Following?
Riddles, Puzzles, and Grammar
The next clue is Politics.
Choose one word out of the following; use this word in every sentence you say in at least one conversation today (or tomorrow), then gauge whether you believe that words may make people suspicious.
Perhaps the specifics of words aren't always the general meanings you wish to obfuscate, but your heart has not been as lucky as usual, and your refuge has not been a deception - as much as, say, a paradise.
Here are your choices:
meandering
contraband
asshole
lobotomy
self-sufficient
opium
elastic
tumbleweed
nonchalant
essence
composure
Remember, no one but you can prevent events.
My advice is to advise everyone to take the scientific approach to all problems, then speak of all solutions as "theories."
Here are some random guidelines:
- be sure to speak using bullet points
- always pronounce silent letters - why waste them?
- don't ever change the subject - transitional conversation is vital to human communication
- make up words when you can't think of one you want to say
- if someone uses the word "smile," interrupt them and demand that they use the word "grin" - tell them how offensive the" s-word" is and then stare at their bellybutton area
- look at your watch every time someone makes eye-contact with you
- don't be fooled by yourself
- don't fool around by yourself
- don't let them tell you anything - be sure to tell them you don't believe anything you hear
- smile and stare at someone's forehead when they are speaking to you
- encourage people to be responsible for their words and behaviour
- challenge people to sentence diagramming when you feel intimidated
- clap your hands when you speak
- clap your hands when ever someone blinks
- wash, rinse, repeat
- only sigh when it isn't funny
- sigh between bites of food when you are eating breakfast
- sigh before you say anything (although this will lead to your own personal hell)
- pronounce "sigh" as it was intended to be said: sss-eye-gah-hah
- wash your hair one strand at a time
- don't major in English unless you can sacrifice your soul to your mind
