does anyone remember Gary Larson, the Far Side?
I sure you all do.
I simply haven't seen any on that in years. This living out in the boonies
I remembered he had a series on strange words he would make up, define, and illustrate.
One that just sprang to mind is luposlipophobia :
"the innate fear of running around a kitchen table, being persued by wolves, while wearing fresh socks on a newly waxed floor".
And the requisite fat kid, with thick glasses, mouth breather, running around and around with the hungry wolf at his tail.
So, what is important about this? Possibly nothing, but for me it was the capacity of the mind to recall meaningless images, and stick them in front of you years later at random intervals.
Point made.
