Design for ... Not Failing ... More!

CR: So what's the plan?

GWB: Stay away from the word "escalate." We are not "escalating."

CR: How about "surge"?

GWB: That's good, that's good. Surge. I like it.

CR: Got it. We're not escalating, we're surging.

GWB: Yeah, surge has ... more of a masculine ring to it. Escalate sounds gay and French. Surge has a lot more ... What's the word I'm looking for? Hey, by the way, nice dress, Condi.... Oh yeah! "Penis!"

Mishearing Heads

Time isn't holding us
Time isn't after us

-- David Byrne

Thought they were:

Time is an astrobus
Time is an albatross
Time is an afterthought

At different times.

My old albums left on the street in Boston, on Hancock Street, long ago and far away.
