You’re welcome! But don’t thank me—thank the rhythmic and peaceful sound of the virtually chirping virtual crickets™!
Cragganmore 12-year-old Speyside, 4th glass. In case you were wondering.
I picked a bad 6 weeks to give up booze. Deep breathing just ain’t cutting it on days like this.
So the crickets are helpful. Thanks.
Crickets
Yeah…Yeah
Great rainbow trout bait though
Oh and they get real quiet when the hook goes in.
Goosestepping fascist! How dare you cherrypick H.R. Huff’N Puff Land to cull outside agitators who were celebrating the attempt on Dick Cheney’s life!
You’ll get what you deserve: a good night’s sleep.
I’m going to dream that Olbermoonbat will be forced to organize Condi’s shoe closet for the rest of his life, in punishment for sending an army of straw men into battle on live television. How about you?
Shhhh. You’re harshing my mellow, bobonthebellbuouy…
I figured single malt was involved somehow. Good booze and the right mood make all things seem right with the world.
I hate crickets!
Nothing but tone deaf cockroaches with fiddles.
Kill’em all, and let God listen to their damn noise, I say.
Okay okay
Worms then, they’re quiet little fuckers
but crickets catch the big ones
Just sit back, relax, and think Oliva Newton-John, or whatever her name is. “Are you feeling melllllll-oh?”
Floormate in college that we almost collectively threw out a fifth floor window for playing his Newton-Jones album over and over and over…
But, hey, I kill the mellow. Back to the crickets: chirp, chirp, chirp
Here come the Sun King …..
Ideally I suppose a post of cricket chirps should have no comments, or else comments with a lot of empty space.
Let me try to create some empty space.
Close your eyes. Relax. Breathe deeply.
You are in the skull of Glenn Greenwald.
Well, at least that explains the cabana boys.
I KID!

well, my reaction to that scared the kitties away.

Nice.
After a 4th glass, my crickets develop a lisp…
shirp…

Where the hell is my king sized can of Raid?
Now he’s cherrypicking crickets.
damn cicadas!
But I’m a city boy. Crickets are annoying one-note bugs. How’s about the dull roar of passing traffic through a closed window? Soothing – plus the thought of eco-loons’ collective outrage at all those fumes gives me snuggly dreams.
I considered a rumination on null sets (mom was a math professor)….
chirp…

I considered political commentary….

But I went with Scotch and the Zen of contentment….wishing the Goldstein family all the best on this winter’s day….

Good DAY Sir..

Saw one of those Discovery shows where they follow an expedition someplace remote. This one was in the jungles of Borneo. They had an insect guy with them, and he spent one night outside with a floodlight and a bed sheet, attracting insects.
One of them was a cicada that looked four inches long and two across.
If you’re a gecko, that’s the sound of lunch. Or if you’re Salma Hayek.
My local birds also chirp, and my local crickets make a sound that is different from birds chirping. I am not arguing with Jeff, just wondering if the chirping of crickets and the chirping of birds is the textual equivalent of a homonym, except in reference to animal languages. And is there a word for that?
But this being Texas, who knows what wonders exist beyond my initial impression of Nature’s grandeur?
And before anyone accuses me of anti-homonym agitation, let me state in support of homonymny: Not that there’s anything wrong with that!
That was, if I’m not mistaken, the “an ordinary cricket glimpsed in its moment of brief Greenwaldian awakening†comment.
HOMOPHONE!
I was in Denver just a couple weeks ago – had a couple of drinks at the hotel bar (Adam’s Mark, OK place) with a couple of colleagues. One of them is a Scotch Guy (owns part of a cask in Scotland). He let me have a sip of something that was $45 a glass and 25 years old.
I can’t afford to drink single-malt. I’ll stick to micro-brews on the back porch listening to the crickets.
TW: I would have rateed that drink a 51 out of a possible 55.
Homonym and homophone have essentially the same meaning. But they sound different. Sort of like the chirping of birds and the chirping of crickets.

Deny not the homograph! For it is a beautiful thingy! Homographs are words that are spelled identically but may or may not share a pronunciation. Their tops are made out of rubber, and their bottoms are really quite springy.
I think the textual referent at issue is a HOMOGRAPH. Again, not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Clint, next time go down a couple of blocks from downtown to 13th Ave at Pints Pub. Huge collection of single malts by the glass – the single malt menu is a half dozen pages long.
I’m gonna go broke. -er.
