PALINODE IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE
Hi there.
Yes, I did say that I'm pleased to announce. That's all. I'm not pleased to announce anything in particular. Sometimes I get a kind of thrill, a warm feeling, a liquid warmth arising from my toes, a sense of pleasure, if you will, when I announce. Sometimes I announce particular things: my fifteenth birthday, my wedding, the day I decided to shave my head and take my place alongside all the other guys out there with the shaved heads and the wool sweaters and the pints of dark beer. But from time to time I just announce, for the pure pleasure of it. The Lotus will tell me that I can't announce without announcing something, but as usual she is hidebound by grammar. She's downright intransitive. She still doesn't like it when I tell her I'm feeling fraught.
FOR THOSE WHO COME HERE SEEKING WHATEVER INANE PHRASE YOU TYPED INTO GOOGLE
A week ago or so I submitted my site to Google's searchy search engine, and my efforts have finally paid off: so far people have come to my page searching for the following things:
- trophy mug
- Loompa Land
- the jackal movie sunglasses
Please keep it up! Do not stop searching for things that I can never provide you with! If you visit my site I guarantee to be unable to supply ceramic all-star basketball trophy mugs, a passport visa to Oompa Loompa Land (did our fantastic traveller forget the word 'Oompa'?), or great deals on 'the jackal movie sunglasses' (a more tortured way of saying 'Ray-Bans', I believe). Come on down to Palinode for not a drop, not one iota, not a sausage of what you're seeking! Unless of course you're looking for some of that vaganza, in which case I will send you mayonnaise or perhaps some glue.
