Meanderings 69

A nod to all the posers.....you know who you are......


J ust a few things the crossed my mind while I was running this evening....

1. Stupid America: "Tebowing" is nothing new. Stop acting like it is some type of "fad" or some new way that Christians are "offending" you or something. Dont get me wrong: I love Tebow. Nothing to dislike about the guy. But isnt Tebowing known as "genuflecting?" Why does he get his own term? I want my own terms. "Goldsmithing," from now on, will mean "consuming egg rolls ad nauseum"

2. When you and your friends get together to talk about ideas, you probably call it a "get-together" or a "party." When adults with PhDs or M.Eds or MBAs get together to talk about the same thing, but bring photocopies, it is suddenly called a "symposium."

3. If you are person with passions, and these passions dont offend anyone, you are simply called "passionate." If your passions become offensive, you are suddenly called a "fundamentalist."

4. If "Kindles" and "Nooks" and e-readers are so much better than real books, then why do the "instructions' exist on "paper?" Score one for the old-schoolers.....

5. The only time you see the word "bout" being used in our language is with" depression" or "boxing. " Think about that.
