Day dream vision and Mishearing / Mondegreen of the day
Yesterday
on the way the British Library conference hall for a J G Ballard Event there featuring a line up of speakers. Wmm walked from home to the station to get a train and noticed an empty crisp packet on the ground next
to a car and found himself imagining a mutant crab claw covered in gelatinous blood coming out
tempting predator of some sort to eat it as perhaps some sort of a weirdly shaped
corn based snack such as packet of Monster
Munch or Quavers etcetera.
Wmm kept that vision in mind and when he met up with
the JGBallard discussion group there and sat down in the auditorium,
Mike from up North who was sitting next to him started to sound as if he
was talking about "the crisp packet essay" and Wmm became very confused
wondering what could be so interesting about the development over the
years of crisp packets despite what he experienced earlier on that day.
However Mike was referring to an essay about Ballard by someone called
Chris Beckett who was a British Library archiver and Wmm came to realise
this when he saw the name on a list of speakers.

Misreading of the day
Wmm misread the BBC news headline "Strauss-Kahn arrives back in France" as "Stress can arrive back to front"
Wmm noticed a number of comments about what stress can do because of this and you ought to be thankful that he didn't go full throttle there
