The anon said she doesn't like people who talk a great deal about irrelevant or unrelated, high-sounding but with little meaning, many words where fewer would do.

Marty: Well, Doc can get a little heavy on the technical terms, but everything he says means something. So he claims, anyway. So we should be okay, right?

Doc: [coming up with a frown] I’m getting the feeling I’m being made fun of.

I’m not sure what it says about me that whenever I see a bit of writing where the author has clearly Tried Very Hard to sound intelligent and wordy by just cramming in every long-winded synonym they can find, without fail the first thing that runs through my head is “Quite frankly I’m against people who give vent to their loquacity by extraneous bombastic circumlocution.”

Old MySpace Blog Names

Back when blogging was THE THING (like 2004-2008? -ish?) I would change my blog names on MySpace ALL THE TIME. Thus, I plan to compile a list of those names, in no particular order. (The other cool thing on MySpace was the ability to change your screen name/handle. I used many of those, too. That’s a list for another day. Plus one I discovered “DivaDaviD” - a beautiful, appropriate palindrome, I never changed it again.)
