Absolutely Stunningly Fantastic!

By now, my dear EsteemedReaders roaming like deer on Blogosphere which is presently in a state of fever and fight and flight -- NOT fear! mGf for Truth shall prevail! -- for more than just a month would have sometimes been caught in bewilderment by some of my writes.

Puns and fun-Ds

I enjoy puan and pun, BUT NOT TUAN dan TUN.
I enjoy humour, yes, also rumour,
especially about someone's affairs, not my brother's infernal ramblings
It's nt that I don't enjoy johnleemk's rites,
I'm not one indulging in spikes and spites,
It's that rumour about him caught wityh a blonde in the library
He says there is no basis to the rumour, ah, the humour, he enjoys to the contrary.

THrogh writHings I'm tryoiing to reach that spiritedestination
I need 20million but I don't see the funD* coming this generation
So I cutltivate some Y&A Mentees
They become slaves to mentor at Desi's.

_________________________________________________

Dear ER, If you don't understand half of what is writ precedent to this line
It's okay, it's fien by Desi, as I often re-assure, the fault is entirely mine.
I have to live up to my nama sometimes, erring-man ways, also Desiderata,
So I make a slip hear and dare, yes, ma'am your slip is showing,
An my fly is Ooops, frying and we have to Mind Our Manners, no erotica!

Having pout you in the mood for a Sundae distraction, Sunday Inter:Lude today -- not to die for -- is doing some Standbby Comedy with mGf Rajan, who by the way is my 4A* mAn PR mAnAgAr, the otrher three I've publicised, are all femail, yes, the 3A*.
No need to mention, otherVice, the Inland Revenue may chase after them for wearing damn'd short miniskirts, also not declaring their incomes from PR outcomes. Sext, the Religious Department may kum-A-calling, so they wrote the IR a blank cheque which I just handed them each. Like the fly, it hops, skips and jumps! Usebale in Down Under, where the dears and antelope and kangaroos pray.

As I was saying, at CON BF this happy morn' when life was on top os bot us, Rajan says:

Rajan: Chong, we should have escaped during our younger daes to UK or US or even Timbuktu, just the two of us. We could have been millionaires by now instaed of jest having RM5 continental clone BF!

(CYL: that's short for shortie Chong Yen Long, or YL Chong, which I have been using my 'hole rofessional life, lest someone accuse me of not Blogging with a real name. Sext, which is a Compoung-word from next and sex, WHY do I sued it? Frankly, I dunno! Ask Rajan, onow shorted to R, to save energies.)

CYL: In Malaysia, when I write using DDC and crack some jokes, by the time the audience catches the first one, I would be into the third wan o'lady!

R: Yes, I dunno, I was telling my opub kaksi the same thing about that Harold Wilson's Irish one, although we wer in Seremban's The Goal pub, where a famous (or notorious) killing took place, and I was telling one hella of joke, but it's like the Bee Gees' number~~

THe Reporter was interviewing outgoing PM Wilson: "What was your greatest acheuvement for the past deacde off helming the Labour government, Sir?"

Wilson, full of wile and guile, answered wryly with a dry gin&tonic whisping his tongue: "England won the World Cup in 1966!"

I was watching TV live then in a Britsih pub (I was an illegal there then): The pub roarred with laughter even before the Cup was pronounced and everyone had already ordered a second, or third, or fourth, beer!

But here, at the Goal, I repeated the Joke, and all the funnies around me looked at me: Hey, what's the punchline?
I was close to committing another murder with a right punch, followed by a mortal blow from the left. I suddenly I am a leftist, and I left the blardy pub for this AP with you, Chong.

(NOTE: R calls me Chong, not Desi because he does NOT blog because most times he thinks too vividly for his own good, and all his CONfessions would be writ down and held against him in court. He once used to call me "Mr Chong" until I lambasted him I'm basically 6/7 a Socialist, for on the Se7enth Day (my fave number, remember?), I am Capitalistic and enjoy R&R&R. Why three Rs and not the usual two, you aks?
I asred R and he said: The third one stands for Rise (after all is done at the end of the day, we must look forward to that optimistic RIP, Rise If possible.)

CYL: Yes, Rajan, we would die as paupers if we do standUP comedy in Malaysia. Had we both stolen on mv ASsLI and sallied across the SE7EN seas (fave number, remember!), today I could have been up in the Hollywood billboards smiling down: US10,000 per person Final Act by Desiderata with his Final Erring APpearance. And YOU, Rajan, on billboards in LOndonderry smirking from ballboards: PoundSterling10,000 per person Semi-Final Act by DesperateDan Raja from Malaysia, FareTheeWellConsort.

R: What semi-fina;-lah?

CYL: If the collection is not good, at least you have fallout position! Me, I'm dead cetrtain, it's a fool-house. Knowing Yankees, their IQs are always rightUP dare. They know a Gem when they see one.
With these stiff-UPper-lips, I don't know, they don't take kindly to some Easteren King though you adopted that DesperateDan preix as safetry net. Raja reminds them of
Idi Amin, you know, who had a train of Whites holding him carriage-like in revenge for the Apartheid indulgences in the Dark CONtinent?

