o frabjous day callooh callay! this insanity known as nablopomo is almost over!
walking home tonight, i started to wonder how one would spell crankiosity. crankioucity, crankyosity. it's been a long couple of weeks at work. the other editor (s) and i have been up to our cute little earlobes in work while the people sitting next to us have hit a slow period. yesterday, they were playing scrabble on facebook. we were feeling a bit like the kids standing outside the ice cream shop with our noses pressed solidly to the window as we watched everyone else have fun and eat ice cream.
so today, in a moment of divine clarity, we thought of new roles for ourselves -
Dear bossperson -
S and I have nominated ourselves for the newly created positions of Scrabble Player 1 and 2. Barring that, we believe we should move on to writing the web articles as we believe our experience has perfectly prepared us to write the crap other people do every day, week after week.
We are highly motivated to spell previously unspelled words, make utterly amazing, unbelievably impressive, stunningly staggering leaps of logic and redundancy and repetition as well as write incoherently and inconsistently about booming mega-hubs. This means we will easily and unwittingly boggle the mind and kill the will to live of any editor brave enough or fool enough to take us on.
We will personally ensure, assure and insure that every quote is bungled, every fact misstated and every figure thoroughly incorrect - except for those we just make up out of pure thin air.
We promise to write confusing articles that miss the point, are filled with utter nonsense and show our fine ability to be shills for any old company that smiles at us.
Respectfully and giddily yours -
S and I
