Good words elsewhere: "Synchronized Diving"
Tuesday, 31 August 2004 11:28 AM
Olympic-themed writing on the indescribable (parenthetical note): "Synchronized Diving" by Karen Ashburner:
There are books around my desk written by people with impressive sounding names and the insides of these books are filled with substantial words like Cataclysmic and Calamitous, words that sound like they could get up off the couch and kick my ass should I come in and interrupt their cartoon watching time after work. I think the words in these books could actually drink me under the table if given the chance, and maybe kick my ass in pool too. But these words are still boring because the cartoons they watch are perverse and shocking in that over-the-top, grossly violent and overtly sexual kind of way.
