BORING, UNINTERESTING FACT, N.23
fanzines (so we've been told) are supposed to educate as well as entertain and inform, or so I read once.
Or, how to disrupt a drunk mate from re-telling the same old, eye wateringly boring Pub story that every ones had to suffer a million times before.
I knew from the start of writing this article, that writing about the correct meaning of the circle around the 'A' of the Anarchist symbol is as dull an issue as any that it is possible to raise during a conversation in polite company, to say the least. But bear with me a bit, because you will see that in certain contexts it really is a topic worth writing about. That's if both its widespread misuse and, the copious amount of spare time I have on my hands are anything to go by of course.
Yet, it is a topic that in the future could even possibly be considered to be a deadly new move in the well known, age old traditional martial art of verbal Kung-Fu, by people engaged in verbal combat against the dullard legions of rubbish tale tellers and their boring, repetitive Pub stories, you know, ones that everyone have heard a zillion times before.
This unique conversational intervention could do nothing less than change the course of Pub talk forever (well, for one Evening, or at least half an hour anyway) alone, through nothing more than the full, robust amount of "err, so what?"and "who gives a toss?" deflective banter powers the topic contains.
Just so you know (and to get to the point, before you get too bored), the Anarchist symbol in question (as seen on right- durr!) is often accompanied with the slogan "Anarchy and chaos". When this particular slogan is used in combination with the encircled 'A' symbol, it is nothing short of a contradiction in terms to say the least! Oh yes indeedy, it is, no doubt about it.
ANARCHY PEAS AND CHIPS
"What the fuck are you on about?" I hear a disinterested chorus of you all asking simultaneously, followed by comments such as "haven't you got anything useful to do with your time?" and so on. Which is a fair point to raise I suppose.
BIG 'A' LITTLE 'A'
But, I'm going to ignore such rude and willfully ignorant comments, because I want to explain to the obviously intelligent readers here, why the slogan 'Anarchy and chaos' is a nonsense (which is itself one for a later rant) when used alongside the encircled 'A'. And I'm more than sure these same avid readers will be glad to learn something new, however trivial it may seem at first.
YAWN
Before you all get too bored though I'll get to the point. As we all know, the encircled 'A' represents the word 'Anarchy', and (obviously) its symbol was created using the first letter of the word itself. Less well known however, is the meaning of the circle surrounding the letter 'A'. Even less well known than that though, is the fact that the circle (or letter 'O' as it should more correctly be referred to) also has a specific meaning of its own at all.
Just as little known, or cared about to be honest! Is that together, the two letters have a combined meaning other than just the decorative one assumed by many. The circle (or letter 'O') doesn't just have a functional or decorative purpose, as most unthinkingly assume, oh-no no no. Instead, the meaning of the circle, or letter 'O', is no less than a representation of the word and ideals of social 'Order'.
The original idea of the surrounding 'O' is that it's ideals were supposed to be represented and symbolised through their combined use, just as prominently as that of the Anarchist 'A' within it.
AN.O.K
So, 'Anarchy and Order' or, 'Order and Anarchy', is what is represented by the symbol, the meaning behind the two letters when combined in the style that we are all familiar with.
Now, tell me, is this not one of, if not the most boring political articles you've ever read, or heard about for that matter? Either recently or from the past? (as befitting any decent political article I must add).
While I'm at it, I also challenge anyone to tell me if they had ever read anything about this subject anywhere else? Or, anything like it as boring as this is in any other Zine, Mag or website, other than than in an issue of GREEN ANARCHIST? (of course) which is exempt from being referenced due to them long being the undisputed masters of the art.
As some may know, GREEN ANARCHIST magazine specialised in such articles. Sometimes filling whole issues whilst only actually writing about two or three topics! And so, sinse it is upon the gigantic shoulders of the GREEN ANARCHIST writers which we respectfully stand on in regards to this article, they are exempt!
I tell you this because it is one of those dull factoids that very rarely ever gets mentioned, even when the Beer has been liberally flowing for some time and the chat has turned to slurred, repetitive nonsense, this topic almost never comes up. For some reason, age old questions such as "...Kelly Brooke or Cheryl Cole?" are more popular banter topics (just so you know, Kelly Brooke is the answer I reckon).
Anyway, here is your lucky chance to inject a dull new fact into the usual slurred, Beered up 'heard it all before' conversations You'll have nothing less than a fresh dull topic that you can throw into the mix of the same old predictable banter, hopefully allowing you to cut off the mate who is oh-so predictably about to tell everyone the usual same old story about the time he....blah blah etc.etc.
You know the one, the one he blah blah blah, boringly repeats every time he's had a pint.
So, this little known but amazingly dull factoid may possibly possess no-less than the power to delay the dull bores whilst they are in the middle of their expulsion of verbal excrement as it is being loosed, if not distract him all together, So mind numbingly uninteresting is this fact.
Its worth a try if nothing else.
