The popularity of fantasy football is reaching legendary proportions. Participants of fantasy football draft their own team, competing with teams assembled by other football fans. Most scoring is based on points accumulated by athletes in their real-life performance in a same-day game, but scoring methods vary among different fantasy football leagues. Fantasy pertains to the imagination, the conceiving of the surreal. Here are my picks. Definition/explanation of “fantasy football” is author’s own.
Literally Speaking and Literally Speaking Too are books which consist of a total of 200 artistic depictions of clichés (expressions we’ve used so much that we take the meaning for granted), idioms (vernacular particular to a geographical region), plays on homophones (using identically-sounding words for their alternate meanings), and/or use of terms ironically (to express something other than the literal meaning). The website address is at least a quadruple pun (GetLiterallySpeaking.org): you get it (gain control of the book by picking it up), you get it (you understand it!), you get it (you buy it) and you get literally speaking (as in, you start doing it!). The website is designed for an ongoing exploration of language and a really good time. |
