Not so much a stream, but random puddles of consciousness.

Unlike my other blog, Suburbia, this is hopefully more of a thoughtful personal site. A way to bring my Twittering, Flickring, Bookmarking and blogging etc together in one place.
Children are in bed. Watched my 5 month old fall asleep whilst singing to her. Beautiful.

Language jokes with Emo Philips.
wikipedia/Emo_Philips: Much of his standup comedy stems from the use of paraprosdokians and garden path sentences.
A paraprosdokian is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to reframe the first part.
Example: “Take my wife — please.” — Henny Youngman
Garden path sentences are used in psycholinguistics to illustrate that human beings process language one word at a time.
Example: “Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.” — Groucho Marx
