Perhaps You’re Memestaken?: Volume One
In this, the first edition of the Memestaken series???, we explore less traditional translations for perhaps the dirtiest of potty-mouth stepstools and all-to-oft’ abused bit of acronym fornacular that is “WTF”. Unfortunately, despite it’s less-than-savory nature, this three letter blight on understanding managed to crawl from the prepubescent chat-muck in which it first festered and found it’s way into mainstream (even billboard) marketing:
- Well, that’s fantastic!
- With the family
- What’s this foolishness?
- With true feeling,
- Witless, tactless, fool
- Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
- With total frankness,
- Where’s the fridge, fire, f…?
- Why the face?
- What Tomfoolery!?
- Wow, that’s fascinating, funny, f…!
Don’t forget the ORG’s:
So… go ahead, make yourself obtuse.
kNow What I Think?
Good! ’cause, I haven’t the foggiest; that Jell-O has yet to hit the fridge & I’m too busy stirring…
Sometime ago, while watching an interesting documentary, the following bit of verbiage crawled past my eardrum and settled somewhere near the hippocampus:
“You do not know what you yourself think until you put it into words.” – Garrison Keillor
Perhaps the origin, or my predisposition towards this radio legend and his show (Prairie Home Companion), lent undue weight to these words; regardless, I was now packing a few extra pounds.
I have often counseled near enough ears to make an effort towards personal discovery and the formation of notions (despite their amorphous nature); yet, to have this same advice thrust upon me?
…Thus, am I left crawling on the shattered remnants of my glass pedestal, with only the unsavory taste of hypocrisy to feed my ego as I peruse the barren landscape over which I claim artistic dominion.
Go Ahead, Tickle the Sun
What happens when you tickle a sleeping Mr. Sun? Apparently (aside from vaporized fingers) you get some mid-air chortling & Sun Fuzzies. That’s right! The sun emits smaller, fuzzier, versions of itself for the sprinkling pleasure of its followers.
Given my fondness for forefinger flesh, I’ve yet to witness these blazing, fuzzy, forms of aeroplankton first hand; however, I was able to wrest the adorable plush version included in this post from an internet devotee which should offer fair representation.
Unfortunately, it would seem that knowledge of these floating, fun-loving, solar flares is somewhat limited (especially within the scientific community); with standard research yielding little results. However, I have it on good authority that video of this phenomenon does exist and simply has yet to make its way into public archives.
It’s amazing what new discoveries one can glean from parenthood.
