I like sharing meals... but I could really do without the company most of the time!

Lorne Roberts said...

ha ha! but the company is usually what makes it fun, no?

"strive mightily, but eat and drink as friends"-- shakespeare, the taming of the shrew


now, i would argue that MEAT is also sociopolitical.

Lorne Roberts said...

p.s. is sociovital even a word? if so, it shouldn't be...

nice vids. the so-called flight of the chicken was the best day ever, possibly.

i'm going to try to find that old article i wrote in milo mag and post it here. i think it ran with some of these photos.

Actually, I'm starting to realize how little I like hanging around most other people for any length of time... the internet was made for people like me!

Sociovital is not a word, I might have made it up, possibly, as I'm likely not the first to use it or to think about it.

And why can't it be a word?

:)

i like this post.
it could easily translate into an installation...or maybe it is already an installation ...i don't know.

as for made up words, I'm all for it...if we wait around to ask permission to think and speak creatively, where will we be?

It's time for heterodoxy!

Not one single word in the English language, or any other language, ever came to exist by an act of permission. Every word is a "made up" word.

Word.

Interesting... I just read this earlier today:

The interjection word on its own dates back at least to 1981, appearing in the lyrics to Jimmy Spicer's "Money (Dollar Bill Y'All)" ("Word… that's a good record, man").

cara said...

that's great news.
every word is "made up", but then why do people persist in asking "is that a word?"

there must be something that gives a word power or some way of accepting it as "officially" part of a language?

How does that work?

D. Sky Onosson said...

I think it happens because we are all taught to obey higher authorities... someone must know better than us about this huge thing called "English" that we learn in school, right? Except we learned it BEFORE we went to school...

Also, check out this post on Language Log and some of the commentary at the bottom.

C-dog your words suck in comparison to that tantalizing picture of roasted mushrooms and carrots. Did you make that delicious plate? Have you at long last finally become a domesticated man? Were you obliged to cook this for your life's mate?

The video is really cool.

How dare you post such inferior words next to such visual succulentness!

sociovittles.

I know a singer from Saskatchewan - whenever he raises his drink on stage to the audience, he calls out "Sociables!"

I think that's an east coast thing.

Well, he's born and raised in Sask. Don't know if it's just him, or more widespread...
