or some reason there needs to be a dinner party at a long table that employs these. I don’t know why either.
Great resource. More fun examples:
* Using phrases relating to one subject or idea, write about another, pushing metaphor and simile as far as you can. For example, use science terms to write about childhood or philosophic language to describe a shirt.
* Attempt tape recorder work, that is, recording without a text, perhaps at specific times.
* Write what cannot be written; for example, compose an index.
* Consider word and letter as forms-the concretistic distortion of a text, a mutiplicity of o’s or ea’s, or a pleasing visual arrangement: “the mill pond of chill doubt.”
* Write a poem that reflects another poem, as in a mirror.
* Choose a subject you would like to write “about.” Then attempt to write a piece that absolutely avoids any relationship to that subject. Get someone to grade you.

how fun is this?
Victor Borge on his invented “Inflationary Language,” where he embeds incremented numbers in words:
See, we have hidden numbers in the words like “wonderful,” “before,” “create,” “tenderly.” All these numbers can be inflated and meet the economy, you know, by rising to the occassion. I suggest we add one to each of these numbers to be prepared. For instance “wonderful” would be “two-derful.” Before would be Be-five. Create, cre-nine. Tenderly should be eleven-derly. A Leiutenant would be a Leiut-eleven-ant. A sentence like, “I ate a tenderloin with my fork” would be “I nined an elevenderloin with my five-k.” And so on and so fifth.It’s better to listen and watch while reading.
um, excuse my unknowingness, but is there an accelerometer in everything? Click through to play!
