| A nit.
In the first column, 8 and 9 are the same. There are many
possibilities but what was the original?

| Re .2:
Thanks for the good catch, Mike! In the first column, 9 should have
been "balanced."

| Good! Now we can have "balanced third generation flexibility".

| Here's something I came up with for a paper I did on writing
effective messages. Let's call it the "systematic VMS error
message generator":
0 asynchronous page write memory failure
1 active table swap argument error
2 inconsistent channel read process conflict
3 assigned syntax file utility fault
4 virtual block index structure flaw
5 ambiguous buffer list device deviation
6 primary access loop procedure booboo
7 inadequate symbol batch sequence whopper
8 invalid command purge operation gaffe
9 logical record output system howler
Cheers,

| Here's another one. It's for coming up with names for punk
rock bands:
0 Grateful Milk Sex League
1 Flying Dead Death Tractor
2 Surrealistic Chromium Nazi Quartet
3 Screaming Blue Burrito Orchestra
4 Neon Fudge Love Milkmen
5 Moody Metal Maniac Surfers
6 Electric Black Airplane Warriors
7 Satanic Iron Zombie Ensemble
8 Twisted Pink Culture Machine
9 Sonic Strawberry Maniac Project
Works the same as the others. For example: 1989 = the
Flying Strawberry Culture Project, 2001 = Surrealistic Milk
Sex Tractor, 1492 = Flying Fudge Maniac Quartet ...
I'm thinking of calling it the Systematic Nihilistic Adoles-
cent Cacophony Assemblage Nomenclature Projector (SNACANP
for short). Enjoy,

| But Cliff, surely many of the combinations possible here already
exist?
|
| 343.9 | House of Golden Jade Imperial Szechuan Palace Garden Inn | SHALOT::ANDERSON | Prandeamus, vere! | Wed Nov 20 1991 11:17 | 30 |

And here's one for Chinese Restaurants:
Column A Column B
1 Royal 1 Garden
2 Moon 2 Chopsticks
3 Imperial 3 Palace
4 Golden 4 Lotus
5 Jade 5 House
6 Hunan 6 Egg roll
7 Szechuan 7 Dragon
8 China 8 Inn
9 Ocean 9 Wok
0 Mandarin 0 Hut
You get the picture. 31 is Imperial Garden, 13 is Royal Palace,
44 is Golden Lotus, 30 is Ocean Hut, 56 is the Jade Egg Roll (mmmm)
...
You can even do it combination style -- you know, two from Column A,
two from Column B. This might give you the Royal Ocean Wok Garden
(1991), the Royal Szechuan Dragon Egg Roll (1776), the Moon Mandarin
Hut Garden (2001), the Imperial Szechuan Garden Palace (3713), the
Golden Jade Chopsticks Palace (4523) ...
Bon appetit,

| Hey, why stop there? Here's a handy guide for coming up with
titles for romance novels. All you'll need then is some
computer program to actually write the novels for you, a
good nom de plume, and you'll be all set.
1 Love's Smoldering Tender Nights
2 Rapture's Craving Insatiable Flame
3 Desire's Quivering Hungry Storm
4 The Heart's Endless Frenzied Tempest
5 Passion's Longing Savage Ferment
6 The Soul's Yearning Voracious Tumult
7 A Woman's Throbbing Ardent Frenzy
8 A Man's Eternal Sweet Embrace
9 Love's Burning Wicked Turmoil
0 Love's Blazing Innocent Fire
1984 is Love's Burning Sweet Tempest, 2001 is Rapture's Blazing
Innocent Nights, 1492 is Love's Endless Wicked Flame, 1776 is
Love's Throbbing Ardent Tumult.
Just call me,

| 343.12 | Random Strings of TechnoLatin | CPEEDY::BRADLEY | Chuck Bradley | Mon Jul 01 1996 07:31 | 87 |

I got this from one of the DEC librarians.
Many of the words are on other lists of buzzwords.
Another collection will do no harm.
The need it addresses is still all around us.
------------------------------------------------------
Random Strings of TechnoLatin
Doc Searls, Vice President and Dire[c]tor of public Relations,
Hodskins Simone & Searls, Inc.
The Generic Description Table on the next page is what we
give to all our clients who are tempted to describe what
they do using a generic language that we call TechnoLatin.
It's a table of words that are (or have been made by
frequent use) so imprecise that they are easy to use.
Like the blank tiles in Scrabble, you can put them anywhere
but they have no value.
All the words and expressions in the table were chosen to
meet precisely that criterion: to have no value. My favorite
value-free term is "solution. There are others we hate just
as much, I am sure. "Customer-driven" is one."
"Transparent" is another.
It's fun putting together random strings of modifiers
(including "adnouns" -- nouns that serve as modifiers),
such as "virtually seamless object network strategy"
and "incrementatly intelligent workgroup process topology
vendor." The table lets you mix and match your own.
The frightening thing is, you can add across any row and
get what sounds like a credible slogan. There's "progressively
incremental developer interface" and "platform objective
supplier." See how many existing slogans you can find in the table.
