    [crappy story from another time and place]
    16. once, while working on a science lesson dealing with classification, i'd been up for too many hours. then i wrote one hella crappy story and posted it here. fortunately, i was able to replace it with two hella crappy story and a disturbing image. "why not try doing some work?" was the key phrase in the first story and so it should be here as well. there was also some commenting on fortune cookies and horoscopes. in fact, this story is turning out to be pretty much like that other one except less so. there's a sculpture in the basement by a relatively successful artist. by that i mean one that has had several solo shows over a span of so many years and has been written about in the national art press. i took it from her trash. it was trash and to some degree still is. it's in very bad condition, but it's fun to look at when i'm down there sitting atop a pile of other trash. treasures and trash. that's what it's all about, right? or is it all about those fried pickles that were ordered last mother's day? one small batch of fried pickles between a large tableful of starving celebrants. ta-open syllable;ble-consonant le syllable;ful-suffix. take that you red-lined seers of the cyberspelldom. you think you're so big. not everyone gets the chance to nurse their young in the fashion that you feel so comforting. it goes without saying that i received a failing grade that quarter. even the word trigonometry i don't understand much less the content. and they say they want it when? why would anyone say that much less write it. now it makes sense that it's kept in the basement.

    this is awful.
    awe(c.1200, from O.N. agi "fright," from P.Gmc. *agiz- (cf. O.E. ege "fear," O.H.G. agiso "fright, terror," Goth. agis "fear, anguish"), from PIE *agh-es- (cf. Gk. akhos "pain, grief"), from base *agh- "to be depressed, be afraid" (see ail). Current sense of "dread mixed with veneration" is due to biblical use with ref. to the Supreme Being. The verb is first attested c.1300. Awe-inspiring is recorded from 1814.)
    + the suffix -ful(O.E. -full, -ful, from suffix use of full (adj.).
    full (adj.) O.E. full "completely, full, perfect, entire, utter," from P.Gmc. *fullaz (cf. O.S. full, O.Fris. ful, O.N. fullr, O.H.G. fol, Ger. voll, Goth. fulls), from PIE *pele- "to fill" (see plenary). Adverbial sense was common in M.E. (full well, full many, etc.). Related: Fuller; fullest. Full moon was O.E. fulles monan; first record of full-blood in relation to racial purity is from 1812. Full house is 1710 in the theatrical sense, 1887 in the poker sense.)

    and-
    full (v.) "to tread or beat cloth to cleanse or thicken it," late 14c., from O.Fr. fouler, from L. fullo (see foil (v.)); O.E. had the agent-noun fullere, probably directly from L. fullo.
