I ADDED A NEW CATEGORY to this blog: “There May Not Be Any Room for Irony on Facebook but There’s Certainly a Place for It on My Blogs.” But it didn’t last long, as there are just too many damn words for a category! So I shortened it to “Irony on the Internet?” The question mark indicates that irony on the internet may not exist, or may be a whole lot of trouble.
All entries so categorized are meant to tickle your ratiocinator bone. The category will be a hodgepodge that will include:
• odds & ends
• thises & thats
• flotsam & jetsam (and even a wee bit o’ lagan)
If you need an explanation for any or all of this, please ask an irony-free question in the Comments section below and I promise an irony-free response.
FEATURED IMAGE: Astrophotography meets nature photography with this amazing juxtaposition ing of a shot of the flotsam and jetsam of a nebula cloud in deep space used as backdrop for a photo of a mountain lake here on Earth. (Note the front of the canoe at the bottom of the photo.)
Mystically liberal Virgo enjoys long walks alone in the city at night in the rain with an umbrella and a flask of 10-year-old Laphroaig who strives to live by the maxim, “It ain’t what you know that gets you into trouble; it’s what you know that just ain’t so.
I’ve been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn, and a college dropout (twice!). Occupationally, I have been a bartender, jewelry engraver, bouncer, landscape artist, and FEMA crew chief following the Great Flood of ’72 (and that was a job that I should never, ever have left).
I am also the final author of the original O’Sullivan Woodside price guides for record collectors and the original author of the Goldmine price guides for record collectors. As such, I was often referred to as the Price Guide Guru, and—as everyone should know—it behooves one to heed the words of a guru. (Unless, of course, you’re the Beatles.)
