Man-cession

[scaredyclassic]

it is actually impossible to offend me. i think people sometimes try, but, no…. it just cannot be done. long story, but it’s kind of work/life related…

ironically, I was the Spelling Bee champ of a certain large geographical area in the late 1970’s and also worked several years as a professional writer, later work required intense writerly precision.

perhaps my poor presentation shows self-mocking contempt for my own scattered thoughts, or perhaps it reads as contempt for the audience. I’d bring it up in therapy, and try to straighten the issue out, but unfortunately I’m not in therapy, or if i am in therapy, it is limited to various chat groups like this one. in fact, now that i think about it, i think the speedy uncensored, reflexive posts are an attempt to dredge the admittedly shallow puddle of my subconscious in a low-budget manner. of course, that’s kind of dumb. and potentially irritating.

i have the book — eats shoots and leaves — on the shelf here but have never cracked it open. should i read the book or cut straight to the movie.

i do have a very real hatred of spell check programs. they cheapen the achievements of spelling bee champions. they make all that work, all that skill, all that time seem pointless. spelling used to be impressive. much blood sweat and tears were spilled on the spelling bee floor. ok, well, maybe not so much blood, but a lot of sweat, and tears. now it’s just a computerized program. the world has changed. the world has changed.

i hate spell check. hate it.

poor spellers should suffer the fate of being exposed for the crappy spellers they are.

now, on deeper reflection, i think my poor spelling is a kind of misdirected action, an unconscious anger toward these damned spell check programs.

this is kind of a breakthrough for me.

I think I’ll be able to spell better now on this forum.

Thnaks ot ou all.

(that last line was a joke)….

but if you have to explain it …

I didn’t know they made it into a movie, I can’t see how a book that reads more like an instruction manual with commentary could be made into a movie. It’s funny in it’s own way, stick with the book.

It was less about spelling than it is about spaces and one letter from one word being placed on the next word. In the saturday night live skit, Sean Connery reads “Japan-U.S. Realations” as “Jap Anus relations” and reads “find these men” as “find the semen” which completely changes the meaning by just sliding one letter or moving the punctuation. They used to do that skit all the time when Will Ferrell was on the show, I couldn’t find the link to the one where he picks the category “the rapists” wich actually read “therapists.”

Actually spell check wouldn’t catch those, just read it through once before submitting, it will make the jokes funnier. We are all a little crazy, forget about the rapy, see, now that was funny.
