I've been working on a blog where I take common everyday phrases and then clobber them over the head with a thesaurus resulting in very awkward ways of saying things. For example, AT&T's tagline "Reach out and touch someone" becomes "Prolongate and osculate a third party." So for a couple of weeks I've been looking for a forum to join where a.) the people might enjoy such a blog, and b.) I can rub elbows with true word-smithing geniuses which will hopefully spawn some ideas for new material. I look forward to getting to know you all. I like to say things a little differently The Saga Retold in Limericks Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Allow myself to introduce...myself? obihave #198540 03/28/2011 8:47 PM Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 956 Auckland, New Zealand olly old hand olly old hand Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 956 Auckland, New Zealand "Prolongate and osculate a third party."
