Eternal Questions

15 Apr 02 - 11:56 PM (#690970)
Subject: Eternal Questions
From: Stephen L. Rich

As folksinger, songwriters and general practioners or observers of folk arts and folk ways it is frequently our job to ponder and, at times, attempt to answer the Eternal Questions.

What is the meaning of life?

Is there a purpose to pain, suffering and death?

Did Jimmy Buffet ever pay the mini-mart back?

Where's the cream filling?

If, indeed, it is better to light a candle why is cursing the dakness so much fun?

How much wood COULD a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

And, most importantly...

Why are folksingers such MERCILESS punsters?

Mudlark, what you do is suck a little as you bite, and turn it around with each bite to keep the goop generally in the middle.

As you can see, we gospel folksingers know it ALL. We never answer eternal questions, though; we just promise to pray for those asking them. *G*

Life doesn't come with a meaning; you have to add your own user-defined variables to make all the Interrupt Requests make sense.

The purpose of death is to get back to life.

Lighting a candle is more fun.

Folksingers are punsters because they are Time Travelers and understand the endless river of considerations that lie behind the use of words better than most. So they goof around with it. Sixth graders do the same thing with bathroom jokes, because they've just gotten confident enough about toilet trianing not to worry about it.

There was once a man named Wittgenstein who did the most excruciating study of English grammar ever. And determined that ALL the great questions of philosophy were grammatical errors. The correct answer is indeed 42.

Funny you should mention eternal questions, Stephen; I just received an e-mail list of "Imponderables" from a friend yesterday:


1. If you take an Oriental person and spin him around several times, does he become disoriented?

2. Why do we say something is out of whack? What's a whack?

3. Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery?

4. If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?

5. If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?

6. When someone asks you, "A penny for your thoughts" and you put your two cents in... what happens to the other penny?

7. Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?

8. Why do croutons come in airtight packages? Aren't they just stale bread to begin with?

9. When cheese gets its picture taken, what does it say?

10. Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist but a person who drives a race car is not called a racist?

11. Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposites?

12. Why isn't the number 11 pronounced onety one?

13. If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, why aren't electricians delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed?

14. Do Lipton Tea employees take coffee breaks?

15. What hair color do they put on the driver's licenses of bald men?

16. Since American mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks, what do Chinese mothers use? Toothpicks?

17. How come no one ever says, "It's only a game" when their team is winning?

18. What would the speed of lightning be if it didn't zigzag?

19. If you played a blank tape at full blast, would it bother the mime next door?

20. Think about Preparation H. Whatever happened to Preparations A through G?

If you take a map and crumple it up, it still has all the streetnames on it but they appear out of alignment with reality to someone loking for a flat two dimensional map.

Most of your imponderables are just semantic map-crumples.

Are you living to keep from dying, or do you live because you want to be alive?

Not necessarily imponderable, but a valid question, if one really thinks about it. Most people focus on not wanting to die, instead of on living.

Sharon, those would have been more fun without the references to "Orientals" and "toothpicks.":-(

Greg: The toothpicks, as I understand the joke, are supposed to be miniature chopsticks for feeding the babies of people who traditionally eat with chopsticks. I thought it was cute (miniature flatware, miniature chopsticks) but kat sees it as an ethnic slur.

Likewise the disoriented Oriental pun. I wasn't aware that "Oriental" is not PC, and again had no intention of making an ethnic slur.

Now if you all will pardon me, I'll go re-read the "Santiana" thead with McGrath's link to the version of the shanty with the lyric about "knocking them yellow girls two at a time" in it. Sheesh!

Sharon,

No matter what anyone says puns are not ethnic slurs. The very nature of puns renders the original meanings of the words, for lack of a better term, meaningless. I thought it was hilarious.

The question about wise men as opposed to wiseguys reminded me of this one.

Why are a "slim chance" and a "fat chance" the same thing?

It's the name of a lake someplace in New England (obviously borrowed from one of the Native American languages), and it means "I'll fish on my side, you fish on your side, nobody fishes in the middle".

Why do 'flammable' and 'inflammable' mean the same thing?


17 Apr 02 - 07:01 PM (#692412)
Subject: RE: Eternal Questions
From: SharonA

Celtic Soul: Now there's an Eternal Question – how do you spell "Chogagogmanchogagogchabunagungamog"?

On this page, it's got a similar spelling, "Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg." There's also a map of the lake of the same name: http://tompayne.dsl.speakeasy.net/tompayne/sigep/lake.htm

This site, with a photo of said lake, says the word was coined by the Nipmucks, but it inserts an extra "gag" (or is it "gog"?) into the name: http://www.net1plus.com/users/websterpd/webster_lake.htm

This blurb says that the word is from the Algonquin (is that the same as Nipmuck? or was one a tribe and the other a clan of that tribe?): http://www.roadtripamerica.com/signs/chargogg.htm

Some of these sites refer to the lake in question as being currently named Lake Webster, but this site says it's locally known as Lake Manchaug: http://www.mchs.net/MCHSLIB/HTML/didknow4.html

And finally, an answer to what I thought would be another Eternal Question, "What is the proper term for a word like Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg (besides 'long')?" It's called a hippopotomonstrosesquipedalian, according to this site: http://jewel.morgan.edu/~salimian/humor/humor_203.html

Hopefully it all means the same thing, no matter how it's spelled: "You fish on your side, I fish on my side, nobody fishes in the middle" (although that last link says, "You fish on the left side, I fish on the right side, nobody fishes in the middle"). Every reference I looked at listed the "you" first and the "I" second, so presumably that part's accurate!

BTW, I found references that list Algonquin (or Algonkin) as a tribe and Nipmuc as a nation of that tribe.

Now that I've beaten that subject into the ground, whatever shall I obsess about next??? (I'm sure I'll find something; I always do!) (sorry, kat, I do go on, I guess...)

The Hippopotomon.... page referenced by SharonA gives the Welsh place name "Llanfairpwll..." as containing 58 letters. Unfortunately this is a slight exaggeration. It contains only 52, as both 'Ll' and 'ch' are individual letters in the Welsh alphabet.

Pedantry Warning
Trevor, here is the definition, as given in the Yahoo on-line dictionary
" Historically, flammable and inflammable mean the same thing. However, the presence of the prefix in– has misled many people into assuming that inflammable means "not flammable" or "noncombustible." The prefix –in in inflammable is not, however, the Latin negative prefix –in, which is related to the English –un and appears in such words as indecent and inglorious. Rather, this –in is an intensive prefix derived from the Latin preposition in. This prefix also appears in the word enflame. But many people are not aware of this derivation, and for clarity's sake it is advisable to use only flammable to give warnings. "
