I like this image even though I don’t like it. It looks fake, it doesn’t feel natural. But it also has something going for it.
Art: Flower for Spring
Simple and artificial looking.
Abstract: Eye Bottle Stopper
What is in the mind is not the mind.
How come nobody says they are top brained or bottom brained? Or maybe they should use compass coordinates. Northeast brained?
What is in the bottle? Who made the bottle? Did the person who made the bottle stopper make the bottle too?
Ah well, some questions are there to be answered, and others are there to chill on a beach sipping from a bottle with a weird-ass eye stopper.
W.O.K.E.
What Outrage! Koan Exegeses.
We could all be a little more woke in the weeks after the switch to Daylight Saving Time, so here are some fanciful meanings for if woke were an acronym. I’ll throw them down as headings for added effect.
What Ostriches Keep Eating?
Worms, Oranges, Kiwis, and Escargot.
Woven Ornaments of Karma Engineers.
The Wyoming-Ohio-Kansas Express.
Weather Outlook: Kites Extended.
World-famous Operatic Kazooist Enlists.
Weak Omen? Kitchen Eels.
Wasteful Orphans Kept Earnings.
Woozy Oxen Kicks Enemy.
War Over! Knight Exultant.
Wanted: Open Keyboard Electronics.
The K is the bottleneck here. Not a lot of choices for words that start with it, and too much repetition would have been boring. But this is plenty.
Now, when you hear the fools cry, “We’re going to put a stop to all this wokeness,” you can think: “They’re campaigning to cancel a train route between three unconnected states?” or, “They want to save the market for invertebrates and fruit from those pesky ostriches!” “Finally! Tax those greedy orphans!” Or whatever.
Probably not. But it makes as much sense to the rational among us as the slurish use of woke by a bunch of grifters.
