Is it May?

Is it May? That kind of sneaked up on me....

Dream Snippet: Blair's Net

I was doing an expirament with wood thickness, density and boyancy.... but PoliSci Professors kept interrupting me to ask about my research. The expirament was for the first chapter of the financial advise book I was authoring. Too many of my friends had declaired bankrupcy, so I decided to write a book to impart monetary wisdom. I was going to start with the wood expirament and then demonstrate how that's a metaphor for my saving guide.

Wendy R. told me the book reminded her of Blair's Net, a finance book her brother wrote. I told her that book was my inspiration and asked her how he came up with the title. It turns out the author's real name is Mr. Blairsnet.

Informed by the web, we note:

Define "declaire bankruptcy": A contemptible state of deprivation in which gooey chocolate filled pastries can no longer be afforded (fr: d'eclair, of or related to: éclair (pâtisserie à la crème))

Define "expirament": In witchcraft "SPIRAMENT: Subtle energy or cosmic breath also known as Ond, Vril or Odyle.", hence in combination with "ex-" an undertaking to suck the very life out of something without completely killing it (compare with "expireament"). As an example, merely reading, let alone writing, books that advise how to lead a financially vibrant life become, for the author and reader, expiraments.

In some critical circles, textbooks in general are thought to be expiraments, of which PoliSci texts are merely instances.
