I make obscure connections; it's my thing. For example, I have a friend named Jordan Gay (true story). With a quick switch-a-roo, he becomes Gordon Jay, or Gordon for short. Morph the pronunciation just a little and it becomes Gordone (like 'gourd-own'). Draw from 2002's box office smash, Joshua, and you'll recall a Father Tardone (like 'tord-own'). Hit blend, and from "Jordan Gay" you now have "Father Gordone." Obscure connections.
One of my other connections backfired on me yesterday. From literary figures like Shakespeare and Patty V, I'm familiar with the saying, "Huzzah!!" I understand it to be a general exclamation, usually coupled with a fist pump.
At some point in time, I decided to make an obscure connection between this saying and a 1996 Shaquille O'Neal movie. My thought was something like this: Whenever I write out the word "Huzzah," I can replace the "K" in the movie's title with an "H" but keep the rest of the word spelled the same. You know, like "HAZAA" That'll be a funny connection.
I'm not sure exactly when I got the movie title twisted, but for those who don't know what I'm talking about, the movie is actually called Kazaam...not Kazaa.
It wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't been writing my asinine term everywhere I had the chance. This is worse than when I confused a movie title for a word that didn't exist, then made an obscure...wait.
Live on, Blahg-lievers. I'm going to go wash my memory out with soap.

Just imagine it, my friend. You could have committed your faux pas on a small stage like the NY Times or "60 Minutes". Instead, you fouled it up on the largest stage possible, my blog.
