Synopsis

Write Out Loud -- The thoughts, musings, meanderings, puns, stories - even the Goodge and Badge Oaks contained in this collection have been dredged from my mind. Any resemblance to any other persons pre-existing jokes, stories or thoughts are purely coincidental and unintentional. I can only assume, deem and claim anything as being original when I dream it up myself, yet the ever-present rhetoric drone of the television can subliminally and criminally influence language and culture instantly, and much of that is what so much of this concerns. Groups of words are transitional viruses, which carry with them the messages contained within stories and thoughts that are more powerful than any illness that I know of. When there are changes in language, I have to find out who started using it. Then its nice to know when and why it was done, perhaps even the intended meaning (always optional). Sometimes it is quite helpful to go along with these changes in order to communicate with, say, the guy who robs you at gunpoint and you dont know what he has just asked of you. It will be difficult to comply with what may have been a request without knowing the bib on the gig (Unless you just want to be some dumb palooka that doesnt know any better).I have either spoken or written out loud much of the following in late 2005 through early 2006 and hope it will amuse you.
