We did some word association back in Pre-University College and as is usual in these exercises, people end up putting their feet in their mouths. Tempers flaired, grudges held, and even the tutors got accidentally insulted, to the horror of the students when they realised it. Fortunately, the tutors were pros...
However, it's always interesting when mention of one word can get a totally unexpected and possibly even unrelated responses due to ones personal memories or personal experience. Example:
Computer - Jealous (during childhood, your sworn enemy was the only one in the neighbourhood with a comp)
Calvin & Hobbes - Jacqueline (your childhood sweetheart, who gave you a collection as a birthday present)
Accounting - Accident (you tripped on an accounting book and well... broke your arm!)
I'm only mentioning this because of my last posting. Now, I am an avid Star Wars fan. I daresay I've memorised 90% of the dialogue in Episodes 4-6, and can tell you what happens in all the scenes. As for Episodes 1-2, I think I'm at 50%, but that's cause it's still new, plus the fact some of the dialogue between Anakin and Amidala is just plain horrible. However, I can still tell you what happens in all the scenes as well!
And yet, now, whenever Star Wars is mentioned, a totally unexpected memory comes to my mind...
And hey! It's a great one!
When George Lucas named Star Wars Episode 4 as A New Hope, he never realised just how prophetic that title turned out to be!
Random picture moment
Totally unrelated picture follows. I realised I haven't posted any pics for quite a while. So here's a shot taken recently at Wolf's Game Shop.
Aside from the gaming, the socialising, and the deep contemplation of WGS's larger than life personality of Chen, this picture also treats you to what is now considered a rare moment indeed: Wolf having free time to paint miniatures!
Have a good one, Wolf!
