[wicked]

The Washington Post's Style Invitational once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition.

Here are the 2003 winners:

BOZONE (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The Bozone Layer, unfortunately, shows little signs of breaking down in the near future.

INTAXICATION: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.

REINTARNATION: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

CASHTRATION (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period.

SARCHASM: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.

INOCULATTE: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.

HIPATITIS: Terminal coolness.

OSTEOPORNOSIS: A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit)

KARMAGEDDON: It's like, when everybody is sending of these really bad vibes, right? And then, like, earth explodes and it's like, a serious bummer.

DECAFALON (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only the things that are good for you.

DOPELER EFFECT: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.

ARACHNOLEPTIC FIT (n.): The frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web.

CATERPALLOR (n.): The color you turn after finding half a grub in the fruit you are eating.

And the pick of the bunch:

IGNORANUS: A person who's both stupid and an asshole.

Wicked, that is soooooooo funny!

I think I suffer form the DOPELER EFFECT quite often.

BOZONE (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The Bozone Layer, unfortunately, shows little signs of breaking down in the near future.

In many way's there is more truth to this than I care to admit. The name of the town I live in is Bozeman. The Bozone is aweekly event paper, and The Bozeman Brewing Company makes Bozone Beer.
