I'm into anagrams again. I've already told several people about my brilliant English essay, so obviously I will tell more people here:
Christmas


Crams shit.

Of course, that's not original. It gets exactly about 125 results in a Google search. That is how I measure the originality of my wordplay: I do a Google search. All of my ingenious plays on words have, up to now, yielded exactly 0 results in a Google search. Until now, I have not come up with an ingenious anagram of a common word that I thought was worthy enough to input into a Google search. I don't think any meaningful anagram of a common word could be unique enough to get exactly 0 results in a Google search, so that is a consolation. However, I certainly could come up with an anagram of a phrase that would get exactly 0 results in a Google search. It wouldn't even have to be a common phrase, since an uncommon phrase can carry much more strength than an uncommon word; and, there is so much more I could do with a phrase, compared to a word. Of course, it is more work, but I have just explained why this is a good thing.

I try to put clever plays on words into my blog entries. I usually can't input them into a Google search, because their meaning depends on the context of my entry. There is no way to input Context into a Google search. I wonder how many people pick up on these clever plays on words. I wish I had an example in this entry, but no opportunity has appeared so far for a clever play on words.

This is not a play on words, but it is just as good: Second paragraph, second sentence of this entry. In a draft of this entry I explained how that sentence makes sense. The explanation was lame, so I deleted it. As a justification-in-hindsight: if someone isn't capable of understanding the Second paragraph, second sentence, they probably would have been very confused by my would-be explanation and have read it without thinking, and then they would have thought they had read my entry completely. If I was not so cynical, I think I would be disgusted by this: that people could have thought they had read my entry without understanding the things most worth understanding. Of course, if I was disgusted by this, then I would be disgusted by average human behaviour. It's easier not to care. Though, I think everyone can understand this (and look, I even made a new paragraph):

Everything I say in my blog makes sense, and probably the more confusing something seems, the more brilliant it actually is.
