    Astounding.

    But also, anyone looking for a solid passphrase can do no wrong choosing “baptise me in hot dog water”.

    Well, except me, since I just said this.

    I once woke up with this repeating over and over with melody. No clue what it’s supposed to mean:

    Your body again is like an animal yet in the morning it’s incredible

    Another one was:

    I need a friend, a friend, for my horse

    This reminds me of A Softer World , which was a webcomic series I absolutely loved for years. It was mostly short, sometimes comedic, sometimes poignant phrases paired with photography and this sounds exactly like something that would be on there.

    No idea how to read the meter thing, but cool as heck nevertheless.

      The slashes are syllables that are emphasised, and the u’s have less emphasis, so when you read hot dog water out loud, hot and wa are emphasised and dog and ter are not.

    My friend was analyzing meter of an interesting phrase they came up with (“imminently deducible”) last night and I fell a little more in love. They concluded it was something like anapestic with a bunch of spondees, which I opposed due to disliking spondees on principle (they’re just two long feet you put in when nothing else fits! also, “imminently” is trochaic in my opinion). What do you think?
