Off Topic - Frank Bruni in the NYT

[Countrygent]

I read this little bit by Bruni and smiled because mea culpa I used the phrase here last week in my condensed history of ETG.

My storehouse of valuable advice is finite. I’ll run out before long. But from a top shelf I pluck this: When somebody says “long story short,” make a bowl of popcorn, settle into a comfortable chair and brace for an epic. A very long story is about to unspool, or an already-long story is about to grow longer.

“Long story short” exists at the oxymoronic intersection of self-awareness and self-deception. Its utterers know enough to acknowledge their tale’s length but pledge an abbreviation that they’re incapable of. That “long” and that “short” are in unresolved tension. If the phrase were a lyric, it would be scored by the musician Fatboy Slim.

“Forgive the interminable story.” “I know I should stop talking but I can’t.” “I’ve taken you hostage and the ransom is listening to me for another 15 minutes.” These are honest alternatives to the fiction of “long story short.” And I’ll stop there, to keep a short item short.


Lol  Guilty!
