DISSOCIATED ANALYSIS

12:40

Like a little prayer:

A dissociator, or "travesty generator" takes text and rearranges it according to context rules is gleans from the original text. This creates new and strange constructions. I generated 1000 lines of travesty using the logfile since 1996, and selected a few of the more interesting ones for analysis.

you listen to too much Dead Can Dance...you start drinking orange juice and wondering if I'm shrewd, I stay awake until Burger on it to the table and set it turns into "false fun".
This one sounds like lyrics a male Tori Amos would write. Hee! Oh wait, I wrote it.

the orb itself is very general and vague, with 28 definitions for the word given in the American Vampire Sharks. Yeek.
Sounds like a real sentence, at least. I like the idea of "American Vampire Sharks". Not sure why they would be giving out vague words, though.

I haven't made a firm decision on whether to quit GST or, somehow psychically know when the cheese in the center is melted.
Pretty eerie. I don't think anyone knows whether the cheese at the center of GST is melted, or even if it is actually cheese-filled.

Well, you have money. I will probably have money for legalization, and I don't smoke. It's just illogical for tobacco to be legal and "bye, bye, bye, bye, bye ..." stewardesses get included here.
Run-on sentences are common in dissociations. I just like the way this almost-sensical phrasing breaks down into bye, bye, bye etc.

Thinking about it now, I seem to remember a retirement home being near me when we were all in Hawaii. She is in Chicago now, going to College. I didn't know what have I suppose. You see, Le'a had something to say. I wasn't taught about the secret of blabbering inanity
Hidden meaning? Well, The components were written at different times. I might very well have written something like this, except that it's all not true.

Let's see what I thought, "I should not be any length of time. It makes me sick; it when people are just futzing with their computers (a 1993 study by later. Pretty innocuous, huh? Duhhh I'm very stupid.
I have no joke, I just like saying "I should not be any length of time."

It bakes up kind of opera-esque lyrical dialogue to it. It makes you think of the way that soon I shall take up the hammer of the wrong ones.
I really enjoy the idea of baking up lyrical opera dialog. I can almost imagine a baking sheet of strange italian words. Then, I TAKE UP THE HAMMER OF THE WRONG ONES!!!

Um, or maybe she thinks that we're, like, having a relationship. You'd think that being that ugly would result in her developing a transvestite?


909811138 seconds ago? Well, yeah, I turn something into the guy above me's web diary and then hit the word 'hate' too broadly. But it's short, easy to spell, and everyone knows it's way too hard to read and type different things simultaneously. Hell, it makes me want to be smart.
I hit the word "hate" too broadly all the goddamn time. This one is probably the most angst out of all of these, barring that first Tobi Amos thing.

In this game, each player created a maniac, that you'd have to learn the goofy names of all day afterward.
This is, like, an extremely accurate description of most role playing games. I know where the parts came from, and they have nothing to do with RPGs, which just makes it spookier.

"You can't use horizontal scrolling in their web pages, because there's nothing, because I am the biggest loser in the world. (And June might see me in my own house.)
Sounds like I've got some self image problems. Who's June?

I imagine that sleeping alone on that hard cot all those circular saws I imagined slight something you've managed to get all fucked up over without talking about. Hum. After all that, I guess it comes down to "If I choose. There are now none
An artifact of travesty generators: weird punctuation. A Lot of parenthesis and quotation marks wind up single. Lonely punctuation, where does it all come from? Well, I now know. This quote sounds like a typical relationship on the rocks.

Four steps later, two ways, though, since guys do that too? Most guys can't afford to make it unecessary for a little while and not think about anything. Urgh. No, it was more than just caffeine.
I'M ON DRRUUUUGS!

It would have been much worse if we had not sure if either one of us understood english at that point. The house was so he half-heartedly pokes at a few keys, moves the mouse and clicks. "Hmm da"
It's the story of a couple of norwegian folks sitting around the house with some serious fin de siecle ennui.

The headache is probably partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil!), like "sweethearts" or too serious. corporations are evil. The managers are mine. Everything else is true.
