Annoying Sandman ~ Idiosyncratic Elf! ~ Sand in EYES? REALLY??! #haiku #Goodnight

✎ I sort of have a Goodnight/Sandman haiku series going ...which naturally evolved from tweeting 'til I'm ready to drop, which leads to odd thoughts about mythic characters from childhood, combined with a last flash of inspiration from my muse, crossed with fatigue & hashtagged with that regularly trending-twitter-topic, "Goodnight." If you've followed my twitter page, this is old news.

Idiosyncratic conflation of cynosures & @marcosarroyos: #WeaponizedCelebs?! LOL (via @languageNhumor)

✎ When I saw that hashtag (& multiple tweets w/various celeb-combos) posted on Kevin's page, I couldn't help but think of Marcos' macabre serial killer tweets ...&, of course, our previous star-related word, as well (which, BTW, I happened across again in the new yesterday [NYT or AP]).



25 Points

Totally conflated ...AND idiosyncratic: #actorfoods! LOL (via @andibob)

✎ ...then Andi posted this one (with multiple tweets of the conflations). Can we say ... ... ... [oh, crud, I was thinking of one of our WOTD's that had to do with eating, but I can't remember it, now!!] *sigh* lol



25 Points

Man, I think I'll start a band called My Idiosyncratic Come-On's. (MT @MaxRaunchiness)

✎ This was a 'modified tweet' inspired by this tweet by Max (a serial series of his, BTW) - I couldn't resist pointing out his eccentric pick-up lines ...as opposed to the obvious which he stated, here:

RT @MaxRaunchiness Man, I think I'll start a band called My Idiosyncratic Romance.

King Aaron precociously asked the idiosyncratic fool 4 a joke, but he only gesticulated repeatedly, being the court gesture. MT @MaryJenkins

✎ This was a 'modified tweet' inspired by this tweet by Mary (in which she was also referencing Aaron's having been 'King' of Artwiculate, yesternight)':

RT @MaryJenkins King @AaronLivingston precociously asked the fool for a joke. The idiosyncratic fool only shrugged repeatedly. He was the court gesture.

[I'd kinda thought I'd like to fit a mime reference in there (&/or doppelganger), but the tweet-police stopped me before I sped past 140. But, at any rate, I couldn't resist MT-ing it, in order to squeeze in that previous WOTD.]



23 Points

Nate was a great date …until women found out about his idiosyncratic need to hoard bat-scat. Then they'd guano break up.

✎ I kinda liked this one. Obviously more than other people did (by the looks of the points, anyway). Probably too much. I mean, it was a pretty crappy tweet. [*groan* - Don't laugh, now; you don't guano make me use more heinous puns!!]

"Batman, don't you find our superhero-outfits exceedingly idiosyncratic?" / "I think that's kind of the point, Robin."

✎ Ha! Glad others seemed to enjoy THIS one, anyway! ;-D

The early Wordy Birdie has idiosyncratic worm-choices: She only catches worms which happen to form letters of the alphabet.

✎ Kinda reminds me of alphabet-soup or Alpha-Bits cereal! ;)

Silia's a idiosyncratic feather~A friend for any type of weather~As beautiful as she is clever~Good at her ev'ry endeavor. (cc @SJHatzi)

✎ I chose a few other Artwiculate players as topics (except for the obviously-eccentric Max, I think they were ones whose names were right in front of me when I opened my replies, or something).



39 Points

Our Savannah is a star~A mixtress mistress at the bar~Simultaneously serving poems~An idiosyncratic collector of gnomes. (@StarOfSavannah)

✎ Star had just mixed up a new signature libation for the Salon Artwois bar - which had been posted along with a special poem she'd mixed up to go with it (peachy!).

Star responded:

RT @StarOfSavannah @tWordBird I love it, Birdie! Such a wonderful poem!

I replied:

tWordBird: @StarOfSavannah YW, Star - glad you liked your poem. ~Birdie Bard :)>

Star replied:

RT @StarOfSavannah @tWordBird You are a bard, Birdie. So honored you thought of me while you were composing.

To which I replied:

.@StarOfSavannah Yes, I obviously gave great thought to that & your particular idiosyncrasies (psychic, wasn't I, about the gnomes?). ;0)


36 Points

Max's idiosyncratic redhead-ho~Is imaginary - nothing mo'~ Yet she's what he is living for. #SalonArtwois (cc @MaxRaunchiness)

✎ As I said, Max was just the obvious - the epitome of the WOTD; & his infamous redhead was just begging to be messed with, as well. ;)



28 Points

Osmar's changing, idiosyncratic hair ~ Makes up for overuse of Nair ~ And keeps his mirror's reply, "Fair." (cc @osmarjardim)


