The
Washington Post’s Loss is your gain:
The Washington Post has a number of reader contests every
year. One in particular has caught my interest and for the past 5 years I have
been trying to pass myself off as a reader, so I can enter. But for the past 5
years they have denied me an entry claiming I’m not a subscriber nor was I
smart enough to read the Post…. Well I reckon both are true.
The competition in question is a word distortion thing. The
rules (besides being a reader) are you take one or more words and distort them
to come up with something completely different… the wackier the better.
For instance if I came up with the word… Coppermouthrattlemoccosin… that would be any snake my wife happened to see in
our yard.
Or if I were to come up with a Trojanpony… that would be
just a little trick… Well you get the idea.
The word I was going to send this year before they started
blocking my emails is Peacharrhea …. That’s an uncomfortable but non-life
threatening condition that seems to show up every year, when fresh fruit is
readily available.
Life
is much too important to be taken seriously
