Hypertian to the Nth Degree

I was curious as to the origins of the word SHIT as I had heard that it was an old acronym for 'ship high in transit'. Needless to say I didn't quite discover its origin but I did locate the following ....

In the word's literal sense, it has a rather small range of common usages. In American English, an unspecified or collective occurrence of feces is generally shit or some shit, a single deposit of feces is sometimes a shit or a piece of shit, and to defecate is to shit, or counterintuitively to take a shit. While it is common to speak of shit as existing in a pile, a load, a hunk and other quantities and configurations, such expressions flourish most strongly in the figurative. For practical purposes, when actual defecation and excreta are spoken of in English, it is either through creative euphemism (pinching a loaf, laying some cable, seeing Mr. Brown off to the coast, dropping the kids off at the pool, brewing up a pot of s.h.i. tea, releasing the prisoners, lighting a bum cigar, cutting a log, dropping a deuce, making sausages, making butterfinger bb's, punching a grumper, busting a grumpy, releasing the demons, greeting the night, splitting the corn, taking a ride down the sunshine highway, seeing a man about a horse or wallaby', 'planting a brown carrot', 'giving birth to a brown babie', 'dropping a dagger', 'paying tribute to Dutch porn', "taking the Browns to the Superbowl") or with a vague and fairly rigid literalism.

Most expressly, in English, shit carries an encompassing variety of figurative meanings. Of these, perhaps the most common are generic expressions of displeasure (as in, Shit!), fear (Oh, shit!), or surprise (Holy shit!).

Shit denotes trouble, as in, I was in a lot of shit; low quality, as in, That disk drive is shit; unpleasantness, as in, Those pants look like shit, or This casserole tastes like shit; or falsehood or insincerity, as in, Don't give me that shit, or You're full of shit or surprised anger Jim is totally going to flip a shit when he sees that we wrecked his bike. The word bullshit also denotes false or insincere discourse. (Horseshit is roughly equivalent, while chickenshit means cowardly, batshit indicates a person is crazy, and going apeshit indicates a person is entering a state of unbridled rage.). Are you shitting me!? is a question sometimes given in response to an incredible assertion. An answer that reasserts the veracity of the claim is, I shit you not.

I couldn't make it through this without laughing!!!!

I think this video alone will be enough to make today's post memorable. This really is helping deal with my distaste regarding radical Islamic fundamentalists. Thank God for satire, thank God for POYKPAC!!!

Now heres a fucking survivor strategy! Should you ever decide to enact this strategy, as it is the single most effective strategy ever devised you must give me credit. Here's what to do. Set yourself up as the perfect candidate LIE YOUR ASS OFF! do everything you possibly can to get selected. Once you are chosen and begin to go through your preliminary screening you have to be the epitome of normal. You might want to devise a little story just to avoid looking to sterile, about your insatiable drive for victory that once caused you to rig a special olympics game. Either way do your best to be interesting and desireable WITHOUT BEING OVER THE TOP. Once you are selected you must follow the advise below, to the letter.
When you meet the cast and at anytime you are in front of the other competitors BEFORE BEING SENT TO THE ISLAND, you must be very very nice and kind, don't do anyhting out of the ordinary. Eventually it will be time to leave and begin your journey to the island. On the boat ride DO NOT SAY ANYTHING, just be the calm before the storm. Eventually you will arrive at your primitive destination and as the boat is slowly drifting to the shore you will be remembering reading these words:
As soon as you step foot off of the boat you must STRIP NAKED in front of the other contestants!! Thats right as soon as thhey release you onto the island strip naked in front of everybody while shouting babble. After you've stripped naked take that small bag of shit they let you bring along and burn it on the spot. If you are unable to burn it THROW IT INTO THE WATER.
Now that you've stirred some pots RUN INTO THE WOODS!! Run into the woods and hide! It is here that you must remember the following. From here out you cannot speak anything that even remotely sounds like rational speach. Scream randomly and try to sound like an aboriginee or a mongolian. As long as every time the others see you, you look deranged and are uttering unintelligible obscenities the plan will work.
The first night is VERY CRITICAL!! you need to stay in the woods until you are certain the others are sleeping. Once you are certain of their slumber run into their campsite screaming and be sure to trash their belongings! If they had spent all day building a make-do shelter make sure its in shambles before running back into the woods. It would also be a nice touch to stash a dead animal somewhere so it stinks to high hell within a few hours.
Now, they always serve up some stupid challenge suring the day where the other contestants compete for fire and water and what have you. YOU ARE NOT GOING!! While they are gone you can get a lot of work done!! While they are away competeing be sure to urinate in all of their potable water if they have accumulated any, and make sure your fat and happy from eating what ever food they gathered. If there is none perhaps a nice dirt sandwhich would be nice on there pillows awaiting their return.
Awaiting their return that night you will have to emerge from the woods again. This time you need to accomplish 2 things. One run at them screaming and be sure to throw your feces everywhere, in fact, coat yourself with it. This step will also prevent a physical altercation. Secondly, that camp fire they just ran the obstacle course for, or whatever the fuck they did, your gonna piss on it. Remember you are to remain naked and non-english speaking for this entire exercise.
Well before long it will be time for a tribal council unless the producers have already thrown you off of the show. It should be obvious that you will be voted off first. When in attentdance at the tribal council continue mumbling and making jittery and sporadic hand movements. At some point, when its your turn to vote, write everyone elses name on the card. And do it like 15 times, everything you touch should be ruined and turn to shit lol. If it is possible to attend tribal council naked, of course, do so. No here is the key!
When you get booted off start a fight with all of them. You will probably get the shit beat out of you but take it cause you day will come!! When you get back to civilization claim it was the pressure that drove you crazy!! Now you can go back to being normal, within 24 hrs YOU WILL HAVE YOUR 15 minutes and be immortalized in TV history. Just wait!! The tonight show, Conan, morning shows you will be a star!!! and you didn't even have to tough it out that long on the island!!
Really I can see very few flaws with this lol All I have to say is that I'm not very interested in reality TV but this Survivor Race Wars thing will be fucking precious. I can't wait .... why don't they get a couple of those radical fundamentalist Islam bastards in there, then well have some TV!!!!

So I'm now a Livejournal member. Funny, I don't have warm fuzzy feelings, a since of euphoria, or a more impressive endowment for that matter. However I do now have a portal through which to contact a new friend, and some old ones. I think this is a rather important acquisition in my life considering the astrological chart my mother did for me recently. Every year on my birthday she does a special type of analysis that is supposed to provide me insight into the year ahead. She advised me that this year was all about people, and relationships. The upcoming year is not necessarily about romantic relationships, but relationships in general. She advised me that I will learn to stay in touch in a more sincere fashion, learn to network even better, and more importantly I will begin laying the foundation for my sociological future. You see, this is why live journal is a positive exercise in communication and interpersonal contact. I never really wanted to set up an account because I figured that hardly anybody would read my entries. Why write on a shared network if I have nobody to share it with? Lets examine my idea about "hardly anybody reading my entries". Perhaps this site is about more than being heard. Maybe livejournal is as much about listening and understanding as it is being listened to, and understood. Either way I'm looking forward to reading and commenting on the journals of the few of you I know out there, aragorn, dahlia. Perhaps I'll be commented on soon to, c'mon someone has to break my comment cherry .........
