panjandrum & greenmail

panjandrum pan-JAN-druhm, noun:
An important personage or pretentious official.

Panjandrum was coined by Samuel Foote in a piece of nonsense writing:

So she went into the garden to cut a cabbage-leaf to make an apple-pie; and at the same time a great she-bear, coming up the street, pops its head into the shop. “What! No soap?” So he died, and she very imprudently married the barber: and there were present the Picninnies, and the Joblillies, and the Garyulies, and the grand Panjandrum himself, with the little round button at top, and they all fell to playing the game of catch-as-catch-can till the gunpowder ran out at the heels of their boots.

It was composed on the spot to challenge actor Charles Macklin’s claim that he could memorize anything. Macklin is said to have refused to repeat a word of it.

greenmail GREEN-mayl noun

The practice of buying a large quantity of a company’s stock as a hostile
takeover measure, and then selling it to the company at a higher price.

[From green (money) + mail (as in blackmail).]

simple substitution cipher. maybe better than the lodd idea?

ow! shoulda used nipguards!http://www.nipguards.com/

All silly pictures aside, this isn’t a joke. NipGuards, LLC manufactures and sells a patented product that prevents nipple chafing and abrasion.

a testimonial – Recently when I ran a road race, I too became a victim. A victim of nipple abrasion. It was about half way through the race that I noticed my nipples becoming tender. When I checked them out at the end of the race, I saw that they had been rubbed raw. So raw that they were bleeding. Can you imagine the embarrassment and ridicule I endured? It was horrible. Now that I have my Nipguards, I can now concentrate on my running, not my bleading nips, and give 100% everytime. It is because of Nipguards that I can now stay in shape and keep on runnin’. Thanks Nipguards!

I Only Have Eyes For You

My love must be a kind of blind love
I can’t see anyone but you

Are the stars out tonight?
I don’t know if it’s cloudy or bright
I only have eyes for you, dear

The moon may be high
But I can’t see a thing in the sky
‘Cause I only have eyes for you

I don’t know if we’re in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue

You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you

The moon may be high
But I can’t see a thing in the sky
‘Cause I only have eyes for you

You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view

I don’t know if we’re in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue

You are here, so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you

Welcome to my wall scrawls.
