I like ducks. There are too many bobble-head dolls in the world; I figure the maximum number should be around twenty-three. There is no governor anywhere. Fnord. Napalm jokes are not as amusing as some people think they are. Never eat anything bigger than your head. Remain calm. Kinky Friedman is a very funny fella. Good music can be painful. Watch your head.

Vim and Vigor

So I was using the latest version of 'vim', which is a source-code editor that is an improvement on the old Unix-flavor 'vi' editor (boring geeky stuff). And that got me thinking about the phrase 'Vim and Vigor'. This was used to describe someone who was way too full of energy, bouncing about, and generally acting like an acrobat on meth. They were chock full of 'vim' and 'vigor'.

So I looked it up at www.dictionary.com. Know what? Vim and vigor mean the same thing. Hello? Department of Redundancy Department?

All these years - we've been lied to again.

We won't be fooled again! No, no, no!

Aw, who am I kidding?

And what kind of fool wastes an hour on thinking about things like this, let alone writing about it?

Makes you think.

Best,

Wiggy

Wow, Vim is a domestic detergent over here. Well, it used to be: haven't seen any in the shops for years.
