BORED OF LIFE?

Facing it

I was in the arty bookshop yesterday the one near old street down a bit left , it usually only  opens on a Tuesday week between the hours of 11.00-11.30 am, how ever I was lucky enough on this one occasion to find it open. I picked up this hilarious Jem. a little booklet of illustrations of people in 1998 and then ten years later…. It hilarious I checked out the blog and there is some really nice stuff… I have also in the spirit of the piece created my own ten year illustration from 2002 -2012 how things have changed!

I urge you to do one!

Am I a serial killer?

 Recently I have been watching YouTube discovery channel documentaries on serial killers. It became addicted viewing, I watched every thing I could, and now consider myself an expert on the genre. It’s a bit like going on a scary ride, or watching loads of great white shark footage on you-tube, or going to Doncaster. The mind likes to be scared but, safely scared, scared when there is no actual danger, like wearing green on a Wednesday.

The most interesting part of the documentary for me is the personality breakdown and all the common denominators that the serial killer personality shares. It’s a bit like reading a medical dictionary when you’re sick, you convince yourself that you have all the symptoms under the sun and that you will soon be dead from a number of diseases that you must have contracted on your last visit to Doncaster. It was a bit like that watching the breakdown of a serial killers personality, I was checking things off and it turns out my personality  was a complete match.
Moody and grumpy all the time- check , a real dislike of other people-  check, Murderous thoughts of killing strangers and or people you already know, check, check!  A hatred of animals check, a hatred of the colour green on Wednesdays check check! I am now convinced that I am a serial killer (only in theory) not in practice as I am a vegetarian member of the National Trust, so of course someone of my position isn’t going to start bludgeoning people willy nilly.  However It was just great to find out that if I ever did need a new career path, my options are open, and that I have all the makings of a serial killer, My mum always said she knew I’d end up famous, this could be my big chance!

AN ASIDE: I have actually killed three people already however it was a complete accident! it was an argument over slacks in Debenhams’s Christmas 96, I was cleared of all charges.

 

Franny-Eponyms

love a good eponym! For those unfamiliar with the term, an eponym is a word derived from the name of a person such as sandwich. Most people know this was coined after the Earl of Sandwich. When I looked into the subject, I discovered a number of words that I had not recognised as eponyms.

The first is syphiliss. As a loose woman of the village, this is often at the front of my mind! The word was first used in 1483 in a love poem written by  Girolamo Fracastoro, he controversially described the disease as being “French”  This is absolute tosh! As I have contracted the disease from so many different people from all over the world! The visitors that pass through Savage weed are completely international!

The word that most surprised me was dunce, which dates all the way back to the 1570s.

 And is based on John Duns Scotus, 13th-century Scottish scholar of philosophy and theology.

John Duns was total nobhead if you had a stupid, idea or appeared outwardly thick (like John Dunns) everyone would call you a johndunny which later turned into  the insult Dunce. John was also famous for wearing a pointed hat with the letter “D” on it.

 

The person most often associated with the phrase ‘nosy parker’ is Matthew Parker, who was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1559 to 1575.

He was famous for the phrase “hiya” but also for his love of cream cakes and gossip. Mathew parker was known for exposing the secrets people had told him in confession and eventually was killed and stuffed for his Nosey Parker ways.