R: Yes, when I reire back to Malaysia with my millions, I must drop DesperateDan but retain Raja. There will be minions at mmy back and collar with my sackfools of British pounders.

CYL: Yeah, friend, Sidar has brough us the CON BF, you have a tennner, ah?

R: I forgot to bring my purse todie-lah!

CYL: I only have RM1,000 notes ~~plus US1,000 dollars which some kind Nigers gave me in KL in exchange for my RM1,000 lust month~~which I haven't surrendered to Bank Negara. Can we ask Sidar to record on Buku555, ah?

Sisdar, with broad s-mile-s, one to the left, one to the right: It's okay-lah, you guys come every Sunday, I'll record for next weakend when you're strogner," she's a darling who could read both our minds, Rajan's and mine.

So before I say farewell from a Comedic reharsal w'le sitting down at Furong MengKee hawker centre, let's depart with our last shot!

R: Hey, I enjoy tokking cock with you-lah, *YB!

*YB can stand for YangBerhormat, OR YangBerbodek, OR YangBertokkok)

CYL: AS LONG as we don't tokhen, kay! Cock and Hen Making the Eggs, and we can't count thsoe egss before we ourselces are hatched. See you, **Chow!

**means Eat Up what's left on the plate. OR See you again, not too soon. "Too soon" means you are in a state of Idleness, or IdolNurse, which are both bad. An idle mind is a Devil's workshp, and Idol worshipping nurses is Rajan's and Des's forts, not YOURS.

I know, YOU have been voted by Time as PERSON OF THE YEAR, but the sefl life is past by one month and 4 days. And 4 in Kantonis is pronouced Sei, whoich means ... FADE-OFF with Belles chiming and Plus-Litrak tolling.

PS: I cheeredUP one fellow Blogger who says every time CNY draws nigh, she gets the flu/ I tried to get that bug Flewing off out of the window by singing her a Julie Andrews' unforgetable number:
which contains a LONG word, vis:


from mGf: Wikipedia running nose~~~~~~~


Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
(IPA pronunciation: [ˌsu.pəˌkæ.lɪˌfɹæ.dʒəl.ɪs.tɪkˌɛk.spi.æ.lɪˈdəʊ.ʃəs]) is a song and a long word from the movie and musical Mary Poppins.

The song describes using the word as a miraculous way to talk oneself out of difficult situations, and even as a way to change one's mood. The song appears in the film's animated sequence where Mary Poppins is harangued by reporters after winning a horse race and responds to one claiming there are not words to describe her feelings of the moment. Mary disagrees with that and begins the song about one word she can use. Ever since, the word is used as an adjective referring to "absolutely stunningly fantastic".

In the West End and Broadway versions, every one runs out of conversations and Mary and the kids head to Mrs. Corry's shop, where you can buy them. Jane and Michael pick out some letters and spell a few words. Bert and Mrs. Corry use the letters to make up some words (which Jane doubts the existence of). Mary says you could use some letters more than one time and makes the longest word of all.

The word itself has obscure origins, pertaining as to when it was first used. According to Robert B. Sherman, co-writer of the song, the word was mostly created out of double-talk. The roots of the word are fairly clear, as Richard Lederer wrote in his book Crazy English: super- "above," cali- "beauty," fragilistic- "delicate," expiali- "to atone," and docious- "educable," the sum meaning roughly "Atoning for extreme and delicate beauty while still being highly educable." This is the perfect word for Mary Poppins to use, being that she thinks of herself as incredibly beautiful but also extremely intelligent.

According to the song, "you can say it backwards, which is dociousaliexpilisticfragicalirupus". In a good way Mary Poppins star Julie Andrews says it was her husband at the time, Tony Walton, who devised the backwards version of the word that is heard near the end of the song, Dociousaliexpilisticfragicalirupus (although, strictly speaking, only each individual root is reversed, rather than the order of each letter, with the exception of "rupus" which is somewhat reversed, misspelled, and mispronounced). The musical version says it with all the letters reversed instead.

[edit] Unsuccessful legal action
In 1965 the song was the subject of an unsuccessful lawsuit by two song writers against the makers of the Disney film. They alleged that it was a copyright infringement of a 1951 song of theirs - Supercalafajalistickespeealadojus. The suit failed because affidavits were produced to the effect that "variants of the word were known to and used by them many years prior to 1949." and because no copyright was registered with the Registrar of Copyrights in Washington D.C.

[edit] In popular culture
It was ranked #36 in the American Film Institute's list of the 100 Greatest Songs in Movie History in 2004.

The Sun headline.The headline "Super Caley go Ballistic, Celtic are Atrocious" was used by The Sun newspaper in 2000 following a famous upset in the Scottish Cup and was voted pun of the year for the year 2000 on The Big Breakfast. [1]
