How do you catch a leprechaun who has a stye in his eye👁?

A smart person makes their own luck.

Best beware.

They are quick.

They are slick.

Can squeeze between a brick.

They can slip through faster than a coin flip.

Face to face.

Place to Place

Space to space.

Base to Base.

Case to Case

How do we know? When we are out of order? How can we be so certain?

We conducted an interview. Consulted a “source”. Here is a bit of the story: Just ask cabin boy D. Doyle who went in search of a Christmas tree after he landed in a mysterious, uncharted Irish island where he accidently releases a bad-tempered banshee from her pine tree prison. Lepruchan Blarney Kilakilarney knows that in order to survive, the banshee will try to swipe his clan’s pot of Christmas gold.

Indeed. Radioactive. Maybe. Quick and slick only for the benefit of the good, the goodness. Open to debatable debate.

With some magical assistance from Lord Patrick, the king of the wee folk, Dinty and Blarney make a plan to out wit the gold hungry hag before Christmas morning dawns.

Some people plain just don’t like the hag., the me, the you, the whomever.

Good news, the lepruchan is speedy like speedy Gonzalez. Too speedy. In the blink of an eye, here. In the blink of an eye-gone. In the best possible service oriented way.

And they can speedily run full speed away from your “kiss in’” cousin.

Or cousins.

The leprechaun makes luck all its own. To own.

Those kiss in’ cousins,

Sometimes they use the insidious “fret”.

Sometimes they use a bet.

Sometimes they use a debt.

Sometimes they use a get.

Sometimes they use a jet.

Sometimes they use a let.

Sometimes they use a met.

Sometimes they use a net.

Sometimes they use a pet.

Sometimes they use a set (up)

Sometimes they use a vet.

Sometimes they use a wet.

Sometimes they use a yet.

But the tiny lepruchan charges forward. With one and one thing only.

A mindset.

Of service of goodness to others.

The lepruchan may be tiny. But the lepruchan is not stupid. Make no mistake.

Does not put his/her life on the line on or with the chance of: A coin. A flip. A coin flip.

Nope.

After all, a lepruchan is a diminutive supernatural being in Irish folklore, classed by some as a type of solitary fairy. They are usually depicted as little bearded men, wearing a coat and hat, who partake in mischief. In this year 2023, imagine your own inner lepruchan as you wish.

The chief of Mischief. For good. For one who makes their own luck and does not rely on any other is surely the fairy of all fairies.

Independent thinker. Independent minded.

In later times, the lepruchan has been depicted as a shoe-maker(s) who have a hidden pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Perhaps they held a position at Nike or Reebok.

Indeed, the lepruchan has serious roots. The word “lepruchan” may have even been coined, or “protologism”. Protologism is a term coined by the American literary theorist Michael Epstein in reference to a word coined, by an individual or a small group, that has not yet been published independently of the coiners.

Say what?😳

The word may be proposed, may be extremely new, or may not be established outside a very limited group of people.

Elite?….The “in” crowd. …..Kissin’ cousins. Ick, sick, ick and sick of epic proportions. Just the thought. Makes me cringe.

A protologism becomes a neologism as soon as it appears in public press, on a website, or in a book, independently of the coiner. A word whose developmental stage is between that of a protologism (freshly coined) and a neologism (a new word) is a prelogism.

I must lie down, My head hurts. What is real anymore? What is augmented. What is reality. What is defined even mean? What data might give to one, it takes from another….

The ultimate takeaway. It involves overlaying visual, auditory, or other sensory information onto the real world to enhance one’s experience.(wk)

Tail. Re. Re: Tail. Retailing at a store near you. Retailers and other companies (farms, markets) can use augmented reality to promote products or services, launch novel (viruses) marketing campaigns, and collect unique user data.

Lord help us. Parry Seight just showed up on my screen.

Unlike virtual reality, which creates its own cyber environment, augmented reality adds to the existing world as it is.

It is what it is.

Augmentum used to be a virus killer. That is, until is became immune to its own death.

Now. War of words. The battle of perception. Augmented reality is not real. Because so much time is spent staring at a screen nowadays, consumer consumption is beginning to show that a consumer is expecting to derive tangible benefits from technology and expect it as a part of their purchasing process.

Derive the derivative. Or. Derivative the derive.

The loyal lepruchan does does “buy it”. Doesn’t buy in. The lepruchan runs rings around Parry Seight. Gold rings. Because the Parry Seight has been camped in the un healthy business of spreading the unhealth.

The good news, is that in the right hands, the training of a good and true augmented reality is becoming a reality. In the best of hands. In good hands. In real hands.

In life. In goods. In health. In sport. In life sport. The sport of life.

Three D’s one might say😂

Happy tears.

The hordeolum. Not allowed in happy tears. It’s as tiny and bad as the lepruchan is tiny and good. Opposites you might say.

Opposites attract. Opposites attack. Especially if and when the middle keeps flip flopping on its head. It’s coined head. It’s horned head. Flopping on its side. Lancing itself right in the foot. Like shooting oneself right in the foot.

Turning on the hand that feeds you. Biting the hand that feeds you in the interest of Justice, Is justice well done. Is practice necessary to force the issue of justice into the core front.

Tyranny or Styany?

Indeed.

The word stye first recorded in the 17th century is probably a back-formation from styany (first recorded in the 15th century) which in turn comes from styan plus eye, the former of which in turn comes from the old English stigend, meaning “riser”, from the verb stigan.

To rise! I love words.

The older form styan is still used in Ulster Scots today

Don’t ya love words!

To continue: The homonym sty found in the combination pigsty has a slightly different origin, namely it comes from the Old English sting-fearh (farrow) is the Old English word for piglet—where sting meant “hall” (cf steward), possibly an early Old Norse loanword, which could be cognate with the word stigan above.

Finally.The synonymous Latin expression is hordeolum a modulation of the word hordeolum simply related to hordeum (“barley”), after its resemblance to a barley corn. In Czech, a sty is called jecne zrno (from jecmen “barley” and zrno “seed or grain”.) In German, it is called Gerstenkorn (barleycorn). in Hebrew it is called Seh-oh-Rah (Barley)(wk)

Would you like the good news first?

Or the bad news first?

But.First.

Where is the concession stand? (Bs)

Corn Pop. Pop Corn. Corn Chip. Chip Corn.

Blink. Blink. It is here.

Blink. Blink. It is gone

Talk about stress.
