BBC Online has a fine feature called The Day in Pictures, which today yielded A competitor in the World Bog Snorkelling Championships in Llanwrtyd Wells, Wales emerges from the water.
The nervous, fidgety part of my brain that’s still a hyperactive ten-year-old amped on heavily sweetened breakfast cereal and Tom and Jerry cartoons seized on this picture and caption like a GOP delegate who’s gotten his first taste of hotel cable porn:
• People go bog snorkeling?
• That is so cool!
• There’s a World Championship?
• Who wins, the person who sees the least?
• Are there bumper stickers: Snorkel Wales?
• Is this a mental condition caused by vowel deficiency?
• That is so cool!

I just heard something about bog snorkeling on NPR yesterday, possibly as part of the BBC News. Those wacky Welsh!

Bog snorkeling. Championships. The mind reels.

Bog snorkling sounds like one of those regrettable metaphors for hot boy-boy sex.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Good Lord, I hadn’t noticed that at all.
Good eye, good ear, whatever it took. 🙂

Yeah, this is why no one drinks from open containers in your house. I’m sure Billy will be deeply impressed with your insight into gay culture.

Uh-huh. It was one of those sentences that you take in and then your cortex spits it back out a half-second later, like a canny trout with a $3 spinner.

That Charles is the Prince of Wales begins to make a lot more sense, doesn’t it?

Thank you. I’m still chuckling about it.

Okay, you’re rife with the great metaphors today.
Me, I never metaphor I didn’t like.
kthxbye

Yeah, I’m sick with similes. It’s like linguistic malaria: it comes and goes, accompanied by chills and fever.

PS—Spoke to Bill; he was floored. He promises to post a technical description of Bog Snorkeling here soon. Not for the faint of heart, I’m thinking.

Tell him he needn’t bother. Really, he needn’t.
