Heh heh. What shall we talk about now! WE CAN TALK ABOUT ANYTHING WE WANT!!! IT'S A BULLETIN BOARD!!!
WOWZA!
Okay, except dirty stuff.
"Bulletin Board" is a weird sounding term, if you ask me. (I hear someone, thinking, ~ yes you ~ "Did I ask him? Did anybody hear me ask him?" Well KNOCK IT OFF!! That's not polite, because I can't get any stories in if I don't pretend somebody's asking me!)
Where was I. Oh yah. Bulletin Board. Funny. Funny peculiar. It sounds like something for sewing. You know, a combination of some kind of.....sewing.....board, and notions.
"Notions" is a GREAT sewing word. You can get them at the 5, 10, and 15, next to Mode O Day.
Notions. WOW!
It's exotic.
Carefree, but exotic. Still retaining the exotic part. There are ladies over there with a tape measure around their necks. "Where are the Notions?"
And, if you were to do poetry, notions rhymes with a lot, with a Breeze 'N Ease Factor Level of "A." Lotion, motion, ocean, quotation marks.
But "Bulletin Board" is a sad comparison. It's very isolated. Almost unfriendly. Sad to think about it.
Now Thread, see Thread, is a good word. We almost use it universally now, instead of Bulletin Board. But see ~ it's a SEWING WORD.
It's a great Sewing Word.
Coates and Clark. Lewis and Clark. Cutty Sark.
Pinking shears.
Need I say more?
Pinking shears.
Where are you going to get a word like that?
"On the bias." The Bias? What is that? A "bias cut" ~ sounds dangerous. Will need STITCHES.
"Dart. Put in a dart."
Needle.
Zipper.
Zipper!
Un-zip er!
I like "hem," too. "He hemmed......" A hem.
"Let the cat and the hem out."
Skein. Wow.
What do they call that zig-zag stuff? They used to use in the Fifties a lot? You bought it curled around a little piece of white cardboard, usually in baby blue....maybe it's ZIG-ZAGGING!
And don't even get me STARTED on FABRICS!!!
Gingham, chintz, wool, flannel, silk, brocade.....
But that "Bulletin Board." Something fishy about that. Or unpleasant. Like where you look to find out, standing in your flippers, that camp has been canceled.
Crap, they put grades on there. What good news is ever on a Bulletin Board? Ever walk up to one and see "You are cute."? Assignments. Well who wants a stinky assignment? Dead people. All the campsites you're not getting, because you smoked a spliff last night and overslept.
"Check the Bulletin Board." Oh ~ I don't think I want to.
What is, a bulletin? A bullet in?
No wonder it doesn't sound good.
This bullet in, over and out. |
