Fulldeckisms
CANONICAL LIST OF FULLDECKISMS (As in, “He’s not playing with a full deck.”) http://herbison.com/canon/ Maintained by Alan Silverstein, [email protected] Last update: 2003.06.11 Total entries: 1488 A compendium of insults and “not all there” comments from various sources, beginning with rec.humor, April 1987. Criteria: Humorousness; completeness; uniqueness of essence (minimize redundancy); brevity; consistency; avoid gender bias, ethnic slurs, and other really offensive material; keep in sorted order with correct spelling and grammar. Comment from the editor: I am astonished there are so many creative ways to insult people, and that the list CONTINUES to grow well past 1000 entries as contributions arrive daily. There’s more than enough pain in the world already, so I have a nagging concern that it’s ultimately nasty and unhealthy to build a list like this, even though many of the entries are hilarious. I hope and trust that you will enjoy this humor without it having to be at the expense of any one person in particular... It would sadden me to discover that anyone delivered these insults to specific individuals, whether or not deserved, thereby turning the fun sour. A hemorrhoid on the face of the world. “And Abraham did look at her as though she were several saddle bags short of a camel load.” A hop, skip, and jump from success, but to get there he’d have to give up chewing gum. “Duh!” on parade. A kangaroo loose in her top paddock. A lap behind the field. $HOME = /dev/null. 3K RAM free, no EMS. -

Criminal Procedure, the Police, and The Wire as Dissent Bennett Caperst The Wire is rich with metaphors. There is the physical wire in the opening credits, a metaphor for surveillance more generally. There is the metaphor of the wire in the sense of a modern tightrope-another filmic work, Man on a Wire,1 comes to mind-where any minute one can lose one's balance. There is even the metaphor of the wire in the 2 sense that the criminal justice system is all connected or networked.
