A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
I think of myself as an adjective.
ReplyDeleteI liked Postgate's story of struggling to get himself arrested as a conscientious objector in 1943. Odd sort of fellow, really.
ReplyDeleteI've always seen myself as a preposition. maybe we could get together and form a sentence. nige can bring the commas (a little butterfly joke for you there)
ReplyDeletenige, I saw this and thought of you. what do you think the significance of the little bird and the big empty box is? it's never going to nest in that!
ReplyDeleteI always thought of myself as a noun until the day I accidentally locked my wife out of the house. When remembering that day, she always refers to me as an adjective.
