Sad but true. |

| bachman isn't smart enough to be a special ed teacher. you give her too much credit. Heh, agreed. Though (maybe because of my childhood problems with that sort of voice) I can't help getting the nagging feeling that she sees all of America the same way that special ed teacher saw all of the special... |

| You know that bizarre book about a death prediction machine, that book that was inspired by a comic about a talking dinosaur, compiled from random people's submitted short stories, and skyrocketed to #1 on Amazon for a day? The one that they're now making a sequel to? The one where they got about 20... |

| .... is her voice. Seriously, I think I would have this problem regardless of what my politics were. I can't hear her sickly-sweet, high-pitched, maple-syrup-slow voice without getting flashbacks to very dim-witted, very VERY condescending special ed teachers. Like the one who came up behind me by t... |

| I like Poland because its adjective form, "Polish," is spelled the same way as the verb "polish." So you can use it in Scrabble. And if you pronounce it like the nationality when you're putting it on the board, there's a chance your opponent will have a brain fart and not think of the verb, and chal... |

I don't know which is more disturbing: translucent slime with coconut shavings suspended in it... or a product that has two expiration dates, both of which are either 60 years in the past or 40 years in the future. |

| I remember sitting in my aunt's basement reading through Gary Larson's big book about what was going on in his head when he made Far Side cartoons. (The signature about antidaephobia reminded me of that.) I also remember sitting in my grandma's attic reading her old collections of Pogo comics. I bec... |

| I'm happy today because I completed a few of many small projects that will help me save money and resources. For one, I wanted a less-wasteful alternative to those little packaged eyeglasses-cleaning wipes. I had been using a cloth and a bottle of lens spray, but unfortunately the bottle was not ref... |

| On being a Pun-dit topic The word dit is French for speaking. Speaking in puns is a fun way to o-pun up different ideas, suggesting tangental pathways upun which to tread. This is great for picture thinkers like myself. :P Palindromes can be punindromes, too, sometimes amalgams. I often think of Sa... |

| Each time I tried shooting blindfolded I found it an aimless pursuit. I did a theatrical performance about puns. Really it was just a play on words. is this what ou mean by a pun? Haha, yeah. Those are puns, and I like puns. But puns are only part of my wordplay fascination. I think the definition ... |

| I'm kind of wondering how many people on the autism spectrum are pun geeks like me. There seems to be a split of some kind: I've heard of some Aspies who love puns and wordplay, and others who hate them. The real-life man who inspired "Rain Man" is described as an inveterate punster. The protagonist... |

| This is only semi-related to autism, but the tendency for autistics to have extremely strong senses got me thinking about various theories about blind people's senses of hearing, smell, etc. It's often said that when people lack a sense of vision, the other senses become stronger to compensate. It's... |
