thus far, part 3
yesterday, we experienced the multimedia portion of word idol. meaghan and peter used roasting alligator flesh and oddly-proportioned stick-figures to hammer feer home. as a final exclamation point to her απολογία* on frimicate, brainland cited elton john’s candle in the wind (but which version?!?!). and langer—the self-proclaimed adam lambert of american idol of word idol—infiltrated our corneas with a seizure-inducing animated gif that will be flashing flantum, flatherum, piebald, and dill on the pages of the ragbag for as long as there is enough electricity to power cyberspace.
do you think that the world needs a 27 letter compound word for lady gaga? has your therapist ever recommended a feer for your fears? what have you frimicated over lately: the seating chart for the company holiday party? if your ugly blue sweater goes with your ugly green cargo shorts? whether or not to get sarah palin’s autograph on the title page of going rogue or have her brazenly scrawl it on the cover?

*a note on what is quickly becoming απολογίαgate: i had warned brainland earlier in the week that i was going to swap απολογία (the greek word for apology) for the original english word that she had. praps she thought i was kidding (raynor ganan never jokes around) and so she started e-whining and cyber-grousing about it to me when she realised that i made the switcheroo. i was about to apologise (in the non-greek sense) when she was like: “PSYCHE! i was just giving you a real life example of frimication.” well played, brainland.
