bill Slease and Others
(as though it is worthy of repeating)


Bill, Bill likes to close parentheses with a smiley (like this :) I call this a parenthicon. I use it often when composing electrograms.”

Michael, “... and I thought parentheses were tomes on parenting and electrograms were messages from our politicians. Little did I know their real meaning. Shall I add your compopositionings to my fictionary.”

Bill, “Yes please do enregister my confictionaries.”

Michael, “They are definitably fictionable enough that if Dubya's children ever run for office, you could gain deployment as screechwriter.”

Cathy, “Yay for making up wordamicons! :D

Heath,“Elect-o-grams come from our politicians.”

Michael, “My friend Schmidt has only one eye. Would .) be a Schmidticon?”



This came in from my pastor just today:

Terry
, “How about ‘pre-crastination’ as in “It was ordained by God that I put off this project until tomorrow!”

Michael, “This is a good word; I shall not only add it to my fictionary, but I will embrace it and practice it religiously. I am for it - in the Presbyterian way: pro-destinedly.
However, the actual meaning of ‘pro-destination’ may be just ‘the place I wanted to go from the beginning.’”

Ah yes, the beginning, an idea the D-backs can support.

I should have pre-crastined this post.


Just think: And teachers are worried about the effects of  texting on students’ writing skills.
