Confuzzled?
Confuzzled – means to be confused and puzzled at the same time. This I learned from a clay animation movie that I thought I’d watch for a laugh called “Mary and Max”.
I found it in the NetFlix comedy section so I figured what the heck I’ll watch it as I needed something to cheer me up to get out of the schlump I’ve been in. I mean clay animation movies are usually witty, funny and make you laugh… right?
… NOT NECESSARILY!
This one wasn’t one of those… oh no I picked probably the only clay animation movie ever produced that was sad and full of misery, gloom, death, and loneliness!
Now I’M confuzzled! Not at the story but I’m confuzzled as to why I sat for an hour and a half watching it! Now I’m stuck trying to find a way to ‘De-Confuzzle’ myself so I can get in the mood to write!
We all watch movies to leave our reality behind by vicariously becoming part of the story for the hour or so of the movie. Not to experience REAL life! Sheesh!
Well at least it wasn’t a total waste of time; I did learn another useful word, ‘SNIRT’! SNIRT is when you sneeze and snot unnoticeably lands on the toe of your shoe and then mixes with dirt as you walk around!
Don’t be fooled by the surface of SNIRT though, just because it looks like a solid clump of mud it really is still all gooey and slimy inside and if you try to pluck it off, it WILL stick to your finger as only snot can, and no matter how hard you shake it, it will leave it’s slimy residue behind and now it’s dirty too! I speak from experience! At least I know what to call it now.
De-Confuzzling oneself isn’t as easy as it would seem. Even though some of you, my lovely readers, would argue that I am always in a state of Confuzzlement, I assure you that I am not…
…going to argue with that!
There are many things in this world that both confuse and puzzle me; it is true, so having a word to describe it now is kind of cool, but this movie has left me Confuzzletaminated resulting in my Confuzzability being greatly amplified which means I will be able to confuse and puzzle you even more than before… lucky you!
Here’s some things that confuzzled me for years;
Why… for god’s sake why is it called toe ‘jam’?
Why is bellybutton fuzz always blue?
What would happen if horses had thumbs?
What disease did cured ham actually have?
Why can’t you sneeze under water?
What’s the speed of dark?
Is it still called a hearing when a deaf person goes to court?
Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?
Why doesn’t ground coffee taste like mud?
If a woman walks into a bar does her dyslexic husband walk into a bra?
I think this movie has left some SNIRT on my brain! No really!
