    Something well and truly is bugging me right now and I hope my question doesn't get lost in the shuffle...


    Is there a technical name for when a word or phrase blends into another one to form something that still flows pretty well? And could be taken apart in two ways? The main and only example I can think of right now is the band Camper Van Beethoven, which is either "Camper Van" with "Beethoven" stuck on the end or Beethoven's actual name with "Ludwig" replaced by "Camper". 


    Is there even a name for that? And is there some other really obvious example of it that I'm forgetting?

    Definitely not gay.

    Is it considered acceptable to doublepost in image threads?

    Listen to your heart. It will tell you the correct path.

  • DYREDYRE

    I don't think anybody here has ever expressed a dislike for doubleposts even in non-imagedump threads.

    You can change. You can.

    So it seems I won't be able to vote this time yet again, over a bureaucratic issue only recently fixed. This is disheartening.

    I immediately thought of Wheel of Fortune's "Before & After" puzzles. Nonsensical things like "COMMUNIST PARTY ROCK ANTHEM".


    Yeah, I know, this doesn't answer your question, but...I dunno, I'm bored.

    THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING OF!!! Yeah but really, I knew I'd seen something like that before somewhere, and Wheel of Fortune is that somewhere.


    I asked a linguist friend and she said something about compound nouns or and proper nouns.

    Transcribing a 30-minutes long interview (with a fairly inarticulate interviewee) and compressing it into this is some really difficult stuff.

    I am so unprepared for my presentation tomorrow.


    So I just went through my content, and realized that I need to properly define my "objective" (it's for a class basically on policy negotiation and implementation).


    I have less than a day left.

    If he's a troll, he's one of the most persistent trolls ever. He's been doing this for over a decade, after all. And is a WND columnist.

    Exactly. He hasn't been quite this horrific until now, but he's been straddling the line for a very long time.

    An MSTKing of the article, since you're no doubt curious as to what brand of moon logic the guy uses. It's roughly this:


    moolah losses: (breakdown of marriages*broken gender roles)+(missed tax revenue*unborn cracker rape babbies bred)+(revenue*jobs stolen*darkies bred)>(tax dollars spend on victim care+prosecution+cost of workforce assets due to trauma*number of rapes)+benefits of workforce specialization due to breakdown of gender roles missed

    "c) doing so significantly increases the probability that his wife will stop being attracted to him and his marriage will fail."



    Ok, to be fair to him here, there was a study done showing that the rate of divorce goes up among those where the woman works and the man stays at home. It only showed up once to my knowkedge, with no follow up, and the story pointing to the study was on Yahoo which means they could have easily exaggerated it, but I can at least see the method to his madness here

    c) doing so significantly increases the probability that his wife will stop being attracted to him and his marriage will fail.


    Protip: People have far more reasons to stay together or get divorces than sexual attraction.  Sexual attraction is only the tip of the iceberg.

  • IcalasariIcalasari

    ^ Yeah, as stated it was a single study and I don't think there were any follow ups



    So a poor thing to base an opinion on, but at least I can see his thought process there ("ERMAHGAWD EVEN DEM LIRBERAL SCI-UN-TEESTS AHGREH WIT MEH! NAH AH HAF PRUF!")

    how to prove that e = 2


    pie = 2 pi
    pie/pi = 2 pi/pi
    e = 2


    ebin :-DDDDDDDDDDDDD

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    pie = 2 pi
    pie/pi = 2 pi/pi
    e = 2



    i find your maths flawed


    pie = pi + e
    pie = 2 pi


    therefore, pi = e
