"Oh, and you'd better not drop any hints that you think you're working a dozen inferential steps away from what the audience knows, or that you think you have special background knowledge not available to them. The audience doesn't know anything about an evolutionary-psychological argument for a cognitive bias to underestimate inferential distances leading to traffic jams in communication. They'll just think you're condescending."

Eyes Wide Wide

Not too long ago, I was in the mall to take a photo for visa purposes and the photobooth machine, and also look for the store that sells the sleep watch (but that is a different story, one that is too long to type).

I saw the number 15 on the side, so i put a 10 and a five in the coin slot closed the curtain behind me and sat down. Thence, i proceeded to navigate the menu to the size and amount i wanted. This is when I found out it only costs ten. And, the machine does not give change. Press the button to start the timer and take the pictures. At this point I hold my eyes open.

The problem with photos is that whenever the flash goes off, I blink. The strategy is to hold my eyes wide open. The flash goes off. I blink. Somewhere, in the mele of the flash, the blink and the click, all meet at a happy win-win-win situation, hopefully. It didn't work. On the screen I see myself looking like a dear in the headlights. Actually, with this surprised expression on my face I look less dear and more deer.

So it's time for try number two. Button is pressed. Voice is counting. Eyes are open. Click. Again, headlamps.

Third and final time: Button is pressed. Voice is counting. Eyes are open. Click. Oh deer, not again.

So, I select the third set and photos appear in the slot. The camera was a bit zoomed in so my hear fills the whole shot. It's only for a visa, no big deal.

I was walking away, when I realized that there was no flash.

R-BOP

So the other day I was sitting in a sherut, when I noticed a book on the dashboard. The title on the spine read, "R-BOP". I kept looking at the book trying to figure out what R-BOP could mean. Is it a new type of music? I looked at the author's name for a clue: Evgenii Suhov. No help. One more time, "R-BOP". One more time, Evgenii. One more time, "Я-ВОР". Ohhhhh. That's a "Я" not an "R". "Я-ВОР" pronounced "YA VOR" means "I am a (the) thief.

The Contradictions of Pier Pressure

You should have two piers, one to receive ships and one to launch them. But, how do you get ship from the receiving pier (without launching it) to the launching pier (without recieving it)? It's a pair of docks.

Maybe i could collect all of the definitions in a book and call it a contradictionary.
