You're welcome. I'm glad you and your family had a nice Easter.
On my left, for instance, Walter was trying to tell Bradley a perfectly ordinary little anecdote -- but since they each suffer from unusual neurological disorders, even the mundane became a bit surreal.
“I was down walking Whitehead Street when there was suddenly big this boom, and I’m on my lying back,” Walter was saying. Thanks to severe head trauma a year or two ago, his whack order is out of word: he can say eloquently things, but not right in the way. After you’ve been listening to him for about five minutes, you get used to it.
Bradley’s peculiarity, on the other hand, is congenital, some sort of subtle anomaly in Broca’s area. I’ve always though of it as Typesetter’s Twitch: Brad tends to vocally anagrammatize, scrambling letters within a word rather than scrambling the order of the words themselves like Walter.
Sometimes that can be even more challenging to follow. Right now, for instance, he responded to Walter’s startling news with, “No this!”
Walter nodded. “I to swear God.”
“What went grown?”
“What went wrong some was criminal trying to district the scare attorney who sent jail to him,” Walter explained.
“A DA? Which neo?” Brad is a court recorder.
“The new one, Tarara Buhm. He trapped her booby car with a bomb smoke.”
...
“Wow,” said Bradley. “I bet she was sacred.”
“Her scared? I pissed about my just pants!”
How did it?”
“Some named fool Seven and a Quarter.”
“Seven and a Quarter?” Bradley said. “Pretty wired name.”
“His apparently mother picked it out of a hat. But if you think that’s name a screwy ----”
You've been otherwhere all day, or are you just stepping in?
Regrettably, I'm just on my way out for an hour or so.
Cheers!
Very nicely done. The other side of my coin would be absolutely over the moon for this stuff; if he's not read it all already.
Oh, my -- look at the time. Hello, I must be going...
Perhaps back later. Tomorrow, certainly.
Just stopping by, and I'll be leaving soon as well.
LOL - missed that one, so I guess I need to look in my library!
Anyone awake yet? Almost 5 hours and no posts?
Yeah... seems a good day for having 20-30 tabs open in my Browser.
No class till 2:25 (CDT)...
Yeah... mine is tonight at 8PM CST.
After World History (2:25-3:40), I have a break until 6--Chemistry. That lasts for about an hour and a half.
Then I have to stick around until 9ish as I have a conference call with Mark Green (R. candidate for WI governor).
Really busy day--so this is prime Freeping time ;)
Where did everybody go?
Workus Interruptus...
Well said!! :D
