Logorrhoea etc...

I liked this weeks readings. They made more sense and were more direct, which I guess is the point of Logorrhoea. After the other readings the Longorroea article is like a breathe of fresh air. Direct, to-the-point and some common sense, which kinda sheds some light on previous articles. How often do you listen to someone using too many big words to say something so simple and think "they think they sound brilliant but really they sound kinda dumb". I especially liked the example of the Sokal Affair. The "colorless green ideas sleep furiously" article was interesting enough. I thought although the sentence doesn't make sense it does sound poetic and maybe that is because it is grammatically correct. Jobberwocky was fun. I read it as a kid and at the time I'm pretty sure I thought it made sense. I guess that's what having an active imagination will do.
