NPPF - Canto Two Notes -- Et Cic[ada]

[Keith McMullen, PhD]

>>> to catch a cicada and lasso a long piece of thread around its
thick head, and to fly it buzzing furiously and electrically at the end of
the thread in wild, sweeping circles. <<<

A technique Tom Green took to its extreme
in that arthouse masterpiece, Freddie Got Fingered.

In Illinois we incorrectly called those cicadas in the sycamores locusts as
well.

2B or not 2B, the entropy of the English language.

"My English [...] is however a stiffish, artificial thing, which may be all
right for describing a sunset or an insect, but which cannot conceal poverty
of syntax and paucity of domestic diction when I need the shortest road
between warehouse and shop. An old Rolls-Royce is not always preferable to a
plain Jeep."

              --Vladimir Nabokov
