The Word "Snark" means "Death". As in "Hunting for the Snark".
It is an old English word - maybe even OLD English but likely only
1800's by a Math master in Logic.

Correct.

Its rather amusing watching the little kids hunt for and zoom in on
tiny pieces of something and blow it up as a major deal. Similar to
watching them hunting for a twisted thread in a large sail and making
a big deal about it. (Grin) But hey..it gives them something to do,
shows the readers what age and alzheimers causes and makes em easy to
plink into the bozo bin.

Btw..as I mentioned many times over the years....plink rather than
plonk is the term I choose, due to its simularity to the sound one
hears when flicking a booger into a steel trash can. There is no
Plonk sound..at best..if you listen very very closely...you may hear a
very gentle "plink" as it strikes the side and then oozes downwards
into the rest of the trash.


I used to go plinking with my .22 as a kid. The sound the tiny bullet
going through the beer can (real tin/steel back then) was "plink".

If you really _were_ plinking these guys, they wouldn't be here to
harass us, now would they? Thinking of them as boogers isn't as nice,
but I suppose it's more legal.


It means its the effort of a moment, a semi concious effort to remove
a niggling bit of temporary irritation, a faint itch from ones nostril
and is accomplished in a moment, without much thought and forgotten
about mere moments later.


Yes, that's why I plonk 'em quickly (and wish you did more rapidly.)
