randomnesses and sundries

• Grah! I put a link in a reply to snowgrouse in the discussion of The Interests Meme, but I also put in a typo, so the second half of my reply came up blank. Since I can't edit replies with the same ease as primary entries, here's the link. QuakerPagan.org. ... No, there aren't many of us -- just three people in the guest book, but we're here! Oh, and that John Woolman quote at the top of the home page is from 1762, and was part of his argument against the owning of African slaves.



• The word "sporfle" popped into my head yesterday, and I used it twice -- once, in yesterday's entry, and once in reply to this entry in rustyverse's journal. At the time, I thought it was already a slang term. But I may have made it up.



• I want to make an icon with the caption "iz ded of cute," but I'm not sure what the caption picture should be

BTW, did the first jiffy bag of Who goodness get to you? I have a second almost ready to go but wanted to make sure the first got there...

[capriuni.livejournal.com]

Yes. It got here. I keep meaning to tell you so, but then, I keep forgetting...

Haven't had a chance to watch any of it yet, though... am looking forward to it...

Yay! Will get second jiffy bag sent this week. :)

You could have made up 'sporfle'. It's one of those onomatopoeic words.

I use it all the time and imagine it to be the sound made when someone is made to laugh just as they're taking a drink, and spits/exhales into the cup. It could also just be a general gigglesnort without beverage involvement.

It could also just be a general gigglesnort without beverage involvement.

That's the sense I was using. I tend to keep beverages away from my computer, as a rule.

I'd also add a raspberry/blowing lip action to the gigglesnort, to make it a sporfle (like when someone trying to immitate that sound a horse makes).

And, in my mind, there's always an eyeroll involved with sporfling -- its a more ... ironic outburst than the giggle you'd get watching a Charlie Chaplin or Buster Keaton movie. I think...
