funny rain, adventitious, war on iraq, and willy wonka
2002-10-11 � 11:02 a.m.

hey kids whats happening.

ok ok yesterday i saw these people doing funny things in the rain. like a girl rollerbalding with a trombone out of its case and falling down while going up a small incline. i saw a boy on a bicycle holding and umbrella high above his head so he looked like he was riding a bike on the high wire at the cirus.

so uhhh yeah here is a word:

adventitious ad-ven-TISH-uhs, adjective:

1. Added extrinsically; not essentially inherent.

2. (Biology) Out of the proper or usual place; as,"adventitious buds or roots."

The snag is that the play's inflamed and adventitious topicality may distract people from the timelessness of its deepest concerns. --Paul Taylor, "Afghanistan mon amour," [1]Independent, December 15, 2001

I want first to argue that Nietzsche's contempt for democracy was an adventitious extra, inessential to his overall philosophical outlook. --Richard Rorty, "Pragmatism as Romantic Polytheism"

But his posing was mostly harmless,--as superficial as the swagger and millinery of the soldier--merely adventitious to the genuine strength and gallantry underneath. --J. F. A. Pyre, "Byron in Our Day," The Atlantic, April 1907

The trunk spores are actually adventitious roots that have erupted from the trunk in response to some stress or injury to the inner bark and are probably no reason for concern. --Scott Aker, "Expect More Dogwood Blossoms Next Year," Washington Post, August 24, 2000

so seeing headlines like "Congress Passes Iraq War Resolution" makes me sad. you all should read this artical if you do not know what is happening with this situation. go here:

so uhhh yeah. i will not allow this dairy to end on such a depressing note so here are some words of wisdom from old Willy Wonka:

"I'm sorry, but all questions must be submitted in writing."

"Oh, you should never, never doubt what nobody is sure about."

"Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker!"

"Where is fancy bred, in the heart or in the head?"

"We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of the dreams."

"So shines a good deed in a weary world."

"A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men."

"The suspense is terrible... I hope it lasts."

"If the good Lord had intended us to walk he wouldn't have invented roller-skates."

Sam Beauregarde: "What is this Wonka, some kind of funhouse?"

Willy Wonka: "Why? Are you having fun?"

that is great. have a good day all
