Amusing comments are always welcome at <B>hella frisch</B>, and the more creative uses of the English language, the better - as far as I'm concerned, any day on which I don't make up at least one new word, that's a day wasticated.Matt Hellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03826702936313274744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11702847.post-1123717998799270722005-08-10T17:53:00.000-06:002005-08-10T17:53:00.000-06:00I am retarded.I also have a confession.I did not i...I am retarded.<BR/><BR/>I also have a confession.<BR/><BR/>I did not intentionally misspell philosophy.<BR/><BR/>There you have it.<BR/><BR/>I am so ashamed.<BR/><BR/>- TimTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119506995151471437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11702847.post-1123682216833180152005-08-10T07:56:00.000-06:002005-08-10T07:56:00.000-06:00I was hoping you'd notice I left a little low hang...I was hoping you'd notice I left a little low hang ripe fruit for you to pluck!<BR/><BR/>Ha!<BR/><BR/>:)Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119506995151471437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11702847.post-1123678054699946832005-08-10T06:47:00.000-06:002005-08-10T06:47:00.000-06:00tim gallagher - Wow, Tim, I'm impressed - you soun...<I>tim gallagher</I> - Wow, Tim, I'm impressed - you sound like just the kind of person I'm looking for - smart, self-confident, anal... <BR/><BR/>I also appreciate the freebie on the use of the word "socialist". Suffixes were never my strong suit; I always worry about being oversuffixualizisticational. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, this sounds like the beginning of a promising and mutually beneficial relationship - we should sit down some time and get it in writing, though.

I would have chosen to render the phrase, "An appealing vision, if maybe a slightly socialist one." this way:<BR/><BR/>"An appealing vision, if maybe a slightly socialistic one."<BR/><BR/>As a socialist is a person who believes in socialism.

Wouldn't it be equally nice, and much more capitalist, to have a world in which everyone's annoying habits can become marketable skills? Need a nose-picker? He'll be there in 15 minutes, have your credit card ready! Okay, maybe that wouldn't be nice at all.<BR/><BR/>I'll be careful not to tell your friend Tim, though if he does find out, I expect a cut.Matt Hellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03826702936313274744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11702847.post-1123618321347383912005-08-09T14:12:00.000-06:002005-08-09T14:12:00.000-06:00Matt, I really enjoyed this post!

Except if my friend Tim finds out that someone is promoting financial remuneration for blog editing, he'll want to start charging. Actually, knowing him he probably couldn't help himself. One of his hobbies is correcting individuals' mispronunciation and he does it maliciously. I have to say that whether I like it or not I'm going to become a more astute writer if by no other reason at least by the sheer goodness of the philanthropic blog editors of the free world. Hmmm...yes the free world...sounds nice, I think I'll go they're.Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00193616005613974044noreply@blogger.com
