Tynersburg

place. Industrial city where most of Ohio's fridge magnets are forged. Located where the magnetite miners had easy access to both water and oil Tynersburg grew from a small hamlet to a bustling metropolis at the turn of the century when fridges began to be formed from metal instead of wood.

Home of the Fighting Woodchuks pasanka choir and a Bavarian Beer Stein interpretive center, Tynersburg boasts a bold hold on the past and a niche-based future.

.....................................................................................
Isn't Tynersburg the home of both an Olympic archer and a famous composer of Indian ragas?

Why yes. I believe it is, and I think you can buy cleverly constructed fridge magnets celebrating both of them.

soulberg

n. short but intricate written piece containing insights and truths on the human condition as well as sly amusements lurking in complex word play. Ninety percent of the meaning is hidden beneath the surface.
John Lennon and James Joyce employed many intricate soulbergs which force the reader to think about what he's reading. The titles "A Hard Day's Night", "In His Own Write" and even "The Beatles" employ puns which are the simplest form of soulbergs.

Hmmm. Deep. Very deep.
