Fake antithesis

Building on yesterday’s post, what about the following figure?

The supporting actor let me down

There’s an antithesis on the figurative plane (’supportive’, ‘let down’), but not on the thematic plane (disappointing actor).

Thus, there’s also an antithesis of sorts between the two planes, and a certain symmetry to the figure.

Nueva figura lógica

Para completar el oxímoron, cohabitación, paradoja y antítesis, necesitamos una figura de falsa antítesis, esto es, dos conceptos que fintan un choque, pero en el último momento se apartan. Por ejemplo:

El actor de reparto acaparó todos los premios.

Insomniac

Although the diagnosis wasn’t obvious for a long time, it seems that insomnia was what kept me from finding the woman of my dreams.

Nowhere is now here

Searching for the nowhere domain, it turns out that www.nowhere.com points to www.NowHere.de.

Sweeping statements

It’s very difficult to criticise sweeping statements.

Tiger hits a birdie

Tiger Woods announced today that he is taking an indefinite break from golf to ‘focus [his] attention on being a better husband, father, and person’.

So was his wife upset because he was spending too much time away from home playing golf?

Como su propio nombre indica

El País nos cuenta en su artículo “La hora del ‘orgullo gordo’”, que la autora del libro “Salud en todas las tallas”, que dice que ‘hay que combatir mitos como el de que no se puede estar saludable siendo gordo’, se llama Dra. Bacon.

<3

Today I learned that  “<3″ means “love” because it looks like a heart if you tilt your head to the right.

What a relief. I was tilting my head to the left as with most emoticons, and I thought it meant “penis and testicles”.

Now all those emails and blog posts make a lot more sense!

Llanito poem

She cried a river till
desembocar en la boca
