Blague-Piercing and Way Nu Ecoplasm

Part 1: Tony Pierce, on the LA Times in general:

is one of the comments from this item about an LA Times article:

http://www.tonypierce.com/blog/2002_09_08_blogarc.htm#85443473

which demonstrates the not-yet-a-maxim that "Writing a dead-trees article about blogging is like ... fishing about architecture ... or bicyling about dancing ... " or something.

Part 2: désagréable

My French language google-lesson yesterday led me to an Australian site "how to be obnoxious in French", which included a bit about French pronunciation as seen from Oz:

Part 3. Misspelling => neologism

Sometimes it works that way. Johnathan Peterson't typo "ecoplasm" in the comments on this item:

http://www.way.nu/archives/000427.html#000427
led me to suggest a definition: ecoplasm is ... Soylent Green.