✎ That's right - OSMAR! His capricious ever-changing twit-pic hairdo actually was the first thing to pop into my head at the mention of the WOTD. lol

Precocious

Precocious (adj) : characterized by exceptionally early development or maturity; exhibiting advanced skills at an abnormally early age
28 March 2010



16 Points

Precocious children~Both a blessing & a curse~Given to parents~Whether they're formerly-one~Or just hebetudinous.#tanka #haiku

✎ This didn't really turn out well as a tanka. I'd meant it to mean that the parents may be formerly-precocious &/or hebetudinous, themselves ...& that, as such (either way), it is both trying & delightful to have a precocious child, especially (though that's really true of any child [being both]). It just didn't come out very readable/enjoyable in this forced-syllabic format (which I realized more-fully later, when I'd reread it).



44 Points

Precocious as a child ~ Amusing yet polite ~ She's now a-touch-of-wild ~ My muse is a delight! #poem

✎ She IS indeed delightful ...when she actually shows up. I rather feel as if she's been on some sort of extended holiday, lately, though!! ;)



41 Points

I felt precocious, before I started playing with 'persiflage'. Now I'm just egregiously-disheveled w/an add'l odious misnomer.

✎This one's an ode to my wicked li'l shenanigans w/the previous WOTD ...& to the fact that I already use a 'nom de plume' & likely had various tweeps adding other choice names for me, after that! ;)



50 Points

The Artwiculati were indubitably all precocious children! ☺ #Artwiculate

✎ Ah - SO true, aye? Well, at least it struck enough of a cord amongst our Artwiculati to garner a top-20 spot for the day. ;)



◊ I'd also like to make mention of three tweet-entries for this WOTD from other Artwiculati on the topic of precocious birds:



RT @TiddK The precocious bird catches the bird, then runs off to show Mum

✏ I really enjoyed the simple truth of this one - it's just a succinct essence of childlike precociousness with the lovely bird-twist to it!



RT @JonPowles The precocious bird built a worm farm.

✏ Ha! Love how this one goes that step-beyond (as precocious children also do), & packs everything into a mere 7 words (since I'm challenged at succinctness, myself). It should have made the top-50 (wish I'd seen it, but I was offline most of this day)!



RT @AaronLivingston The precocious bird gets the worm and classifies it by phylum. #artwiculate #salonartwois

✏ As I commented, later, to Aaron - I loved the Wordy Birdie sort of topic of this tweet. A delight in it's clever twist on the now well-established 'early bird' theme, amongst the Artwiculati, this tweet just makes you smile all-round ...which is why Aaron got a very well-deserved win with it, for the day. (Congrats, again, Aaron!)

Disheveled

Disheveled: (adj) : untidy or unkempt; messy

Time to tidy up the nest ~ To that state of disheveled-ness that's best!
['True-story' tweet. I needed to do some chores around the house; but most nests are best when they're not overly-tidied, ya know? ...warmer, & more cozy/lived-in.]

Whew de Persiflage - New cologne guaranteed to lighten up the most disheveled gentleman. (MT @kings_indian)

[This was an MT of what turned out to be the winning tweet of the day! Mine, as you can see, was a poor pauper of a royal tweet. lol]

Original:
RT @kings_indian The discerning gentleman's cologne of choice - eau de persiflage

...& my Congrats-tweet:

Kudos 2 our ♛Persiflage King ofKings, Ram (@kings_indian) - whose creation of a new lighthearted cologne 4men redolently captured the crown.

#EarthHour : A good excuse for having a darkly-disheveled dalliance. ;) #artwiculate
[This was a tie-in to the @earthhour global event (www.earthhour.org) ...& also a tie-in to @ultracutebot's tweetsmut facinations (of which mine are usually on the tame/euphemistic side). lol]


35 Points
Saturday. Slept in. ~ Delightfully disheveled. ~ Lovely listlessness. #haiku
[I'm fond of the alliterative-groupings in this haiku. It was also inspired by a true-to-life sleep-in (in fact, I still felt too much lassitude to tweet much more than that, for some time lol).

Persiflage - Playful Banter &/or Tweet-Floggings ;0)

Persiflage:

°Good-natured banter; raillery.

°Frivolous, lighthearted discussion of a topic.
26 March 2010


Ha! This was a fun one. ... Perhaps a wee bit TOO fun! ;)

I don't know what got into me (*mischievous eye-twinkle*), but I decided to have a little lighthearted fun to the extreme, with this WOTD (word of the day). Since 'persiflage' was a synonym of 'raillery' - a previous Artwiculate WOTD - I decided to recycle/modify/MT some of the top 'raillery' tweets as some 'persiflage' entries.

Call it a social/psychological experiment or call it an artwiculate points-test or call it a flippantly-wicked (*evil-li'l-chirpy-chuckle*) incitement of banter &/or riot-of-raillery. The latter is probably most-accurate, as I was confident that the Artwiculati would quickly catch on to my little game.

