One of my....
One of my best pieces of writing ever, in my opinion, I published to the HIVE blockchain yesterday, “Don’t mess with HIVE”. Granted; I resolved myself to the fact that I have very little talent in creative writing years ago. However, I do enjoy it, so when given the opportunity and the time I take a shot at it.
Especially, when there is a chance to maybe gather a little crypto in a contest. Actually, I have won some crypto from previous writing contests on the other fork of this blockchain. (It pains me to even type the words steem and steemit so from here on out if you read the word FIRED in any of my writings going forward you’ll know exactly what I am speaking of.)
So I've decoded...
So I’ve decoded one word for you, I guess it really wasn’t “coded”, we all knew that I was talking about FIRED.
I guess I should change the title of this post to, ...nah… I’ll leave it as “click bait” maybe someone will say, “he’s got a code. I need to see this.” and read it; when they would have never stopped by. The “Don’t mess with the HIVE” the names in the story do have meanings to me so I will explain those, so it is sort of code.
Let's go through...
Let’s go through and I'll reveal how I chose the names in the order they appear. So the “author” “Vance Ericson”, I created from a favorite writer of mine and hell of good guy named Eric Vance Walton. You can find him here on HIVE.
Master tRump
Next on the list is “Master tRump” aka “President tRump” who was undoubtedly President Donald J Trump. I would like to explain why I used him though instead of just making up some fictional character. President Trump is a very controversial person in the USA and around the world so he had that going for him in the selection process. Plus he is the president in the time frame of the story (well at least the beginning).
Those weren’t the primary reasons though, the real reason is I made a typing mistake in an old Daily Dose and typed “tRump”, a reader commented he like the way I spelled it and thought I was implying Trump was an “ass”, you know… rump is a cut of meat from the rear of cow.
Rather than admit it was an error I just took it an ran with it, so from there on out I have always typed it that way for “shits and grins” if you will.
Jack Wad
The next character is the favorite name of mine in the story “Jack Wad”, we all know him in real life as Justin Sun. The character name is just so fitting and correct for Justin; I just had to use it. Should you not know the meaning of Jack Wad or jackwad try the online Urban Dictionary.
Guzbucks
Proceeding down the list of “explaining”; we next come to the FIRED crypto currency named GUZBUCKS.
Most all of you know the word guzbuck is a word I created back on FIRED when I entered a writing contest where writers had to create their own cuss word. I liked the sound of “guzbuck” when it’s pronounced orally. It hasn’t quite made it to the Urban Dictionary yet so don’t bother looking it up if your new here.
I’ll give my un-official definition but feel free to use “guzbuck” as you like. I have no copy right or trade rights registered to the word because I would like to see it used more often by others.
Personally I use it as a substitute for the F Bomb or F_CK (fill in the blank); oh wait… I’m not on FIRED; I can say what I want here; what the fuck was I thinking.
So use “guzbuck” in place of fuck, I do.
While on the subject of its use I tell you a favorite use of mine. When a person sneezes instead saying “bless you” I just say guzbuck. I swear 8 of 10 people just say “thank you” without even hesitating. Only a couple people ever questioned the word and only one of those wanted to know the meaning. The other just wanted to know if it was a German language origin word.
Since my wife is of German descent; I naturally said it was. I almost feel some guilt for the older lady who wanted to know the meaning of the word. Being that this question was later on from the question about the origin, I had to go that direction for consistency, “all I know is my wife is German and her grandmother always said it when people sneezed. I think it is German or German slang for “bless you” but I couldn’t swear to it.”
I am fairly certain the lady will have passed on before the word guzbuck gains enough traction for her to find out. Speaking of passing on, let’s see what is next on list.
Beez
Beez comes up next but I said in the story that it is the people of the HIVE community.
Moses Freeman
Who could be better than a man named “Moses Freeman” to save old Sult? The “Moses” portion of the name came from Moses straight out of the good old Bible. Yes, I’ll admit to this. I am one of those redneck, God loving, gun loving people from the South. The “Freeman” last name is what I think all should be: “free man “ or in plural form free men and women.
Daisy
That brings us to the love of my life “Daisy”. Now, I didn’t pick that name for her so I can’t say there is a certain meaning behind it relating to story other than she is my wife.
The name “Daisy” was my wife’s choice, but not for this story.
When the Brocino.com casino site went live on the FIRED side of this blockchain she was able to “sneak in” and start playing and she didn’t want to use her real name so she picked “Daisy” because it is her favorite spring time flower. Also when I say “sneak in” that is the truth.
Edgar T. Pollen
We finish off with chief Justice “Edgar T Pollen”. Here I just wanted to give the judge a name that sounded proper but with a slight tie in subconsciously to the story.
“Edgar”, to me, is what I would call a distinguished name and I just like the letter “T” in both sound and appearance. The last name “Pollen” is where I went for the tie in.
Pollen is what bees collect in nature to make honey, we all know that, but pollen also make people sneeze and creates numerous opportunities to say to folks, “Guzbuck”.
So I like pollen, and by then I was tired and I needed to finish the story. Edgar T Pollen was the best I could come up at the time.
That my folks...
That my folks wraps up this edition of “A Dash of Sult N Papper” and as a favorite news person of mine from years ago used to say; “now you know…the rest of the story.”, Paul Harvey.
Until next time,
Sult
