Words…Part Deux

Who ever thought that a single word like “please”, in context, could be so humorous?  Yet Henny Youngman made a comedic career out of four simple words and a pregnant pause: “Take my wife….. please” (Youngman).  Yes, the word “timing” says it all.

Take the word “value”….please.  How I hate this word.  There are so many variations to the theme that surround this word that any smart minded non English speaking immigrant to our country would think twice about trying to learn or understand the English language.  For example, an individual or group’s perception of worth, based upon personal or collective experiences in a shared environment can only define or measure “value.”  “Value”” is illusive, as there are more perceptions of “value” out there are there are cars on the road.

Let me try to exemplify exactly what I mean here:

In 2005, I picked up my dear ole mother’s car: a 1979 Mercury Zephyr, something akin to a Falcon or Fairmont – Ford only knows.  My mother could not drive anymore. She was 91 for heaven’s sake.  The car had about 56,000 kilometers on the O.D.  Mint condition!  Lime Green with a sickly, yellowed tan interior.

Now the market “value” of that car in 1979 was $6,500.00. Twenty-six years later the book “value” was about zilch. The insured “value” – who knows, but the assessed “value” was about $3,000.00 and climbing, as long as it didn’t disintegrate during the long hard winters.  Its “value” would continue to rise in “value”” as long as its condition remains, well, “valuable.”

Obviously my mother held considerable sentimental “value” in that automobile.  As I pulled away from the big city for the drive back to my home town I came to understand the hereditary “value” of this gift to me and the intrinsic “value” of the trust she placed in me to take good care of Betsy.

I made it back home in one piece although the water pump went out around some god forsaken country hick town.  Between that and thinking about the local Elvis sightings, I was beginning to ponder the meaning of life and the mechanical “value” of the car; the emotional “value” that this machine may have had and its effect on my own sense of “value” and well being.

Arriving home I thought about its economical “value” as it had taken over a tank of gas to cover the 300 miles from the really big city to my hometown.  Had I been taken for a ride?  Were there aspects of this car that were known only to my mother, the parish priest, her hairdresser and the bagger at her local supermarket?  I had to contemplate its utility “value” considering the other two cars I had.

Yet, thinking of my dear ole mother and somewhat excited about the possibility of getting perhaps $3,000.00 for the car’s assessed “value” I thought hmmm, but quickly shook any thought of that out of my mind for if I “valued” my life I dared not even think about selling dear ole Betsy.

Trying to define “value” can be problematic, which in itself is an extremely overused word.  It’s like common sense.  Something that is taken for granted yet is extremely rare in today’s world.  And trying to make sense out of “value” as in “What are your values?”, as opposed to someone else’s values is like an academia nut trying to make sense out of common sense and coming up with pure nonsense.

Words can mean different things to many different people.  It is how we shape them, construct them, and construe them that are key to our success in using them.  Timing may be one thing but context is everything.  Take my word for it.  You’ll be surprised at how much fun words can be.  You’ll be truly amazed at your wordiness.

Song of the day:

Or would you rather have a Prius?

Have a great weekend and Cannabis Day

See the source image

It’s the law of the land. Canada, the first country to legalize marijuana.

I can’t realistically celebrate being a Canadian 01 July while we have a Prime Minister intent on destroying our country.

 

SJ………………………………….Out of it!

 

Grannie was a Trannie!

Can’t wait! Only 73 more sleeps and the Maldives will be the biggest reef on the planet – so says the UN. See, these Maldivians are really, really worried. Get out now, while you still can.

Before Hugh Hefner’s body can even get cold, Playboy has its first transgendered person on its cover, or undercover. Geesh. I guess they couldn’t wait for Hugh’s demise to undercover this one. I am sure every  hot-blooded male is salivating. Will young bucks everywhere still be hiding this mag under their sheets. Should be called Playboy or Playgirl or Playzir, Playzey or Playzits or Play Doctor or Play He-man Nurse or Play abcdefghijklimnopqrstuvwx and y and z chromosome.  Perhaps Playdope. Love this post:

“So Playboy’s first tranny does all these circus level contortions to hide it’s junk and man hands. It isn’t natural to men to try and pose in such ways. Women have some sort of animal ability to control their body and pivot their body parts in a sensual way. Trannies don’t have this ability which is why they look like they have a hernia or a broken back in photos such as the example of the Playboy clunker. What’s next? Grannies I heard.

It’s all just tricks as they want you to focus on a heavily Photoshopd face and long hair to make you even think for a split second that you are not looking at a freakazoid.”  So true, at least that is what I have heard. Honest!    Geesh!

And this: “North Carolina’s Dem. Gov. Calls For Judge To Allow Men In Women’s Bathroom.” Geesh. What is all the fuss about. When you have to go really, really bad the brain doesn’t give two shits about the stool one has to play with to take a load off.. Is the lid up or down? Who gives a crap. X or Y be damned. I have to go and I am going here….NOW!

Turd-ope’s new tax laws for small businesses? bah hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah. That’s a good one. Seems that the new tax grab will end up costing the government more money as they decide to lessen the load on small businesses to 9%, which means they have to give back more money than they had hoped to take in….bah hahahahahahahahahahahahah. This means that the average guy and gal, us, those middle class wankers will be screwed yet again because it is our money that the government has to use to give these guys a break. Liberal tax plan is all smoke and mirrors. hahahahahahahahahahahahah. Next up? Liberalizing weed which is code again to shaft the middle class. Being stoned all the time it is hoped that the general public will not know or care that they are being shafted. See, I told you this new math was for real. All governments are adopting it:

The 3,700-year-old Babylonian tablet Plimpton 322 at the Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Columbia University in New York.Liberal tax plan is based on the discovery of the new math: 1 + 1 = 3!

