EVERYTHING STILL NOT OK IN THE WORLD OF ETYMOLOGY

The Eternal Fascination of OK -Anatoly Liberman [Oxford University Press Blog]
The war in heaven (for linguists, anyway) rages on . A signifigant helping of hoo ha viz ok surrounds the pre -1839 existence of the phrase.
Linguist Allen Walker Read, who had written four major articles on OK for American Speech, and had been interviewed on the subject by the New Yorker, no less, cites The journal of Boston businessman William Richardson who describes a journey to New Orleans in 1815 allegedly thus; “Arrived in Princeton, a handsome little village, 15 miles from N Brunswick, ok & at Trenton, where we dined at 1 P.M.”
The author of this article rightly mentions that this makes no godamn sense and then cites Frederic C. Cassidy (American Speech 56, 1981, p. 271) who had tracked down the actual diary and found it to be "not ok"


It seems that every major linguist who tackles the subject moulds a major portion of their thesis out of bullshit and heresay and
then feigns being non- plussed that this hasn't yet occurred to anyone.......
It hasn't occured to anyone because of the difficulty of discovery of shit you just made up, you stupid fucking linguist.
I much prefer the portmanteau Yiddish expression "Nu?" or the equally expressive Jamaican "Seen?" to using OK (at least in the interrogative) . Why? Become pretentious like me , and then we'll both know, OK?

MOTHERLOAD OF HUH?

Opera, Playable Symphonic Music, & Physics Paper by Richard S. Tolley
It takes ages to load,even with DSL, and then you are rewarded with some of the finest "smarter than you" gobbbletygook ever fashioned by the hand of man. Underlined text that you think would be some kind of link turns out not to be. It's just to really emphasize his scattered thoughts about what's really going on. A classic. Bonus points for giving off that fragrent Tommy Chong Vibe.

EXTREME GETTING DRESSED



If this were one iota less cool than it actually is, it would be totally gay. That's right. It would go from having one cool point removed to gayness in its all-encompassing fury. Luckily , we will never have to witness such an occurance despite its brinkmanship. Because it's cool. Next up- sky diving into T shirts with ironic references to nostalgic television shows and movies .

THUMPER AS JUDAS

Holy Shit! it's Bambi
CHALLENGE YOURSELF…
AWAKEN TO THE SPIRIT OF ONENESS

Bambi is a unique and multifaceted personality known internationally for his varied contributions as a speaker, designer, recording artist, and humanitarian. He has represented the United States at various national and international events and forums, and has been featured in the media on topics such as corporate giving, human rights abuses, matters relating to world trade, and technology related issues affecting mankind.

Due to the influence of Christian, Hindu, Sikh, Muslim, Jewish, Tibetan, and Chinese ancestry inherited from his forebears, Bambi’s multifarious background instilled in him a fierce desire to erase international differences in the ways human beings care for one another. His ardent desire for helping others in need stems from the time he witnessed, at the age of six, the horrors of homelessness, hunger, disease, and despair at a refugee camp. The tragic scenes etched in his mind made him realize that he must join others to alleviate such misery amongst his fellow man.

As a recording artist, Bambi has just completed a new, romantic CD entitled Bambi With Love - Songs to Fall in Love…Again. This passionate, powerfully arranged, and fully orchestrated CD is comprised of thirteen love songs - nine of which are new originals. In addition, Bambi is introducing ONENESS, the first in a line of designer perfumes for men and women from the Bambi With Love Fragrance Collection, which exhort individuals to challenge themselves to reach beyond the boundaries of ones self, and to awaken to the spirit of oneness inherent in all humankind. In both these products, and all other endeavors, Bambi is committed to share in royalties and to dedicate his time to promote and support causes that are in the service of alleviating homelessness, hunger, disease and despair.

Bambi’s motto is, “Challenge yourself…” He feels that anyone can achieve anything if one challenges oneself enough. According to Bambi, “A unified humanity can collectively resolve problems… Divided, we only serve to create them.” He believes that, “The New Millennium has heralded the challenge of a New Renaissance, along with a spirit of oneness and a recognition of the interdependence of all life.” Further, Bambi sees, “The challenge is individually and collectively to awaken our true potential for goodness and greatness, and to realize that positive change begins with us. In so doing, we will find that the great heights of love and compassion engendered will infuse in us a deeper sense of caring and commitment and ultimately lead us all to a higher purpose and a grander vision - one that better serves the needs of all.”

PERSONAL NOTE OF THANKS … FROM BAMBI
As a student of life, my understanding to date is derived from a compilation of writings, conversations and observations learned from many cultures, traditions, religions, and from both Eastern and Western philosophies - all have been intertwined to form an invaluable walking stick on this continuing journey towards self-illumination and enlightenment.
In this process of my personal growth, I have come to not only recognize, but to honor the wisdom that has come from so many wonderful, sometimes surprising, and often times rather unexpected sources. It has been my privilege to learn and grow from a myriad of individuals, whose individual and collective contributions bestowed upon me such favors as love, understanding, guidance, acceptance, respect, belief, and faith. To all of you - parents, family, relatives, associates, friends, and to friends I’ve not yet met - I say, “Thank You!” For it is in this simple statement that I can truly express the feelings with which my heart overflows …Thank You for being!

With Love,
Bambi

UH, THANKS FOR THE FLUIDS- LOVE, CHRIST

Fluids For Christ Is a Christian Blood/Spermbank/Organ Donar Program that warns against recieving non Christian fluids.
The FAQ page consists of emails that essentially ask: "Dude, Are you Completely Fucked in the head?"
The guy is researching methods of preventing contamination of mass-produced food supplies by UnChristian vectors and methods of raising Christian livestock (cattle, pork, poultry) for human consumption.
Raising Christian Livestock ????!!!??? I liked it better when It was called Glat Kosher. One to watch, and shudder at.


FREE KITTEN-BECAUSE I PREFER BEETROOT

Sparky_2Cats who didn't match the carpet - and other shocking reasons people are dumping their pets [Daily Mail,UK]
"More and more pets are being dumped for frivolous reasons, according to the RSPCA, who last week revealed that the number of abandoned animals rose to 7,347 last year - a 23 per cent increase on the previous year."
Some of the reasons are heart breaking, others are just plain stupid.

The Letters of Louis H. Smith are a more than fascinating hunk of forensic evidence for his Messianic vision.
Pieced together from frequent, unpublished letters to the editors of Computer Gaming World, The letters- presented on the site in his own handwriting, have a message that computer gamers and laymen alike should heed post haste.

LEARNERS RALLY HERE!

Peaceworld is a free 500-page book.
The reason it's free online is that not even a vanity press would tackle such a sprawling opus, least of all one that had the answer to everything.

We all owe this graphomaniac some kind of cosmic debt for laying it all out like this in what passes for a cohesive manner in TopsyTurvey Land .

I love love LOVE texts that matter of factly tell you what's wrong with the cosmos.

It's all so simple. I can't believe no one has ever thought of it before (until now). Well, actually I can-the reason being that the author is an uh, er, unique individual whose thought process can not be duplicated, and I mean that in the worst way possible.

Gains extra points for using big font sizes and explaining why he had to write this (for three pages).
