Random Babble: Bore


The word 'Bore' has a lot of connotations. All connotations can be found in a dictionary. So why am I doing it here? Because I can and I am plain bored.

  1. Bore: To be a bore. Someone who has the ability to spread boredom. This should not be mistaken for a superpower. It is more common than you can imagine.
    Illustration: The author finds some of his posts a bore.

  2. Bore: Bore is used to define the diameter of a tube or tunnel or anything circular. Its associated more to a hole. Gun barrels also are identified using the bore. No Calibre is different, this is more related to the barrel.
    Illustration: The bore of the barrel of the gun pointed at your face is directly related to your ability to hold your bladder.

  3. Bore: Bore is also a sort of digging term related to the process of digging into something. It perhaps obvious since Bore seems to like tunnels and holes. Its only natural to associate itself to the process of digging too.
    Illustration: The termite bore holes in my books which was fine with me as they were my study books and not my Playboy collection.

  4. Bore: Bore is one of the wordeas (sort of district) of Ethopia. Bore must be a hole on earth by the sound of it.
    Illustration: Look for a black hole in Ethopia.

    Bore is also used with other words to express other Boring connotations.

  5. Bore dom: Its what a Bore brings in.
    Illustration: Look at what Boredom does to you. Makes me write a post on boredom and makes you read on one.

  6. Tidal Bore: A very high wave caused by a tidal flow. This is more because of tidal waves colliding with each other. Sometimes if a person is a Colossal Bore then he or she can be termed a Tidal Bore.
    Illustration: What better than an Image

  7. Bore Upon: The phrase bore upon means "have an effect upon". It means to take be impacted or effected due to some event, action or whatever.
    Illustration: The need for sending me to the asylum bore upon my parents after seeing me dance naked in the fountain in the middle of Central Park and then peeing on dogs, standing on one leg.

Ad Senseless: DARK but no Temptation

P hoto courtesy: The SUN UK (all credits and copyrights to this image is sole property of SUN UK and the rightful owner. The author takes no credit for the same.) A xe is known for making great ads. The theme of all ads tend to revolve around the guy using Axe Deo and the girls finding him irresistible. In the same spirit, Axe came up with a new ad which has stirred some controversy especially in India. Read the news article here Now lets take a good at the ad. The ad starts of with this guy who sprays the new Axe Dark Temptation on him. Suddenly he changes into a Chocolate man who is like the favorite chocolate boy for all women around him. They can't stop themselves from biting of body parts off him. So why is the senseless? Here goes: The Chocolate man is plain creepy with his stupid grin and big eyes. Period. Girls and Women are generally very wary about eating chocolates lest it affect their figure Besides the two obvious fail of logic, how does it make any sense showing a man...

Defining Randomness!

What is Randomness? It is the act of being random. So lets define the word 'Random' But the defining 'random' in itself is against the concept of randomness. You see randomness cannot be confined within a finite definition. So I believe you cannot define the Actual concept of Randomness. I believe our lives are spent fighting 'randomness'. You may wonder how? Look at yourself. Your body is of a finite structure. It is nothing random. We try our best to 'Keep in Shape'. This is but a small part of our fight. In our lives we always want to bring order. We feel comfortable with a pattern, an order, an organized way of approach. We are always trying hard to organize our lives in to manageable parts. Pattern is of essence for humans and living beings alike. Though many friends and people I know (or don't yet) will say that they are not organized at all. They are a mess and hate conforming to patterns or adhering to some kind of order. Though you might cal...

Ad SenseLess – Thums Down!

Let me clarify in the first go itself that this post has nothing to do against the famous Google Adsense. I myself stand by the effectiveness (Though I still can’t figure out who actually clicks those ads) of Adsense. On the contrary I intend to write my critical point of view on some ads that we see on television today. Ad Senseless will predominantly pick out those senseless ads that are stuffed down our throats. But sometimes, some good and innovative ads might find mention for not being senseless. But this Ad Senseless is intended to be a standard feature on 13 th Random featured randomly. Having cleared that part let me move to the point that I intend to make through this post. It is about some Ads that I have come across on television recently. These ads are so senseless that I feel so inclined to comment about them here. The first ad that I find senseless is Thums Up (the taste the thunder brand from Coca Cola). They have been advertising using star power and showing ...
