Etymology. The works. This is a vote of confidence. Do not disappoint me.

 

[luka]

Fuck! This is bad.

I'm a fraud. I don't know any etymology.

 

[version]

Do it for Prynne.

[constant escape]

no

"not in any degree, not at all," Middle English, from Old English na, from ne "not, no" + a "ever." The first element is from Proto-Germanic *ne (source also of Old Norse, Old Frisian, Old High German ne, Gothic ni "not"), from PIE root *ne- "not." Second element is from Proto-Germanic *aiwi-, extended form of PIE root *aiw- "vital force, life, long life, eternity." Ultimately identical to nay, and the differences of use are accidental.

if we can get a database expert we could get them to calculate whose got the biggest vocabulary - that's a key dissensus performance indicator i think?

 

[luka]

NO
A self crystallises around
NO
A self is a DISCIPLINE.
A REFUSING.

Each time a NO becomes a YES
a shard of self is lost
dissolved, into surge and tumult,
froth and swell,
Subsumed, taken back.

I am a shell, sheltering a worm.
a sham, a curse
a jinx,
A POX.​

i was thinking about 'paste' the other night. it could be like glue, it could be used to stick something else.

 

[constant escape]

What would make one pasty? If they were suspended within some protective layer that prevents them from becoming crusty, protects them from external swirling storm of crustifying force by absorbing and letting in only fragments of it, perhaps through receptors - and then this layer were to crack? Redirecting the force seems to diminish it.

edit: that is, someone is pasty until such a crack occurs.

 

[catalog]

i read that first and thought it was - what makes someone a pasty
do you have pasties in america?
interesting cos pasties are tasty and inside is quite pasty, but the mulch is delicious.
cornish export originally, urbanomic talks about them.

 

[catalog]

but yeah, paste as generative of something else, its like glue, its a mess on its own, but it could serve a function to produce eg cohesion

 

[constant escape]

A sort of empanada?

 

[catalog]
