knugget.3

3-second book review: "Assassination Vacation," by Sarah Vowell.

First sentence:
Going to Ford's Theatre to watch the play is like going to Hooters for the food.


Review: Reading Vowell's tour of assassination sites across the U.S. makes it seem like she takes strange vacations. But so-called "normal" people pay $70 a head to see unshaved men wearing giant rodent costumes and white gloves. (63)

knugget.2

If we really have an "intelligent" designer, why are humans lacking in special features? Like cupholders and an instant playback feature so we stop asking 'What did he just say?' at movie theaters. (33)

knugget.1

mogigraphia: Writer's cramp. (via Wordsmith)

From Greek mogis (with difficulty) + graph (writing).

In sentence: My mogigraphia was crippling, until I created 'knugget.' (22)
