Entry for June 06, 2007 In The Beginning Was The Word !!

Fluff and I lead a rather intense life here in our wee woodsy haven......not intensely euphorous nor sad , neither intensely glamourous nor plain , neither intensely hilarious nor dull , neither intensely philosophical nor intellectual.......... yet intensely loving and caring for both each other and likewise for our fellow travellers with whom we share this marvellous planet .

Now as Fluff is in the process of polishing up her masterful achievement of becoming " oh so able and competent " in the English language and I after so many years away from it ...... are living our daily lives literally "glued" to each other .... and especially here in our wee computer room ........words have become the tools or stimuli to comical relief between us as well as stepping off stones to other more serious subjects such as literature , history , politics , geography , religion , semantics .. etc One little word can start a chain reaction!! And with the TV blasting away at us all the time ..... whether we are watching or not.....our minds risk being aroused .... contaminated....by almost anything heard from the likes of CNN or BBC all the way " up " to The Sopranos or Trailer Park Boys.

Some of my old " Li'l Moron " jokes have also proven to be somewhat worthwhile in demonstating word meanings and pun activity in English . For example , the one about the two l'il morons in jail and one of them had smuggled in a flashlight and a file. The barred window was way up beyond their reach so the smarter one says to the dumber one , " After lights out I'll flash a beam on that window up there and you shinny up the beam and saw the bars!"....... to which the less brighter one replies , " No way ! You're not going to sucker me in ! I'll get half way up the beam and you''ll turn out the light !" With these two meanings of "beam" we might chat up a wee storm for a while ... not mentioning its corresponding verb " to beam " in such instances as " Cindy Anne's , Celeste's and Barb's faces beamed with pride as each one laid eyes upon her respective tomato patch , varnished beams in the cabins and newborn grand-daughter. It may sound corny but quite often we can spend a good hour engrossed in such utter misery......... but loving every minute of it !!!

In closing I'll simply mention an ad on TV for Scotia Bank... a Canadian financial institution... now expanding into the States . Fluff and I both love it !! The ad shows two little brothers wandering through their home in the dark , the younger one following the older one .... lights out and flashlights beaming ......the "littlest" brother asks the older one , " Whatya doin' ? " to which the older boy answers , " Lookin' for equity.." " Equity.. ?", querries the wee one. " What's that?" . " I dunno " , replies the older boy ... " but Dad says it's leverage and that there is over $ 100 , 000 worth in this house and I'm gonna find it !!"
