Re-enchant the mundane

[Keith&Co.]

Saw this:


What others?


It's not a meeting, "the peasants demand an audience."

It's not a vaccine, "I am warded against the Scourge."

It's not my timesheet, in 6-minute increments, "the scribes attend my every move, to the nearest candlemark."

 

[Jimmy Higgins]

Not vacuuming the rug, I’m purifying my home of naughty pixies.

I’m not getting a vaccine, I’m leveling up my immunity.

I’m not rewinding the VHS tape, I’m resetting the message from the Oracle.

 

[Keith&Co.]

The toilet isn't backed up, i must clear the garderobe.

The basement isn't flooded, the moat is just overfull.

Google it? No, i must post an inquiry to the sages.

It's not bloodwork for a pending doctor's appointment. The chirugeon has new leeches in, i come due for a bloodletting.

Part of a Facebook conversation I had yesterday with an old friend in the UK:



It's much more entertaining than just saying 'I can't travel internationally just now because of Covid regulations'.

 

[Keith&Co.]

"Let us forge an alliance that we may freely trade the bounty the gods have bestowed upon our two realms!"
'What?"
"Dad says if you pass him the biscuits, he'll pass you the butter."





".....WHAT!?!"

 

[Jimmy Higgins]

Husband: I am off to in my quest to give rebirth to that which has exhausted its given life. I do it not for the token of gratitude in which I receive, but to help push the wheel of life forward.

Wife: Will you stop trying to make recycling the soda bottles sound important.

 

[Keith&Co.]

Literal conversation last night in the &co. house.

"Those are cute. What else?"

"Well, i have that colonoscopy coming up, but i'm afraid of what i might come up with. Either the imagery OR i might repeat it at Endoscopy and offend."

"No, no, you're going to have entrails read to see the future. Just no goose involved."

"Having my entrails read with great precision by a team of seers. I like that."

"You're welcome."

In our realm, they are called pop flagons.

 

[Keith&Co.]

Next time i'm in Teams/Skype/etc., instead of typing 'BRB' before taking a head call, i might try, "Signs and portents signify this is an opportune time check the moat for invaders."

 

[Keith&Co.]

I'm not staring out the window, i have my guardian angel under surveillance.

Of course, i am not swearing, i am casting invocational magic on this damnable software.

Not doing the dishes. I am reading everyone's tea leaves....and correcting the typos.

 

[Gospel]

This isn’t a traffic stop, it’s me casting Prismatic Wall & Feeblemind while holding Storm of Vengeance at the ready for the state of Florida because I Wish a mutha fuck would.

I’m not reenacting the mundane, I’m infused with the muse of Obfuscatious.

 

[Keith&Co.]

Huh?

 

[Jimmy Higgins]

I can barely spell using a computer, on an iPhone it is even harder. *sigh*

I’m not re-enchanting the mundane, I’m infusing language with the muse of Obfuscatious.

Oh! No, i didn't even notice the spelling. I was actually trying to compliment your obfuscation by 'Huh?'

Wha?

back in the day I worked as a co-op student at a gas turbine manufacturer. The book "Doublespeak" cam out so we had fun with mundane things.

The only one I can recall offhand was "I am leaving early" ==> I am exploring alternate propulsion opportunities outside the traditional framework.

Sounds like a second class petty officer trying to write his own evals.
"Took command of available personnel to accomplish time critical evolutions that were crucial to the ship's operation." (Liberty wouldn't go down until the trash was taken off ship, he grabbed three seamen and made a chain to pass it up the ladder.)

"Seeks to learn from experienced shipmates in all assigned tasks." (can't do SHIT until Chief tells him how)

Why would anyone here today think of Olde English as being “enchanting”?
Because people who spake it believed in enchantments and such nonsense?
Then call it what it is - stupidifying.

 

[Keith&Co.]

Because many fantasy movie writers think all wizards and demons speak in Shakespeare.
