Paraproskokians

Paraproskokians are figures of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected; frequently humorous.

I ran across a list of these the other day and thought I would share them.

Why does someone believe you when you say there are 4 billion stars but check when you say the paint is wet?

Why do Americans choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America?

Evening news is where they begin with 'Good Evening' and then proceed to tell you why it isn't.

Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

You don't need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.

Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

Proposed Falls Landing Park in Jeffersonville

Please be aware that within a 1/4 mile of the proposed location of the new park there are 3 registered sex offenders.

Please be aware that within a 1/2 mile of the proposed location of the new park there are 15 registered sex offenders.

Please be aware that within 1 mile of the proposed location of the new park there are 42 registered sex offenders.

I realize that it would be difficult to find a location suitable for the purpose of Falls Landing where there would be zero registered offenders within a mile radius. Please be mindful and diligent in protecting yourselves and your children.

For those who follow both of my blogs, sorry bout the duplicate post!

Question/Brainteaser

It has been said that anger is a self-chosen poison.
Would you agree?
If yes, please explain, if no please explain.

What is her (anger) match/antidote?
Could it be peace or compassion? Do these two virtues go hand in hand?
Or, is the antidote something different?
How do you cultivate the antidote for anger?
(BTW, for this particular question/brainteaser "Letting it go" is not an acceptable answer)

Square Pegs Fab Gift is Done

There are a few pictures on Goliath's forum depicting Square Pegs gift.

Feedback is encouraged, and welcome, as I took artistic license with this one.

If you like it, great! Please tell me why. If you don't like it, thats ok too, just say so, and why.

I will drop this off at Goliath's place unless Sellersburg or Borden is more convenient for you to pick it up. Of course, if you do not want it, then please send me a message/comment and let me know.

Stumbled across a new blog this morning

While doing a little "research" this morning I found a blog that I liked.

Please check it out and see what you think...

www.squarepegpeople.typepad.com


I especially like the part of her blog where she shares short stories from others.

It's really good.

On a roll, with a square peg(heh, heh) .... gift #3 work in progress!!

Square Peg was a participant on the AWESOME BLOG. Her fabulous gift was a bit tricky to create, due to her name change in recent history, to Ruth Ann. There are characteristics for both names that I could have had fun shopping for. On the surface, it would appear that I elected to stick with her original name, Square Peg. However....if one looks very closely,elements of Ruth Ann will become evident.


Square Peg/Ruth Ann will be receiving a priceless piece of art work, specially created just for her, by me. I will not be posting a picture, yet, as it is a work in progress. Materials for the art piece did not exceed my $5.00 limit.

Next prize selected and purchased for Cindiloohoo

"Wipe your feet before you come in and keep them off my coffee table". Portion of intro on Cindiloohoo's blog.

Now this sounds like a lady who takes great pride in the cleanliness of her home.

Protective shoe covers will surely assist her, in keeping the dirt, etc... out of her home. Not everyone wipes their feet as well as they should before entering the homes of others.

These one size fits all shoe covers will contain soot, soil and filth,(see description on ad posted on Goliath's Forum) helping to reassure Cindiloohoo that her home will not be invaded by the nastiness that others may track in on the bottoms of their shoes.




Note to Cindiloohoo,
12 pairs (remember my $5.00 limit) of these high quality shoe covers are yours, simply for participating and submitting correct answers on the AWESOME BLOG.
