bookies

n. People who bet that absorbing information from written texts will improve their lives somehow.

………………………………

My school has closed their library. The principal is gambling that the growing reliance on artificial intelligence will obviate our society’s obsequious obsession with bookies.
So, you object?
Obviously.

library of congress

You mean ‘homelasses’?

Noble Peace Prize

n. Any meaningless award given by a fawning organization hoping to curry favour with a despot and simultaneously deflect attention from their sordid history.

…………………………………..

So you’re saying the Nobel Peace Prize is also a Noble Peace Prize just like that ghastly FIFA Peace Prize? Mind blown.

The bigger question is why didn’t any headline writers go with “FIFA AWARDS TRUMP THE NOBLE PEACE PRIZE”?

Too obvious. Clever puns should be subtle.

goal posts

n. Brief un-needed over-hyped social media descriptions of a minor event or a string of minor events such as every basket and foul in an NBA game.

…………………………………………………

Every day there are crazy notes in my mailbox about the economy. I am going to put them all in my trash folder with the all the complaints about the FIFA peace prize and the ongoing wars.

Time to move the goal posts? Again?

ravening

v. Rhythmically asserting from the shadows that the era of all-night dehydrating ketamine and MDA fueled dance parties is dead, and by extension, reminding music fans that all crazes will one day die.

………………………………………………………………….

Tell that lunatic with the goth make-up and the Madonna t-shirt to quit ravening in front of the stage. Taylor is getting freaked out.

Hobo Games

n. Triennial international sporting event involving homeless folks, people between income sources, and non-professional athletes. Opening soupcans with a rock, starting a fire from scratch, outrunning authorities, constructing shelters and clothing from sticks and plastic sheeting are but some of the featured events. Corporate and government sponsorship are, of course, prohibited, and betting is mandatory. Red Deer, Canada, is the permanent site for the HG.

……………………………

Wanna head over to Red Deer for the Hobo Games? We could pick up some well-sorted gravel while we are there and maybe look for dinosaur bones in the creek, or Hobo bones, which are more plentiful.

No. I think I’ll pass. Again.
