A Modern Man That Understands Corporate Gobbledygook

Below is a video of a modern man that understands corporate gobbledygook. Only one person on earth could put this string of corporate gobbledygookisms together and deliver them with heart-pounding panache. The DaVinci of Words. George Carlin.

I once confessed I played a passable piano. But then I saw Bruce Hornsby play. My definition of "passable" transmogrified into a necessary gastric function. And, he made me want to chop my fingers off.

But I've gotten over that. (Never mind the image to my left. It's just an alter-ego-toon.)

George Carlin makes me feel that way with words. When I try to string a line of maturative, indurative, depurative, and curative words to halt corporate gobbledygoook it pails and fails in comparison to the world's master word-painter, George CarlinVinci

I yield the floor to George.

Old Blood and Guts - Through a Glass Darkly

Image
We've moved to a new site - WritingRiffs.com Appreciate you checking this article out at WritingRiffs.com . We'll be deleting all the content on this site over the next few weeks. Thanks! Steve He was charming. Reckless. Brilliant. Rash. Kind and callous. Vicious and violent Yet gentle and a gentleman. Prayed on his knees but cussed like a sailor. His men called him “Old Blood and Guts." When Life Was Worth Less Than Zero This complex man, commanding and savagely fighting during the murderous madness of World War II, when life was worth less than zero, believed himself to be a warrior of old. Of other times. Other places. Many times - many places. He thought about it. Spoke about it. Wrote about it. But hardly anyone remembers ... lost to another time, another place. Magnetic. Majestic. His poem, "Through A Glass Darkly," is an amazing testament to and from a warrior. Each time I read it I marvel at the complex sagacity and intellectual magnificence of this...

So This is Christmas ... What Have You Done?

Image
So fast. Another year past. 2007 gone. 2008 soon upon. Questions How did you do? What did you do? What did you do that really mattered? Have you even thought about it that way? Or … Were You Just Too Busy? Have you considered how precious and fleeting each moment is? How each breath is an amazing blessing extending our existence on this blue-green magical orb called earth? An earth that travels through space at over 1,000 miles per hour and moves around the sun at 67,000 miles per hour? Too Much to Do Or did you have too much to do to wonder at that? I did. Have you considered that if the expansion rate of the universe was changed by one part in a trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion, faster or slower, life on earth would not exist? Too Many E-mails Or did you have too many e-mails to think about that? My inbox was pretty much always full. A Really Big Inch Did you know that if a measuring tape were stretched across the universe and segmented in one-inch increments (bi...

Social Media News Room Examples

Image
I visited a lot of social media newsrooms (SMN's) for the "Social Media News Releases Are Absolutely Worthless" article. Below are examples of real newsrooms engaged in real business, and just not some theoretical treatises on the joys and efficacies of a social media newsroom concept. The companies spread out among different industries - a fairly decent cross-section. The Big Bang I saw a lot of SMN's that started out with a hot flash, big bang ... then stopped. They haven't been updated for months, if at all. Why? Novelty? Too much work? Risk? No results? Not enough digital assets? Part or all of those things? Don't know. I'll take a shot at it though. It's related to "doing the work." It's a lot of hard work pulling all the content, multi-media and social news sharing capabilities together without making yourself "look a fool." The Hard Work is not the Hard Work And the hard work part is not the hard work. Creating or...
