George Hrab | ||||
Multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, producer, composer and heliocentrist George Hrab has written and produced 5 independent CDs; performed for President Clinton; shared the stage with Elton John, Bernie Worrell, (and many others); and has traveled across the country both as a drummer for the nationally-recognized Philadelphia Funk Authority and as defacto President for Life of The Geologic Orchestra. Humbly following in the footsteps of such icons as Frank Zappa, Mark Twain, Carl Sagan, Will Rogers and yes even Penn & Teller, he has made it a personal quest to improve the cognitive thinking skills of each and every American by reaching them through their funny bones and dance shoes.
This is his first and most likely last book. |
From the Introduction...
Words have always fascinated me. How is it that “moribund” and “more buns” can mean such formidably different things? Why is it that we drive on parkways…and we get dirty looks from the neighbors when we masturbate while looking through binoculars? And why bi-noculars? Why not duo-noculars? Or stereoculars? Why can you have “any problem,” and “a knee problem,” but “a ny problem” makes no sense? Speaking of coffee… does anyone like Starbucks? Really? I always thought it tastes burnt. And yet “burndt” is not a word. Go figure. You know what should be a word? “Nords.” That and “flird”. Probably “zort” too. I don’t know what they would mean, but they should mean SOMETHING. How can a language not use “zort” and yet include a word like “nostril?” I seem to have drifted off a bit here. Sorry. [etcetera] |
