Redefining misanthropy for a fresh generation. Standard posts begin with a definition from Ambrose Bierce's The Devil's Dictionary followed by a modern adjustment. Miscellany on Wednesday and storytelling on Saturday.
LOL Doug, funny definition. King Solomon and the almost equally split baby comes to my mind, that'd have been an unfair thing to do indeed. Equal in real means somehting always havs to be more. :-P
Equal-remembering my days at ca.hhs,all cubicles had to be "equal",hence "the director" was called to resolve an issue of one employee being "shorted" a silly millimeter. it was great to see the 80,000 per year man,with a tape measure making sure we were all "equal"...now i remember why i retired..............PEACE
Did your Mom ever do that thing where she lets you cut the piece of cake into two "equal" pieces; one for you and one for your brother... but then lets HIM chose which piece he wants? Equal.
Our Eagles weren't equal to the task at hand. Iggles are not equals.
ReplyDeleteReduced to the lowest common denominator.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words about Mall Diva.
Yes I know I have been reveling, but we met four years this month or next as some people felt I wasn't their equal. And they were right :) I'm better
ReplyDeleteEqual: fake sugar that when ingested by the gallon can cause cancer or or maybe that was Sweet N Low?
ReplyDeleteHmmm... I'm a Splenda gal myself.
Happy MLK Day!!!

EQUAL, adj. When a man is judged, not by the color of his skin, but by the color of his credit rating icon.

ReplyDeleteequal? Then why does the cat get to eat more often than I do? -Icy
ReplyDeleteAdding up the things I'm equal to,
ReplyDeleteLike a stretch of exercise tape
Ready to unwind, I,
And that would'st equal me, fear
Only the snap back of the door in
My face and the ultimate disgrace
Of not being equal to the task.

ReplyDeleteIt's all I can come up.
Hey! You spelled it wrong.
ReplyDeleteeQuill!
It's all about ME! Aw, Doug, you shouldn't have!
Equal: A very appropriate word for MLK Day. Houston had two parades today for MLK Day. We like parades.
ReplyDelete..
Yeah, that was a disappointment, TLP. But your Steelers are still peers.
ReplyDeleteOf course, Weirsdo.
Pia, you're right the revel, the ascent is the best part of the rollercoaster.
JD, I hope you had a splenda holiday.
A perfect society, Amoeba. Dream on, crazy utopian!
Justice has its losers, doesn't it, Ariel? I understand. Oh, I do.
Bear, justice cannot be found in the barrel of a gun nor equality in a measuring stick.
No, Terry, My mother is not cruel.
Close, Quilly.
Very nice definition, penguin.
Because she's young, Icy, and because she doesn't eat everything at once.
rhbee, you're channeling ee? Welcome here.
Jenn, it's as good as anything else.
Now you got it, Quilly!
Were the two parades separate but equal, Jim?
