three examples of Art that I analoged in my story
Let's see. There's the skiffy magazine, Analog, there's the noun and adjective analog (for the UKers, analogue), the adjective analogous, the noun analogy, and the verb analogize. Hmm, and what about analog computers? (They must fit in there somewhere.) No, but not that I should get all anally grammatiholic (i.e., prescriptivist) about it—calmly, calmly, Ron Obvious—for, I like it. I will try to work it into one of my etymological monologues today, or, perhaps, I'll monologue it. Or better yet, I should heed Père Ludwig and repeat after him: „Wovon man nicht sprechen kann, darüber muß man schweigen.‟ After all, I am going to Oktoberfest in Babylon by the Bay today, and one oughtn't to drink beer while monologizing.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.