 

The Hunt for the Brain-Eating Amoebas of Yellowstone…where is Yogi Bear when you need him!

From the I failed Geography in school file comes this nugget: “Germany will not go the nuclear route for clean power in fear of Tsunami’s wiping them out” Give your head a shake Merkel!

Legalizing Marijuana. This just in from Colorado: “In 2012, we were promised funds from marijuana taxes would benefit our communities, particularly schools. Dr. Harry Bull, the Superintendent of Cherry Creek Schools, one of the largest school districts in the state, said, “So far, the only thing that the legalization of marijuana has brought to our schools has been marijuana.”  Yes but student enrollment is way down therefore the education cost per student had decreased substantially. “This is a win, win situation for our school board’s bottom lines.” One official snorted, then coughed, his eye balls ablaze. But on the positive side sales of Doritos in our school’s cafeterias have skyrocketed

Boy Scouts checking out girls by allowing girls to be Boy Scouts. Yeah, that’ll work! Heard in passing that the boys can’t wait for the next sleepover!

Bernie Sanders Economic Plan: “Sure, you’ll all pay more taxes…but you’ll get more free stuff. It’s all boils down to the collective, don’t you know!”

 

Crazy days.

 

 

SJ…………………..Out…………..have a great weekend.

 

PS: daylight is getting shorter here in Mill Bay, which means that I wake up later so my posts will be coming on-line later in the mornings.

 

Nature’s Gas!

71 days until the Maldives disappear. UN sources on Global Warming

Image result for pics of maldives beachesYou’re going to need those watercraft – for sure!

Canada cannot tell us what to wear. Perhaps, but they’re trying to tell us everything else we can or cannot do. Interesting that the new NDP leader, a Sikh, is against this Quebec Bill that will ban anyone from wearing a Gurkha, oops Freudian Slip, a Burkha,  or other religious garb. So, would that include this:

Image result for pics of priestsOr this:

Image result for pics of the popeWhat’s he smoking? Heard that this Pope advised Trudeau on his new initiative to legalize marijuana. It’s the spiritual thing to do man. The Pope was heard to say.

Trudeau was asked about this new controversial legislation coming from Quebec. He was coy about the whole matter although he seemed to have won the 2015 erection, oops that Freudian Slip again, on this very issue saying that Canada supports the Burkha. Liberal MP Iqra Khalid, who sponsored a motion known as M-103 to condemn Islamophobia, was brief. “I think that no person should be told how to dress or how not to dress, and that’s about it,” she told reporters. Okay, have a look at the new special ops uniform for the military. How’s this working for you.

Hey, it’s a free and open society, isn’t it?

Hey it’s all identity politics now-a-days. Not what’s good for the country but what’s good for the LGBTABC…………………s of the nation.

Japanese scientists discover huge Man Cave… oops Moon cave – on Mars? Say what?

Japan scientists say they have discovered a 31-mile-long underground tunnel on the moon that could help protect astronauts from huge swings in temperature and damaging radiation: Japan scientists say they have discovered a 31-mile-long underground tunnel on the moon.

“Trump is worse than Hitler.” This bit of journalistic fluff reported by Newsweek. Is this rag of a mag still operating?  Yeah, we’re going to believe anything that comes out of the mouth of this guy:

People watch a live television program showing North Korean leader Kim Jong Un salutes during a parade in Pyongyang, North Korea, at the Seoul train station in Seoul, South Korea, Saturday, April 15, 2017. This just in: “Anna Faris is dating again after split from Chris Pratt.” Oh, that makes my day. I have only this to say: ” Who the F*&K is Anna Faris and why should we give two S*&Ts about who or what she is dating?”

Climate Sensitivity Graph! Yeah, That’ll do it. Do What exactly? Further our understanding of the whole Climate Change thingy, that’s what!

“UK county denies taxpayer-funded surgery for smokers and the obese”(Rebel). A slippery slope that is soon to come to Canada’s health care system. But hey, free samples of weed will be given out to those turned away so that they can tune out. But hey, don’t fret because in this country you can now identify as a woman, or a man, blow weed and kill nana if she is annoying you. Progressive’s regressive I would dare to say!

This just in from the Moonbat State – California. A third gender category will soon be the law of the Mooonbat land. Binary, as in Non Binary. Binary – is a mathematical term relating to the numeral two, as in a man and a woman. Non Binary means noting or relating to a person with a gender identity or sexual orientation that does not fit into the male/female or heterosexual/homosexual divisions…………Oh you mean Eunuch?

Furthermore: “The establishment of Harems is on the increase in the Moonbat State. Governor Brown is sexstatic”…oops that Freudian Slip again…ecstatic about the whole affair. Computer Scientists and Mathematicians are all in a titzy…oops tizzy fit.. about the whole binary thingy.

This bit of journalistic fluff: “What’s Boko Haram’s Real Name?” Oh you mean the guys that wrote and played this:

Oh those other guys, you mean.

There is a boom in America’s natural gas. Changing world markets. This is being led by California’s flatulence level legislation in that all citizens are only allowed to breath for a minute out of every 5 minutes to cut back on CO2 levels. Unintended consequence here was a dramatic rise in “farts”… nature’s most natural gas!
