Some words put together (with no inspiration at all)
Because picking out phrases must be useful, here is a short text I’ve written to reuse them in a brand new context.
Internet is usually a good way for me to come up with original ideas for my English writing works. It has got me off the hook many times. But in the latter case, I can’t say it was a resounding success.
I jumped between different websites I’m used to visit, relying on them to find some kind of amusing topics through the tremendous amount of information but I didn’t deemed any of them fitted to the kind of work I had to do.
I was hesitant about talking about two articles found on wikipedia. One of them was about a book given to the soldiers involved in the Normandy landings. It was called “112 gripes about the french”. The purpose of this book was to help the soldiers to put up with the french people and their strange habits. Now we have a hindsight of 50 years I thought it was quite funny to quote this book. But I refrain from doing this because it was hard to put my phrases through quotations.
The second one dealed with a ceremony which closely mimics the Nobel prices awards ceremony in a humorous way. During this ceremony, the laureates receive an award called the Ig Nobel price for discoveries “that cannot, or should not, be reproduced”.
I really get a kick out of this kind of happening. So I started to write something about it but nothing came out. Even if of the two articles mentioned, this one was the most interesting, I was really not inspired. Inspiration really depends on the day !
