Well, how thrillingd to see the birth of a Chorus of Snubs!
Not unknown in earlier times, more recently this choir has gone by
various names:
* The Snubbettes
* The Cut-Me-Deads
* Icycles On Tricycles.
[The Icycles' best known single: Cold Shoulders To CryOn.]
[their best known imitators: Chilly Willy (always small, never
really a stand-out)]
And.. I'm sensing a market segment opening here..
Snubbing Oil; (just douse the snubee and [ ] <== fill in
the blanks yourself )
"Snub-Me"; a wall-mounted mirror, at home or work, in which you can
ignore yourself whenever you wish.
Snubbery; a special snubbing room for those who can afford to add
one to their home.
"Snubflakes"; A breakfast food which you bring to the front of the
shelf each night then push to the back each morning.
"SnubKnows" A TV quiz show where the host never asks the one person
who is practically wetting themselves because they know the answer.
Snub-U.edu; Get qualified! All the way from apprentice snub right
through to Doctor of Snubosophy!
Snubsmirk; following a successful snub, that special silent
sniggering that can occasionally result in passing paramedics
throwing you to the floor, applying the paddles to your naked chest
and shouting "Clear!" ("Bzzzzt!" It's a tough way to get Frequent
Fryer points).
Snubstaurant; where snubbees go, not to eat, but to never get noticed
by waiters, until they try to leave without paying!
Snubsecond; the time it takes to realise that you've been snubbed!
Snubyear; the time it takes for the snubee to recover his balance,
equilibrium and wallet.
..
Alas, NOT! will I, this Share attend;
With 'ternal tyrant distance to contend,
and those oxy-fractious Jumbos* on the mend,
I'll not chance she'll hit too hard, and bend.
[* "Jumbo" might be a regd. mark of the Boing! Corp.]
Now, if this post sinks without a response.. yup, that would be a
serious s**b :-)
In anxious anticipation, I remain,
not yours :-)
Graeme.
So much time, so little to do! (WW)
