Comment by Mail Art Martha on August 14, 2019 at 6:36am: I found this in the depths of my computer, just by chance. something I made as a greeting card

Comment by Carmen Kennedy on August 13, 2019 at 8:29pm: Niceee, Martha! (Smile)

Comment by Mail Art Martha on August 13, 2019 at 5:37am: Zalop Carmen1I think it looks like a roach eating cheese.

Comment by Carmen Kennedy on August 12, 2019 at 7:46pm: Mail Art Martha, that is some Abstrocity. Love all of it. The shapes, colors, and lines form a wonderfully playful composition. Well done, you.

Comment by Mail Art Martha on August 12, 2019 at 6:28pm: I think I invented the word 'abstrocities' to describe my latest art efforts. It is a pormanteau word as defined by Humpty Dumpty, an authority in the use of English. The word 'slithy' for example is made of two words; lythe and slimy. (The Jabbewocky, Through the Looking-Glass, L.Carrol. op.cit.)

Abstrocity is made of abstract and atrocity. Here is one of them.

Comment by Carmen Kennedy on August 12, 2019 at 3:50pm: That commercial is hilarious! Zalop, never heard of it until now. Much better to cuss when in pain. Ha!

Comment by Mary Anne on August 11, 2019 at 8:54pm: yes indeedy - zalopisms everywhere!

Nice to know that someone remembers the glories of fluxus - it seems all but lost on IUOMA

Comment by Mail Art Martha on August 11, 2019 at 7:40pm: I think you meant swearing not searing, or is that a zalopism?

I did try to find some of the things that were written then but they have disappered.

Comment by Mary Anne on August 11, 2019 at 9:36am: It wasn't the searing that reminded me; it was the people sitting round a table 'inventing' daft new words.

Comment by Mail Art Martha on August 11, 2019 at 8:36am: By the way it is true that swearing aleviates pain but also does practising mantra meditation, all scientifically proven of course, by Zalop!
