    Spotted Richard

    September 11, 2009 /

    It seems the Welsh have submitted fully to their nanny state and its uber-PC agenda. I present to you the faded glory of Spotted Dick with its newly government-approved nomenclature: Pudding renamed Spotted Richard Today suet pudding, tomorrow your right to breathe, I tell you. They should have tried a compromise. You know, something a with a bit more pizazz. How about Speckled Prick or Dotted Cock? What they settled on for an alternative, Sultana Sponge, is kinda more disgusting in a contraceptical kinda way, if you know what I mean… A bit of Sultana Sponge with heavy cream, anyone? And how about renaming their town while they’re at it?

    Dutch wives et al

    September 11, 2009 /

    Speaking of writing class, one of the earlier assignments was to write from the point of view of an object. Imagine my surprise when one of my students said she wanted to write from the POV of a “Dutch wife.” This term actually came up in her Thai-English electronic dictionary and upon questioning her about it, I came to understand that she was talking about a dakimakura, or body pillow. I suggested she use the word body pillow, but was intrigued by the use of “Dutch wife.” You see, in my experience with the Japanese language, it basically only means a blow-up sex doll, and I didn’t even know it…

    I’m teaching a writing class right now. Today I’m drilling the students with short, timed writing exercises. I forgot to think up fresh writing prompts before class, but that’s what the internet is for, right? This site is proving very helpful: The Imagination Prompt Generator

    Frak Yahoo Mail

    September 8, 2009 /

    As an added incentive to switch to something better if you already haven’t, consider what happened to my Yahoo Japan email account (used as a third backup) after I didn’t log in for four months: They deleted all my messages and declared the same would happen time and time again unless I logged in more often or subscribed to one of their pay services like broadband or “online security!” Then, waiting in my inbox was a mysterious email saying that all of my deleted messages could be restored – for a fee, of course. This whole affair reminds me of Hotmail of olden times, except that Yahoo Mail has nothing,…

    I don’t know why I like this vacant look so much, but I do. I think it reminds me of spacing out so much when I was a kid – when my imagination was unbound by the constraints of adult reality.
