I amuse myself greatly.

The OED word of the Day is: narcokleptocracy, n

That's right -- nark-co-lept-toe-crassy.

Apparently it's British in origin and means An elite or dominant group of people whose wealth derives from the trade in illegal drugs and other organized criminal activities; a government dominated by such a group. Cf. NARCOCRACY n. 2.

According to 1981 Newsweek 23 Nov. 79/1 Together they form what one diplomat calls a ‘narcokleptocracy’ reaping a fortune from cocaine and other contraband.

Now why, you ask, does hackthis find this so amusing? Well, let's think about it.

1. 'Narco' can mean narcoleptic, i.e falling asleep randomly, but it can also refer to 'narcotic', meaning drugs, the ATF, S.W.A.T., jailtime and all kinds of bad shit.

2. 'Klepto' generally means someone who likes to take things that doesn't belong to them.

3. '-cracy' generally refers to a form of government like democracy, theocracy, some other 'ocracy.'

4. When you put this together, you get drug dealers who steal stuff, run a country and are likely to fall asleep on the job.

5. This sounds very Ocean's 11 to me.

6. It's either that or write about the government.

In other news, did you guys know that there's boy-kissing in Jeff Buckley's video for Last Goodbye? At least I think it's boy kissing. Obviously I will have to look again (for like the twenty-third time). Please excuse the prattling, part of my 1000th man verse file has locked me out, and I'm trying to keep from having a rage blackout. I think I have to write porn or something.

Does anybody know how to insert a tab in a post? Please help. :)

I think there needs to be O11 fic with that word in it. *nods*

I would have no problem reading porn. *just being helpful* writing it is very cathartic after all.

especially narcoleptic porn. Which for some reason just amuses the heck out of me. I blame My Own Private Idaho.

especially narcoleptic porn.

I think you have discovered a heretofor undiscovered kink. Oh daer.

Nacoleptic Porn? Oooooooh. o__0

A tab? Like 5 spaces? I think you could do it manually with the html space code

& n b s p ;

Except, no spaces between that, and copy that as many times as you desire spaces.

Or alternatively, if you have a whole paragraph you wanted indented, you could use the < u l > tag and close it with < / u l >

Your icon cracks me up. Also? Thank you :)

[tigress35.livejournal.com]

Had to make an Alias icon. I caved. And no problem!

[hobbit-feet.livejournal.com]

I think that's my new favorite word.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Isn't it fantastic?

I'm almost scared to say it, but these sound like my perfect people. I wonder, are they available mail order?

But if you crossed My own private Idaho with Oceans 11 you'd get drug dealers with a brain disorder that made them fall asleep in a narcoleptocleptocracy.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

If I find them in the backpages of a magazine, I'll tell you immediately.

*imagines the ad in Soldier of Fortune*

*busts out laughing*


Really, combine these guys with O11 and the A-Team and you've got one hell of a beautiful, cracked-out cross over. And add Turkish in there for some sort of prospective...and for the booty factor.

I read the def. and thought "that sounds very Ocean's". And then you said it. *g*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

It does, really, doesn't it?

[silverakira.livejournal.com]

1. I have so much love for your brain. Yis.

2. There is boy-kissing in Last Goodbye? OMG. [searches]

3. I have finally acquired Ocean's 11 and shall watch at an appropriate time.

4. The only way I know how to insert a tab in html is by using the methods described by tigress35. :(

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

1. :D

2. Dude. I rewound like eight times, just to, you know, check. It's really brief at the beginning. Unless I was really that drunk.

3. You're an Ocean virgin?! OMGWTFEEE!!!!

*snort*

You can't buy entertainment like this.
