Always The Same Word

August 18th, 2008 by WHO WAS PHONE?

If you watch every State of the Union Address since it’s been filmed and available on tape, you’ll see that halfway through–exactly halfway through–the President always says the same word. Most say it under their breath during the standing ovations, but some are forced to work it into the speech itself.

    @xD

    Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.) (Order of the Temple of the East, or the Order of Oriental Templars) is an international fraternal and religious organization founded at the beginning of the 20th century. Originally it was intended to be modelled after and associated with Freemasonry,[1] but under the leadership of Aleister Crowley was reorganized based on the Law of Thelema as its central religious principle.

    Use google…

    This is a really common (and mediocree) pasta, but I have never read the last paragraph before.

    Doesn’t make it much better actually =(

  3. Derp

    …Wow terrible

  4. Royal-Sovereign

    I always kinda liked this one for the mystique around it…I’ve seen the “peony” bit before, though, and it frankly ruins the feeling.

    But without that last paragraph, it’s a solid, staple pasta.

  5. Bryan

    The second paragraph is retarded… theres a flower for every dimension? The writing is weird too.

  6. DUDE

    THEN WHO WAS WORD???

  7. Atropos

    I agree wholeheartedly, the part about the flowers is nonsense, most ridiculous nonsense at that. I’ve listened to a few speeches since I read this…from the current administration, as well as others by JFK and Nixon. I still don’t know what it is…but it made me shiver, nonetheless. It felt like a welcome to an invading presence from beyond.

  8. WHO WAS PHONE?

    Do you think it would be best if I cut out the last paragraph and just left it at that?

  9. Edward

    There’s a flower for all eleven dimensions

    Just delete that part

  10. Royal-Sovereign

    @ PHONE

    To be honest, yes…

  11. Xantherian

    @ PHONE

    Yes, fer sure.
    The first paragraph is mysterious, unsettling.
    The second paragraph basically makes no sense.

  12. Russel Crowe

    I’d take the sound that pronouncing the word would create, seal it into a glass jar, and crush it under several tons of concrete.

  13. WHO WAS PHONE?

    Edited the second paragraph out. I agree, it sounds like it was kind of mashed on there, like the first paragraph had been written by one person and the Peony BS was added on later.

  14. Comment Leaver

    Eh. I like it better now but it dosen’t really leave much to be creepy. Interesting sure but there’s no consequence to the word.

  15. Reptilian Liar

    Just delete it all together..

  16. Anonymous

    what

  17. Last paragraph

    you cut me out? =(

  18. ScoolyardHero

    well that sucks i didn’t get to read the last paragraph

  19. Girlie

    I think it’s not as good without the second paragraph. It just feels too… short, I guess. :/

  20. Sara

    ScoolyardHero, it wasn’t worth reading tbh. It was jut some b/s that someone tried to add to it to make the story scarier. They failed.

  21. Icecry0

    They failed so hard I failed at failing to fail this failure from the failing aura of this epic fail.

  22. Anon

    the secret word is wheaties

  23. Crimson

    Flowers? there was another paragraph??? aww…

  24. Crimson

    wait…could the word be “The” or “America’????

  25. Ars Mysteriorum

    I dunno, if the president kept saying “the” or “America” under his breath, I’d be kind of wigged out.

  26. Missus Greatdone

    I didnt like this one.

    So what if they say the same word?

    What would it mean?

  27. r

    i missed it. :/

  28. WHO WAS PHONE?

    …and this is why I usually don’t give in and do edits/changes. You have the people bitching because they didn’t get to read the original, the people who bitched when it was intact, and the people who aren’t happy either way and hate everything I post.

    I love self-entitled readers and how they all seem to expect that I should tailor the entire website just for them. Yeah, maybe if you paid the hosting bills.

  29. icarus

    I like the entry the way it is.
    It’s interesting…
    Not shaking in your bed scary or anything but is pretty cool.

    I never read the first one.

    People shouldl be greatful that you even keep this site running with fresh material
