LOVE them all!
Possibly my fave:
Depict: What the Romans wanted to do to Scotland
These are great. I think I now understand how fundies read and understand their bible.
Hi there, I enjoy reading all of your post. I wanted to write
a little comment to support you.
These are all so clever! I enjoyed them!
LMAOOOO
My fav is Barbarian....
XOXO
Assange = a french monkey
Thanks everyone!
Ole: Good one -- though perhaps an insult to monkeys.
Could Barbarian also be -- A librarian who bar-tends?
As always ... good job! You're quite talented.
Thanks! That could definitely be the case. I came up with yet another one for "barbarian" here.
Furlong- Your dog needs a hair cut. LOL
Those were all funny.
These are excellent! I had to work to "get" them, though. My eye just keeps wanting to see the word as a whole instead of parts that work separately. Have you always seen words this way or have you just practiced a whole lot?
Mary: :-)
Jenny_o: I've only been coming up with this kind of re-definition for about a year and a half (see earlier posts in the series), but I've always been fascinated by words and language and tend to look at them from every possible angle. I guess it's just what my brain is attuned to.
What a fun and clever idea! Hugs...RO

Please be on-topic and read the comments policy. Spam, trolls, and fight-pickers will be deleted. If you don't have a Blogspot account and aren't sure how to comment, please see here. Fair warning -- I reject all comments containing any of the following:
1. Support for transgenderism
2. Negativity about Brexit
3. Support for a military draft or compulsory national service
I am not obligated to provide a platform for views I find morally abhorrent. And obviously I'm going to delete anything which is just quoting what an "AI" said. I want to hear from you, not from the always-wrong hallucination machine.
No comments advocating violence against any specific identifiable individual, even jokingly.
Please be considerate -- no political or politics-tinged comments on non-political posts, and no performative cynicism. Finally, please remember that this is a personal blog whose main purpose is to encourage contact from people with similar interests and world-views to mine. I really don't much care for arguing and debating; if arguing and debating is what you want, there are plenty of other places on the internet which welcome that.
From now until the finalization of the election results, no comments claiming the Republicans (or Democrats) will or can "steal" the election. It's pointless to engage with such stuff, and it promotes defeatism, which makes people less likely to vote or otherwise be politically active.
