The Washington Post's Mensa Invitational once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing of one letter, and supply a new definition. Here are this year's {2005} winners:
Karl and Russel, please pay particular attention to #5
1. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period.
2. Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole.
3. Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.
4. Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.
5. Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.
6. Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.
7. Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.
8. Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.
9. Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.
10. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.
11. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)
12. Karmageddon: It's like, when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it's like, a serious bummer.
13. Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.
14. Glibido: All talk and no action.
15. Dopeler effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.
16. Arachnoleptic fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web.
17. Beelzebug (n.): Satan in the form of a mosquito, that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.
18. Caterpallor (n.): The color you turn after finding half a worm in the fruit you're eating.
Now Karl and Russel, you know I'm just funnin you...After all, I've been Reintarnated....

At this time of year, this is my favorite...I will use it on the old lady when she thinks she's hit the jackpot again... :-) She's so unaccustomed to gettin her own money back, she loses control!
Because of our last Democratic two-time President, we've allways had to write a check and pay more...

After a bad night with a Beelzebug, I got up to Inoculatte and start another Decafalon. Feeling like I was suffering from Reintarnation, and thinking I was facing another Karmageddon kind of day, I had an Arachnoleptic fit on the way out to my mailbox. Opening my mail I immediately began suffering from Intaxication with the knowledge I could now fund my Cashtration. Contacting the Ignoranus seller I realized my Hipatitis was not working and the Bozone levels were high. So I tried a little Foreploy using my many talents in Osteopornosis on her. She turned Caterpallor in anger as she responded with a Dopeler effect of Glibido. I knew I should have paid more attention to the Sarchasm in the Giraffiti.
