CRAIG CONLEY (Prof. Oddfellow) is recognized by Encarta as “America’s most creative and diligent scholar of letters, words and punctuation.” He has been called a “language fanatic” by Page Six gossip columnist Cindy Adams, a “cult hero” by Publisher’s Weekly, a “monk for the modern age” by George Parker, and “a true Renaissance man of the modern era, diving headfirst into comprehensive, open-minded study of realms obscured or merely obscure” by Clint Marsh. An eccentric scholar, Conley’s ideas are often decades ahead of their time. He invented the concept of the “virtual pet” in 1980, fifteen years before the debut of the popular “Tamagotchi” in Japan. His virtual pet, actually a rare flower, still thrives and has reached an incomprehensible size. Conley’s website is OneLetterWords.com.

A very tiny radio behind a magnifying glass picks up a weird station undetectable by other devices.

I Found a Penny Today, So Here's a Thought – April 11, 2023 (permalink)

Is it possible to craft a highbrow joke about Shakespeare's multiple personalities?
Thanks to film critic Grumpy Andrew, who wrote: "Zounds! 'Ophelia pain' is about as good a punchline as I have ever heard."

Here's the heptagonal sofa that came to us in a Moorish-Appalacian-Boho-Retrotech vision.  The mirage on the back panel took six weeks to wood burn.  The little cabin niche on the left side is an optical illusion, only an inch deep.  The lamp is from Lithuania, and the pendant from Morocco.  The Bigfoot fur pillows are from Tibet.

Go Out in a Blaze of Glory – March 29, 2023 (permalink)

Carlo Catalano wrote: "You have the wildest & most uniquely funny shows on YOU TUBE, I've tried to share your work but my shares were pulled off Fb as fake news. Esoteric humour will do that. Joyce thought Finnegans Wake was funny because it made Beckett laugh so much. Beckett was hard of hearing & hallucinated many of the jokes he wrote in as amanuensis."
Thank you, Carlo, for this amazing comment and incredible insight in your last two sentences. As I fled FB years ago, I didn't know they had labeled me fake news, but I did know from my channel stats that my content is actively being suppressed. What a world!
