tri·al

Try el.

It’s the same as ‘the’ in Spanish.

El actor está en juicio.

Translates to – The actor is on trial.

I first thought it meant an ill actor went on a juice cleanse – but it’s more about him/her and legal proceedings. Not at all how it sounds – can’t go based on hearings.

Try el for the. Try it.

Thoughts, Tuesday, May 30th, 2023


Thirsty?

Chew on this…

A camel drinks 52 gallons of water in 3 minutes, becomes bloated on its back for 3 months, swears off drinking again, eventually releases a ton of poop, and then downs 52 more gallons of water in 3 minutes, give or take with distractions and the cycle continues.

That’s just Part 1.

Part 2…

Lurking in the desert, waiting for dessert, chewing a stick of gum – is the dung beetle.

The clouds break, the dung drops, and the dung beetle rejoices. It rolls the dung into a ball three times its size and rides it home to its village, where all await with bibs, forks, and cheers of dehydrated joy.

You see, this dungball is the ONLY source of water the dung beetles have. It’s their Poland Spring. They’ll never get water from any other source. Ever.

So, if you’re drinking water right now – be thankful it didn’t come from dung.

Or maybe it did. What do we know?

    1. Hi, John, and thanks!! Yeah, I notice things like that with words a lot – and I love how they can sound like something totally different if you say them slowly or quickly – but my favorite is making up words – but they were all made up at one point so I think it’s rational. I’d love to hear any examples of wordplay you see or create. Hope you’re having a great weekend. All the best to you! -Kim
