an amazing discovery…

February 8, 2007 · Leave a Comment

I think we’re onto something here.

Mary-Jo fowarded this spam to me this morning:

SUBJECT:George said that a female thing is gossiping and a male thing is being the strong, silent type.

Patricia said that she has an apartment but she’s living off of student loans. Robin asked Leona what she thinks it’s going to be like in jail. Maybe the ass fucking would be a little too intense. Howard told him that he will have rapid weight loss if he did this challenge.
He may also talk about going to Bryant Gumble’s apartment on Saturday night and met Gayle King, Oprah’s friend. Artie said that he has a gig to do on Super Bowl weekend.
He said Sarah Silverman was there to do her comedy at this event they were doing. Howard said that after talking to Kelly Ripa they left the party.
Artie said that it would be good for the show.
Howard said it was insane to see this girl selling off her junk to fans when she should have inherited a ton of money. Howard pretended he didn’t know it was Emo until Emo told him who it was.
Howard talked about Cindy Adams backing Leona Helmsley in her court battle.
Howard pretended he didn’t know it was Emo until Emo told him who it was.
He talked about how bad some of his films were but he has enjoyed a couple of them. Artie said that both were horrible but fucking in the ass would probably be his preference. Eric said he would do it but Howard was going to hang up on him.
That led to Artie talking about how he turned down a role on a sitcom that’s coming out soon. 6:25amWhat Would Artie Rather Have.
com and started to wrap up with her.
Howard asked him what he was worth. He said they would make great gifts this Christmas.

And I already had this in my email box as spam:

SUBJECT:She said that she has had that done.

Robin laughed and said anything is possible.
He said that they don’t know anything about the Superfan Roudntable and flying people out to California. She said he’s very nice and not mean. He asked about the thread on SFN that they were talking about.
Howard told Janice to strip down for him.
KC continued to talk about the ”Hahn job” he got from her and she didn’t sound too happy about that.
Howard said he would like to see the original band but he would also like to see Eddie and his son performing together. Howard said the script is probably good and he’ll be kicking himself in the ass some day for not reading it. She said that her parents were very conservative but it wasn’t that bad.

Complimentary spams… amazing.

poetry terms

A Glossary of Poetry Terms

HENDIADYS (hen-DYE-a-dis): The use of a pair of independent words joined by and, where one of the words achieves the effect of a modifier, to express a single expanded idea, as nice and warm (nicely warm) or Tennyson’s:

waving to him white hands and courtesy (courteous white hands)

Shakespeare’s works contain many examples of hendiadys, such as “sound and fury” (furious sound) in Macbeth, and “heat and flame” (hot flame) in Hamlet.

This is an example of a Heroic Couplet in Iambic Pentameter:

You beat your pate, and fancy wit will come.
Knock as you please–there’s nobody at home.
