A literafism is an adjective created in a piece of literature.  An
eponym has a much more general definition.  Sort of like the
difference between describing you as a dullard and describing you as a
tedious, nitpicky little fuck.

Different, but in the "Tomorrow" thread...

Does ANYONE remember (roughly '86 or '87) when, completely randomly,
(like during an interview) the image of Tom Snyder being projected 
onto the front of his desk or the wall?  It was truly strange...

Or when the water in the fountain got replaced with mouthwash?

My *present* girlfriend is one. Whether this is in the form of either the

Boy, do I ever miss the dancing waters.  I think it's definitely about
time for a dancing waters reunion show, or at least a comeback tour.

Lately, the show seems to be lacking any long running, lame gags.  These
were always one of my favorite parts about letterman:  laughing at the
stuff that's only funny if you've seen him make the same lame joke for
the last two weeks.

Recently (I hate to say it) Late Night has started to seem more like a 
(shudder) Talk Show than a comedy piece.  Maybe Dave's just slacking off
in his (rumured) final days with NBC, though.

I fail to see the contradiction that you perceive in these definitions.
If it is the case that you disagree with the notion of equality
between the sexes, and if this is not motivated by either hatred
or mistrust, I find it difficult to imagine what would underpin
your position.

Unless, perhaps, you have donated so much of your brain for use

As soon as I turned the door knob, the door flew outwards, and I was thrown  
backwards in a rush of water. Rolling over and over, I was swept away by a  
river of water. When I snapped out of the initial shock, I looked around to see  
the country side flowing past quickly. Accompanying me were objects of various  
shapes and sizes. I spotted the new sofa floating towards me up the stream.  
Here was our recycling box bumping me gently.

Observing my situation, I decided that episode of Little House on the Prairie  
wasn't quite as comical as I had thought when I first saw it.

A boy of about thirteen years of age was experiencing excruciating pain from  
his abdominal area and was examined by the town physician. After he was told  
that there was nothing they could do, the town evangelist prayed to God in the  
church, asking that the boy be spared from his pain.

View the similarities:
About two weeks ago, when I moved into my room, I discovered a bathroom floor  
covered in slimy toilet water. My roommates and I were unable to do anything  
about it. We placed towels around it all the time to soak up the water, but  
mildew began to flourish in our shit/greenhouse. One evening while sitting  
around the tv room, we dimmed the lights and prayed that the cruel water would  
be gone from our sight.

Well, merrily enough, the boy started feeling much better after the church  
ceremony, and returned to his duties. Everyone was happy! There was a great  
festival, and everyone drank themselves silly, even Prairie Dawn.

A miracle occured. The next day the water was gone. No more leaky toilet! No  
more aroma of Eu de Piss in our bathroom! By the next day, we had exterminated  
the mildew growth, and our lives returned to normal.

Boom. Oh pain. I have run into a tree. Smash. A microwave slams into my head  
with the force of 18 knots of raging river current. My head slants diagonally  
from my shoulders. I will soon die, I see now. Pieces of my brain hang out of  
my ear. I can still finish. Where has this water been for the last three days?  
I should have seen it building up!

After the great celebration, the people went back to their lives, and soon the  
miracle boy was a thing of the past. That is why it came as a great surprise to  
everyone when he died suddenly, one week after the evangelism. How can this be  
they asked? The preacher was shocked. Then a girl, Lucy, the devil's advocate  
in this particular show, stated simple fact. 
"You asked that he be relieved of his pain, not his bodily ailment."

I die for this?

It is a phrase commonly used by History teachers to cover up the fact that  
learning history will not benefit anyone during the life to come. The list  
of people who made this quote spans about 3.4 million people, so I have
