I just thought of a fun little experiment for myself. It’s loosely based on this quote below from this site. It’s about something called synchronistic linguistics, phatic communication, and an impossibly un/real entity called Bob Dobbs (don’t ask me, I’m still figuring out what I mean):

“Phatic Communion” is an obscure phrase first used in the 1920s by the anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski in the book The Meaning of Meaning (1923) to describe unacknowledged communication networks among tribes, the archetypal clichŽs that are embedded so deeply in the culture that no one even realizes they exist.

Anyway, the experiment is to extract just key phrases and shit from a variety of different sources, out of context, mixing them up in here, for the purposes of scrambling my mind. Each segment will link to the source material. I’d like to see what comes out of it.
