Fw: [Fictionary] Jack Jamb Jaseran - Armored, Opalescent, Aromatic, Pr otective, Smoky, Seated, and Noisy

[lindafowens at netzero.net]

Hey, guys, I am Linda Owens--someone misspelled that as LInda Ward in one place, but you probably had too much jacked stuff.  I have a lousy keyboard now, so I forgive you.  Anyway, there are special stones that are used to keep rats out of corn cribs or other buildings in England's Cotswolds--they are half-round and are called saddle stones. I bought a mini one when visiting friends there.   Linda Owens

There are definitely times when certain people really just shouldn't bother getting out of bed. I coulda swore I had prepared this and sent it off last week, but I can't find the file and I definitely DIDN'T send anything.

Anyway, the real definition won, so I'll just pick another ... [shut him up / drag 'em off stage / get a rope!] or perhaps not :-D

In reality, we have a tie for the lead between David Randall and J-J Cote. However, David's stuffed the ballot box with his "Inspirational Poem" included below, so I declare David Randall the winner.

Linda's note echoes my opinion. Eric's "power noise" from "the California proto-punk movement" is without a doubt one of the most original fictionitions we've had in a long time! Kudos, sir!!!

fictioneric, 2 ("Well, that's a real definition of 'jack', one I deliberately steered clear of because I thought it was one of the known ones we were supposed to ignore. So unless someone's being sneaky, these are the real defs. I won't vote for them, since knowing one seems like cheating." Ed. Note: This was definitely NOT one of the 'known' definitions to ignore; although he disclaimed it because of 'knowing' [one of] the correct definitions, I gave it to him as a correct guess anyway.)

jack - v - [fr. Malay] - to dive for pearls
jamb - n - [fr. Malay] - a black pearl
jaseran - n - [fr. Malay] a pearl thief

Nicholas Ward, 1 ("1 point for believable transliteration")

jack - n - a special type of incense used at certain Indian wedding festivals. Jack is slang for many different varieties, but usually flowery and spicy, not intoxicating.

jack - n - A cigarette rolled in birchbark.
jamb - v - To soak a cigar in dilute ether in order to tighten the wrapper.
jaseran - n - A humidor with a clockwork mechanism to slowly roll the cigars
by Jean-Joseph Cote -- 5 (including 2 point correct guess)
Nicholas Ward, 2 ("2 points for medieval simplicity")
fictioneric, 1 ("One point because I like my cigarettes jambed. Aficionados use a jaseran to evenly distribute the ether in newly-jambed cigars; the traditional clockwork device was used to prevent the danger of fire from sparking in ether vapor, attendant upon the use of early electric motors. Nowadays, cheap battery-powered jaserans are used by hoi polloi.")

jack - n - The inner bark layers of a Stone pine (Pinus pinea).
jamb - n - The outer bark layers of a Stone pine (Pinus pinea).
jaseran - n - A style of chair popular in Moorish Spain whose seat is formed from overlapping jack and jamb.

jack - n - Genre of power noise music developed in the 1970s as an outgrowth of the California proto-punk movement.
jamb - n - A breadboarded RC (resistive-capacitative) unit used to customize or distort the sound of early Ampex multitrack recorders, repopularized in the retro-noise esthetic of the 1990s.
Jaseran -  - styled lowercase jaseran: Mononym of keyboardist and recording engineer Jason Emkanian, best known for his avant-garde and noise rock work at Grey-Grey-Grey recording studio in Modesto, California, circa  1995-2005.

An Inspirational Poem
by David Randall

Jack found himself in a terrible Jamb,
Helpless before the Iamb that Iamb;
"Jaseran!" swore he. "By Jimbo! By Gee!
Jumpin' Jehosophat! Fiddle-dee-dee!"
But swearing was futile, and finally Jack
Was et by the Iamb, with Jamb, for a snack.

[Ed. Note: When I got it, I thought that some/all of the "Iamb"s (capital "i") were "lambs" (lower-case "L"). The picture of Jack being eaten by a baby sheep had me giggling uncontrollably for quite a while!)
