a dog ran in front of my car

When a law enforcement officer is transporting a total A-hole prisoner in the back of his/her patrol car and they hit the brakes suddenly, causing the prisoner to smack his face on the cage/screen.

Suspect: “That’s police brutality!” Officer: “Sorry about that! A dog ran in front of my car..." 😂

strange loop

A strange loop is a cyclic structure that goes through several levels in a hierarchical system. It arises when, by moving only upwards or downwards through the system, one finds oneself back where one started. A strange loop is a hierarchy of levels, each of which is linked to at least one other by some type of relationship. A strange loop hierarchy is "tangled" in that there is no well defined highest or lowest level; moving through the levels, one eventually returns to the starting point, i.e., the original level. Strange loops may involve self reference or paradox.

“An example of a strange loop would be the Canon 5. a 2 from Bach's Musical Offering, which is a musical piece that continues to rise in key, modulating through the entire chromatic scale until it ends in the same key in which it began.“

ganser syndrome

Ganser syndrome is a rare dissociative disorder characterized by nonsensical or wrong answers to questions and other dissociative symptoms such as fugue, amnesia or conversion disorder, often with visual pseudo-hallucinations and a decreased state of consciousness. The syndrome has also been called nonsense syndrome, balderdash syndrome, syndrome of approximate answers, hysterical pseudodementia or prison psychosis. The term prison psychosis is sometimes used because the syndrome occurs most frequently in prison inmates, where it may be seen as an attempt to gain leniency from prison or court officials. Psychological symptoms generally resemble the patient's sense of mental illness rather than any recognized category. The syndrome may occur in persons with other mental disorders such as schizophrenia, depressive disorders, toxic states, paresis, alcohol use disorders and factitious disorders. Ganser syndrome can sometimes be diagnosed as merely malingering, but it is more often defined as dissociative disorder.

“Ganser syndrome is described as a Dissociative Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (NOS) in the DSM-IV, and is not currently listed in the DSM-V. It is a rare and an often overlooked clinical phenomenon. In most cases, it is preceded by extreme stress and followed by amnesia for the period of psychosis. In addition to approximate answers, other symptoms include a clouding of consciousness, somatic conversion disorder symptoms, confusion, stress, loss of personal identity, echolalia, and echopraxia.”

Meow! Polo!

Meow! Polo! - this is an adorable and friendly game that can be played between a cat and it’s human. Very similar to the participation in the Marco Polo threshold, but since a cat can’t say, “Marco!”, “Meow!” will have to suffice. In response to the “Meow!”, (Marco) from the cat, it’s human should then say, “Polo!” The game ends when the losing opponent stops responding in return.

I decided to start a game of Meow! Polo! when my cat Snee - Ki, started to have a separation/anxiety attack when she couldn’t find me. In response to her exclaiming “Meow!, I would then answer back by saying,”Polo!”

sabrotage

The enactment of sabering (removing a cork from a bottle of champagne) using a saber or champagne sword is called sabrage. If the champagne bottle is broken, shatters, or explodes during this process, it can be said that it has run afoul of sabrotage. This is a portmanteau of the words sabotage and sabrage.

So while you sit back and your wondering why,
I got these shards of glass stuck in my eyes, “Surprise!”
Oh my god, it's a bloody mirage,
I'm tellin' y'all, it's sabrotage!