Sure 'nuff, word quickly got out to @routermonkey about my (MT-@-less) 'recycling' of his tweet.

Here's his original 'raillery' tweet:

RT @routermonkey Bob's schizophrenia was mild - the voices in his head only engaged in raillery.

...and here's my MT (i.e. "modified tweet") WOTD entry of it:

34 Points

Sam's schizophrenia was mild: the voices in his head only engaged in persiflage.

[Granted, not modified much (maybe 10% or so?) ...tho, I must say I much-prefer the alliterative quality which the name Sam added to it, tho *evil-giggle*.]

Here's Monkey's response to my uber-persiflage play:

RT @routermonkey Hey @twordbird, not cool recycling my raillery tweet for persiflage today. #artwiculate

[Which, BTW, was RT'd by @SJHatzi ~7 min later. ;)]

...to which I responded w/the following 2 tweets:

@tWordBird: Just trying 2 incite some persiflage, @routermonkey …tho your "not cool" seems decidedly lacking in "lighthearted banter." Hmm

[Well, it was - totally lacking in the good-natured humor/wit portion of the definition, I'd say. Hmph.]

@tWordBird: I promise to recycle your crown for you, should my persiflage-MT of your schizophrenic raillery win, @routermonkey. ;)

[Think anyone's lightening up enough to flip(-pantly) me the Birdie, yet?! *evil chirp* lol]


So ...oh what a tangled web we weave ...when first we practice to mess w/the artwiculati's original tweets (& their/our associated egos?)! ;) Can we say 'taboo' (what was that taboo-related word we had, recently ...I can't think of it, now ...oh well)??


While I didn't hear back from @routermonkey, I DID get an earful (do birds have ears? lol) from @ultracutebot:

RT @ultracutebot @tWordBird since when did inciting persiflage become the trojan horse for recycling others' tweets without crediting them? cc: @routermonkey

[UH-oh. YIKES! "Trojan horse"? Seriously??]

So, I replied:

@tWordBird: .@ultracutebot Now, who said I was never going to credit the dear monkey?! Wow. (…&, TODAY, since it's the WOTD). cc: @routermonkey

[I realize I likely worded my response tot the "when" question poorly, since I don't at ALL see this as some sort of subversive warlike move to attempt to win w/someone else's tweet (rather, I was trying to refer to the 'lighten UP' aspects of the WOTD's playful definition). My theory was/is, actually, that points-giving can be highly-capricious; & my expectations were that my MT's/recyclings would not receive near as many points/RT's, when I tweeted them (different day, different tweeter, slightly different modifications, & a host of other variables).]


My plan, from the beginning of this (though not at all as thoroughly thought-out as this blog-post sounds, granted - after the fact) had been to allow the recyclings-/MT's & (especially) their original authors/tweets to be brought out by the artwiculati &/or to reveal them afterwards, if need be.


I followed that response with another 'lighthearted banter' tweet ...this time formed as an Artwiculate entry:

@tWordBird: Some people can become very piqued at playful persiflage!!

...to which dear Cutie-Bot replied:

RT @ultracutebot some people can be very flippant about others' intellectual property while hiding behind the guise of playful persiflage

[Ohhh dear! The artwiculati circuitry (i.e. of routers & bots) seemed to be shorting out all over the place! ;) So much for that 'lighthearted playfulness' part of persiflage! ...in fact that was what I'd tweeted, after QTBot's "some people" tweet:

tWordBird: Yikes - sounds like @ultracutebot's circuits are about to blow a fuse! Somebody throw some coolant her way!

Actually, QTbot's last tweet, there, also brought to mind the whole "intellectual property" reality, when it comes to tweets (especially) & other posted materials ...of which I'd run across some interesting info recently. So, I've looked up another one (I had also RT'd one, not too long ago, but I'm not sure where that one is, at the moment) - here's that link, if anyone's interested:

http://canyoucopyrightatweet.com/

...and speaking of this-all, on a related note of interest, I believe that many/most of these games (Artwiculate-included) have things in their terms & conditions which state that our creations - once posted on their websites - are considered to be non-confidential and non-proprietary & that they're free to use/distribute/profit from it however they may choose (which I must admit that I personally find a bit disconcerting, in a way - I don't know).


Anywho... if you're wondering how things ended up w/the schizophrenia tweet: I never heard back from Router Monkey; ultracutebot included me in a #FollowFriday tweet the next day (which is a recommendation to others to follow me, for anyone who's not Twitter-fluent out there) ...although, I had to wonder, briefly, if that might be an #ff-you or something LOL; &, as you can see, my MT'd tweet didn't garner anywhere near winning points (or even top-50-board worthy - the lowest scores that made it were a point above that); & my MT'd tweet of my OWN previous top-50 'raillery' tweet about mockingbirds made it into the top-20.


