note to self

Explore the deleuzoguattarian concept of “stuttering the major language” in the becoming-minor of one’s own language, and how that relates to SMS texting, lolcatspeak, and how certain quite literate ppl I know or whose blogs I read habitually twist/stretch/squeeze/stutter their English in everyday writing and/or speaking: Rotcod Zzaj (if you can find any online copies of old Improvijazzation Nation zines…his reviews contain some pretty wakkt-owtt wordifications), Patrick Hayden (check his sidebar link-naming practices—my fave being “muh stulpzun ziti”, e.g., and often the main posting text…I love his writing when it getz willy kwazy), Cassidy Rios Kane (de a4mentioned ziti), and Orbital Disco Dave Wilson (need I say more…he’s an a-fuckin-mazing linguistic trickster and mindbanger… just relax and enjoy it). These and a few others come to mind immediately, but I think more and more people in my life are punning and recombining syntactically and semantically in ways that point up the joyful plasticity and arbitrary artfulness of language. My examples may not seem particularly apropos upon 1st glance, but I’ve been reading/listening to them for awhile, and I think they are good examples of writers/speakers stuttering their major language in order to create freedom through becoming-minor in language.

I remember absolute intoxication from first reading Patti Smith and Jack Kerouac, both excellent examples of what im trine tasay. And I ONLY JUST NOW thought of rap, hip-hop’s minor stutterering of major language par excellence!

In conclusion: I think lolcats have been a big stutterhammer released on the world. Watch out majoritarians, we’re LOLing after you!!

F-f-f-fight the s-s-s-s-signifier: stutter the fucker!!
