07 Jul 4705 - Elocution is the New Black

It's like electrocution. Only you replace killing with the precise conveyance of meaning. I suppose electrons also convey their own message in their own way, but I'm not here to have electrons give you a full body massage. Only to elocute.

Everything that's surrposed to have mustrd init. What kind of person in his right mind would demand something of a poet and expect it to be done?
A conservative?
A moron?
Is there an echo in here?

If people tell you to stop doing something, then you have to be defiant about it, especially if you're doing something poiratey, then you gotta' be all poirety-defiant. Arr.
You are a pirate.

Or anyway you could have been, or more importantly could yet be. Also robots.

I figured out that COMM101 (Interpersonal and Group Communication) less COMM100 (Public Speaking) is communicating in a group without talking. I figure this also means you cannot send text to one another, so clearly you can only non-verbalize. This means that you can only feel about until your group arrives at some mutual opinion. This, I give you, is grope-think. Not to be confused with either groupthink or shit-giving.

gropethink: Feeling each partner until you all understand the same thing, as long as that thing you understand is something other than the fact that you're all tired of groping each other.
groupthink: An Orwellian term for the kind of idea that comes about because those who are thinking about it are too tired to put any creative energy into their ideas. To let others think for you. May or may not involve groping.
shit-giving: To care, especially the kind of compassion that is unasked-for, pernicious, persistent, and petulant. To give a shit. Proverbially. You know, like that proverb about the donkey who gave a shit, the horse, water, and a guy with wax wings flying too close to the sour grapes.

Sour grapes are full of cosmic rays. Cosmic Rays.

Basically, going to a coffee shop, unsolicited, to read things out loud is still excellent and we could still use more pirates.
