That rubbing two butts does not produce butter; Betting on this will not make it better; Rubbing two brats only makes it wurst; That is the rub! Now on a separate note - did you know that you could commence a Chiropractice outside Egypt?

Once in a while I get fixated on a word and try to understand why or how that word came to be. Dogma is one such. I mean coming from India its hilarious to see the possibility of this one. Dogma could translate to mother of Dog. Then there was a character in the famous Asterix cartoons called Dogmatix. Dogma can dog someone like me no end. If they clone a dog with a sheep maybe they will get a Dogma. Also tends to sound like a special form of Mediterranean food that comes on a stick. Or something wrapped in a grape leaf. Although defined as a belief held by religious principle this Dog just goes Ma - doggone it.

That's right. This blog is regarding the repeated reaming that the letters RE get and why that may be. We are not humming Do Re Me here. Rather trying to figure how I can explain the following words without Repeating myself - Peated Membered Quired Splendant Negade Jected Queim Someone I am sure knows what the above listed and many unlisted ones might be. I for one have no idea and while on the subject of strange language idiosyncracies there is this matter of DE. As in what is - Stroyed Jected Murred Canted Lusional Perhaps we are all Tarded.

I am not on narcotics. I have to clarify in case the reader wondered about the obtuse title of the blog and hastened to conclude that I must be in order to phrase these two concepts in the same breath. Obvious flaw in that 'same breath' assumption would be reader being unaware of my breathing rate - i.e. I could have exhaled few times (and consequently inhaled) before I came up with the title. More aptly it would imply I was doing some form of Pranayam as I came up with blog titles. Let me assure you that that is not the case. Having got the air flow dynamic out of the way let me proceed to explain this juxtaposition of ideas. More on what a 'juxta' is in another blog. The second law of thermodynamics ('thermo' who you ask - another blog) states that the Entropy of a closed system (think our planet with its dumbass sapiens inhabitants) always increases. In English it means that everything we see around us is a constant state of instability and therefore ...

Bombay is Mumbai - should Bollywood be Mumbailakdi? Madras is Chennai so what of Madurai? Could it be Charas? It would help to smoke some to get answers to these riddles. Who and why does someone mess with what is? Is it because someone had to? Since the ipad idea was taken there was nothing else to do? Because world hunger is a rhetorical issue to solve? If $100 bought only 1 INR (Rupee) would India ask Americans trying to get in to have an Orange Card? Would Americans want to get in? Will we face a veggie crisis with cows running amuck since many swear off of beef? Will Bajaj suddenly have monopoly over all Rickshaw sales in Manhattan? Would Geithner or his successor balk at allowing Bajaj to take over the Raj? Would Detroit reappoint Rick Wagoner as head of Government Motors and produce their own version of the Rick's Shaw II? Maybe brand it as S(h)awTooth akin to the new Corvette StingRay? How would traffic in Times Square look like with a steady supply of un...

Bernie that is. You know who I am talking about. The Ponzi Artist. Should he be called an artist? After all there are con artists, right? Who's to blame? The one who made off with the money or the gullibles that got made? The dupeworthy or the super duper? History repeated itself with the announcement, make that expression of guilt from the one who used all his strong arm tactics to convince the world to watch people ride cycles on a hill. You know who I am talking about. The one and only Lance who made people wear yellow rubber bands. Was that supposed to make us feel good about our postal service? Which although has vans to deliver mail seems to be slower like they were on a cycle? That would be India circa 1980s.. Are those that got taken to the rubber to blame or the one who rode on rubber wheels? I think frankly that for every scam there is a scamee waiting to be scammed. To take advantage of people's inevitable ability to get suckered is also equally hum...

For different folks. America, more specifically the State of California spent Millions on painting their Golden Gate Bridge it's signature international red. It looks stunning in its 75th anniversary coat. On the other side of the planet in Kolkatta, India people are trying to save another ancient architecture turning 70 next year. It's their equivalent of the Golden Gate.. Except this is of an indeterminate color made to look orange by the daily paint job it gets from the Gutkha spitting public. Gutkha is an amazing chemical concoction that contains variety of carcinogens and acids that is chewed as a cheap high and spit when done. These spit gobs are corroding this superstructure used by 90,000 vehicles daily. Someone said the world is an oyster but perhaps an apt title could be - the world is a spittoon so use it with gay abandon? Oh well..it's an agenda item for the Indian government to make it illegal in all states to sell and consume the dreaded substance. Th...
