Ok, so I see things differently now that I’m living in Asia. For example, there’s a poster in the office advertising an upcoming family day for employees. The very colorful headline reads:
Funtasia
Only, my brain does not see “Fun .. Asia” it reads “Funt|Asia” … and methinks, what is a “Funt” anyway and why is that a good pun? Well, dictionary.com tells me that “funt” is Polish for “pound” (as in “that weighs 2 lbs” not the verb). … So, it’s an unintentional bad pun I’m sure. Still, it’s what I see now. Sorry Mickey (ref to “Fantasia” which I think they were trying to play off except with “fun” instead of “fan” … just didn’t work for me.)
In other “word” play … a colleague passed me this Web site today. It’s a good way to waste time, I mean exercise your brain: www.freerice.com. The point? Correctly define the word displayed on the screen and 10 grains of rice are donated via the sponsors to the UN’s World Food Programme. Oh, and they score your vocab prowess — just what all of us Type A’s need, a score. So .. enter with caution. And if you must know, Conrad scored higher than I did … but we all know he’s in study-mode right now, so once we get him back to TV his brain should shrink down to a governmentally accepted size.