So, on to the rest of the logue-roll for the blog.

Here are the rest of my MT'd tweets for the day - along w/their original tweet-inspirations:

[This one seemed to be popular ...as the Artwiculati's goldfish are, also ...& it is also rather reminiscent of @MarcosArroyos' macabre tweets. LOL Plus, tweeps found the li'l text-goldfish symbols appealing (I do, too - glad I remembered those).]

RT @JonPowles No man is an island, but sometimes I resemble an archipelago

RT @celticgladiator No man is an archipelago

Brogue? THANK YOU, @artwiculate!☺ Top 'o the mornin' to ya (…& the rest of the day t' myself)! ♣ ♣ ♣

Brogue: (n) : Gaelic term for a strong dialectal accent. In Ireland it used to be a term for Erse spoken with a strong English accent, but gradually changed to mean English spoken with a strong Irish accent as English control of Ireland gradually increased and Erse waned as the standard language; a strong oxford shoe, usually with ornamental perforations and wing tips

Languor

Languor! Yes, I remember languor!

I snuck in ONE small-but-potent tweet within a way-too-busy day (in which I was, idoneously, languorous)...

...&, in my haste ...misspelled "langour"! :(

Ah, well. lol

Parsimonious

I'm too parsimonious to spend the time posting my cheap tweets, here.

Either that, or they've disappeared from my Artwiculate page, too.;)

Perhaps if I were more parsimonious about my number of tweets-per-day?

Yesternight

Crud, what DID I tweet, yesternight? I can't recall, & it's now too long ago to still be on my Artwiculate page. lol

Robin, try to avoid pandiculation while in your superhero suit - it always ends up being either unseemly or seam-popping!

Pandiculation? EeeeeeaAAAaaaaaaaaahhhh-crick-crack-crack! (Ah, that's better. Thank you, @artwiculate!)


20 Points
Too many tweets! Twitter is currently practicing its' pandiculation. Please wait a moment & try again. #FailWhale


26 Points
Would it be a pandiculation to say that @artwiculate is still half-asleep (it seems they didn't zealously tweet the winners, yesterday)?


20 Points
I prefer to perspicaciously peruse Pink Panther's pandiculation - it's particularly pulchritudinous.

Pandiculation °A stretching and stiffening of the trunk and extremities, as when fatigued and drowsy or on waking, often accompanied by yawning.

Surreptitiously

Yep, you get the picture: My WOTD tweets for this day have also surreptitiously disappeared from my Artwiculate profile. :(

Gesticulate

Well, crud *insert wild gesticulations, here* - my 'gesticulate'-tions have also disappeared.

Perhaps I'll insert them from my twitter-stream at a later date.

Odious

Hmm - how odious: With my delay in posting my WOTD tweets from the last several days, 'odious' has already disappeared from my Artwiculate user-page. :(

Idoneous

Mouth an open 'O' ~ It would be idoneous ~ To bid you adieu! #Goodnight #haiku #artwiculate

Would a fleet tweet be idoneous for a laxative effect, or just erroneous? #jokes #artwiculate

It would be idoneous to blame my outlandish tweets on Artwiculate (…& my twisted mind).

Is this tweet idoneous, or does it make my butt look big? ;)

Her mellifluous peals of laughter may have been more idoneous had they not echoed off the rafters of the cathedral at the pope's funeral.

34 Points

It's not idoneous 2 use 'idoneous' instead of 'appropriate' when 'appropriate' is more idoneous because 'idoneous' is unknown.

22 Points

When one mentions @MaxRaunchiness, it's really redundant to add the fact that he is not idoneous.

Oh, now I'M responsible 4 your cracks? That's not idoneous! RT @StarOfSavannah @tWordBird LOL! You crack me up, Birdie! Thank you for that.

Okay, So That Settles It (For Now, Anyway)

Okay, so that's what I'll do for now, I've decided (post blog-postings to record my previous days' WOTD entries on Artwiculate) - since Artwiculate's WOTD tweets-record only goes back for a limited number of entries, right (if I'm wrong, & there's some way to access those (beyond everyone's top-50's for previous days/words) please let me know, someone!

Symbiotic Logorrhea Expialadocious

Just opened this blog for when I get logorrhea whilst tweeting. I figured this would be a good symbiosis, no? ;) Plus, Salon Artwois offered the opportunity, & all.)

I currently, however, have NO idea what I'll post in here (if anything). I suppose I could use it to record my Artwiculate submissions so that they don't get lost within a stream of tweets which require endless scrolling to find? Hmm.

Okay, now that I've stated how wordy & logorrhific I am, I've run out of things to say; so aurevoir.
