If I’m not mistaken, “pataphysicks” was how Jarry originally spelled it which, I think, made it even more bizarre (& fun). In modern times (present day included), we have Zippy the Pinhead, also a devout pataphysician—a creation of Bill Griffith who, not coincidentally, did the illustrations for “AJ: The Man With the Axe.” Among my recent Zippy faves in a comic strip in which God or the Devil (forgot which!) strikes a deal with Shelf Life.

Having given it a little thought, YES, even SBA’s can go either way (from innocent warmfuzzies to horrifying, yikes). Like most things, eh?! ^o0)^

Funny indeed, Toni! SBAs don’t need much more than mention to entertain — or horrify. BTW: The pataphysical concept is, hmm, quite a ocncept, eh?

Glad to have the opportunity to introduce you two. Odd thing, K-B, while I could easily picture Jarry formulating a web search (how to get from here to…there?), I hadn’t even thought of possibilities for his WEBSITE, ahahah! That’s wonderful—ought to keep me mentally occupied into Thursday at least.

I have a small confession… my dear friend (since we were 20.x & now lives in NY) wrote “Alfred Jarry: The Man With the Axe.” She and I have in common a strong sense of the absurd which has gotten us through much in life so far. Definitely will bring up the idea of pataphysical web design next time one of us phones the other (guaranteed good time). Thanx!

Btw, my previous (googling) msg was left just 1 minute after the one before that (sudden compulsion to find out where small barnyard animals might lead me). But then I left the computer without 1st having clicked Submit. Returned after supper to find it was still here. The fact that you googled Jarry & I did same with small barnyard animals — c’mon, that’s pretty funny all by itself;-P)

Ok, so while in the neighborhood, I had to do it… googled ‘small barnyard animals’.

The first 3 results took me to Target.com, Amazon.com, then BizRate.com. The 4th result is copy/pasted below:
Small Farm Animals Band is a Boston Based Lithuanian Rock and Blues Band.

There.

Hey! I had to look up Alfred Jarry — thanks! What an entertaining and sad character. I imagine he’d have had a hell of a website, had he been born later.

Hmmm… me, too. I’m not convinced thinking is part of the search process either. But I’d like to know what Alfred Jarry would have to say about this. Or Zippy the Pinhead.

I’m not yet convinced thinking is always involved. …

What in the world—wtf—what are ppl thinking? Mindful that there’s much I’m not aware of, there must be connections I’m just not making (you too, huh?). Aside from the pedophilia and whatnot, these are funnn! My husband likes “I’m a physician and my hands are killing” (not killing me but just killing?). “I lift my leafy arms to pray” (not jiggly just leafy?). If I had to zoom in on just one, probably “Can I work overseas and still collect unemployment in Calif.” Sure what the hell why not! In fact, to collect Calif. bucks, one need only be unemployed in the state of Calf., that’s all.

A good amount of interest in Chuck Norris and Afghanistan…hmmm. Now if I was interested in writing and wanted to zoom in on the Fallbrook area, I’d probably type in something like ‘writing +fallbrook ca’ – how unimaginative! Well, so much for thinking of myself as pretty tech savvy… apparently much more to learn. Good thing I haven’t created my own website yet (if ever) – no one would be able to find me!
