Simon,

Yeah it is human nature. It is evolution. But to consider whether Islam can be differentiated from Christianity in the way that it imparts or imbues its adherents with callousness, cruelty and utter disregard for human decency it is important to place each in historical context.

Christianity is merely a shadow of its former status and…[Read more]

Ya know you are right Enco. Hard core Muslim culture may indeed cause psychopathy to surface. Or any religious/secular ideology for that matter.

Sam Harris made an observation after he watched a video of Palestinians/Hamas dropping gays off buildings. Some of the executioners had a tiny bit of remorse or misgivings and carried out little…[Read more]

I have added a few more terms to the dictionary, starting with ‘Cardinal’.

Sickofancy. That is coined silver. It can be incorporated into that dictionary.

Enco, i was making a generalization that Jews and Asians are good citizens in that they come to new countries and want to assimilate and become educated and do well economically and socially. I’ve personally observed so called Cambodian boat people and their ascension was wild. A sharp contradistinction to Muslims who want to remain separate and…[Read more]

Let’s call it “Sickofancy“.

Southern belle, Lindsay Graham is saying Trump should be the Pope. How is such long line of ass kissers even possible? The line would persist for months if each of them had the chance to nuzzle up and plant their lips.

Why does an economic depression seem like a good idea?

Musk’s Parting Gift: The Construction of a Surveillance State.

Ambrose? Make room for Reg, will ya?

Very good. Excellent even.

Here’s a dictionary I started to compile recently.

Famous Jewish sports legends?

Funny.

Well lets see. Max Baer. Not sure of spelling. Hank Greenberg. And the biggest is Sandy Koufax.

Ya want a shorter list? Indian sports legends. I can’t think of any in USA. Maybe cricket or soccer. But wow there are a great many Indians and i don’t think sports is there thing.

Age 8 i bet a quarter against Tommy Doucette’s soft dictionary in a best of ten from the foul line. Used the heck out of that dictionary. Started reading from letter A.

So now there are two words in last two days that are courtesy of AZ added to the list of word licker linguistics. Mondegreen and cromulent. To remember cromulent just think of…[Read more]

@ Enco  – If I were using a hard copy dictionary…..I did and my parents made me eat it!  We used to get a new or uncommon word to learn every few days. I am addicted to cryptic crosswords and have done at least one but usually 2 or 3 every week since I was 18. I average about 35 books a year. So I am very good at sophisticated blasphemy 🙂

Funny, before I looked it up, I thought jejune was when SeSummer began.

Enco, please take a seat at the front of the class 🙂

Reg, you’ve confused me with Enco…

Apologies to you both…..I was thinking that you Jake, would appreciate the word when you read it.  Not quite a mondegreen though. Mrs. Malaprop, you have a rival in Lisa Simpson, but don’t worry Lisa, iconoclasts are very welcome here 🙂

Ever see that movie “Airplane”?  A passenger asks the flight attendant if she has any light reading available. She brings back a pamphlet entitled “Famous Jewish Sports Legends”.
