i remember being told in grade school that we had to invent a new egg carton for a contest and a company would use the winning design...we made them and then dropped them from the top of a flag pole, to see whose eggs survived. anyway it's now don-doning on me that there was never any contest, it was just a class project.

This OK video really resonates with me because it's the 'K' that makes me so memorable too 8-)

yeah the ok video is great. I love it. The 1830's bostonians with their purposefully butchered abbreviations totally anticipated Steve Brule. I love Knuff Ced.

I recently on this forum made an observation that older people ridiculing youth slang was probably something that has been happening forever, such as when the usage of the word OK first became more common. I didn't know its origin then though. But it's even more true now.

But thinking through possible meanings did cause me to recall the fuzzy feeling I got when i finally realized where Cut Copy got their name. :oops:


I've been reading about Javascript lately and I'm pretty sure I saw the exact phrase "source tags and codes" in something lol

Vinegar means acrid wine.
Combarieu declares that the songs of birds are not "musical" either, because they are "very difficult to take down in notation." See his Music-Its Laws and Evolution, 155. Will some divine power please create a "Musical" bird to sing the Air for G String in exact Equal Temperament for M. Combarieu?

Lefty ratted out Pancho, took the reward money, and hopped a train to Cleveland.

Related to my Tuppa-ware v Tupperware dondon:

It's "hyperventilate" because you're ventilating at an unusually fast pace not "hypaventilate" which is a nothing word that means nothing.

"the day they laid old pancho low, lefty split for ohio and where he got the bread to know...there ain't nobody knows"

we can assume that "they" isn't lefty's preferred pronoun, and that more people would know where lefty got his bread if he had killed pancho himself

I used to get a giggle out of listening to Stay With Me and imagining rod Stewart saying, "get your cell phone!" Instead of "get yourself home."
