Explain how clever you are


I was perambulating unassumingly along the boulevard (this being the correct term for the particular, almost arbour-like (although not, it must be pointed out, arbouresque), thoroughfare upon which I was located) on a solstitial morning in June (I mention the precise month only because I fear my peracute polyonymy might bamboozle you by dint of sheer perspicuity) when I happened upon (or, indeed, happened to happen upon, depending on the degree of predestination or otherwise your own philosophy, dear reader, allows you to countenance) a particularly dentigerous (which is to say, imbued with a denticulated maw of considerable significance) specimen of Canis Lupus Familiaris (of the order Carnivora, the class Mammalia, the phylum Chordata and, as I am sure you have ascertained by this point, the kingdom Animalia). This, as you will shortly realise, was a chance happening (again, the question of fate in this scenario is, as you might put it, “up for grabs”) imbued with a not inconsiderable semiological heft. For now, though, do not overtax yourself with interpretive endeavours, dear reader; all (inasmuch as such a term can be applied to the, I’m sure you can find no way to adequately deny, infinitely fractured world in which we reside) shall be revealed.

  7. This seems like a very effective way of promoting illiteracy.

  8. Thanks John – I’ve changed it. There’s a nice irony in a malapropism cropping up during a self-satisfied account of how articulate the author is, but I can’t claim that was intentional.

  9. I'd read more of this. Hope the narrator gets probed by an alien eventually.

  11. It's like reading someone trying to write Dr. Spock dialogue in fan-fiction...

  12. That's basically Victor Hugo's writing style in a nutshell. Though to be fair, he can actually pull it off.
