Brisbane: "A Picture, Its Worth A Thousand Words"

2Preface ToHydro-PictoNymphsOxy's Pictorial Oxymania

Howdy Dowdy diddle um-day1 I, Oxy greets you again. The raison d'tre for this tome is toexplore pictorially the water dwelling and exploiting Nymphomanians in all their splendor,wonder and varieties. To so pictorially amaze, educate, flabbergast, shock, jolt, ironize, andentertain you in the oddest areas and ways, though here in a mostly PG13 manner. (If not,electronic pasties and/or, hopefully, relevant, interesting and/or amusing overlays havebeen strategically, yet discreetly applied.

Im still Oxy (short for Oxymoron), not Peter, Paul & Marys playful little Leatherwing Bat, buta boastfully Sharp (OXY) & admittedly Dull (MORON) bovine eater of hay and haywire. Notan author, but a slurpper and parodier of all tasty and/or chewy written and pictorial concepts anditems that have a devilish tang of contradiction, conflict, inconsistency, incongruity, irony,Double Entendre &/or opinion. Thus, my aim is to figuratively sharply & dully recapitulate,reassemble and/or reanimate such by slurping in & spitting out prime tasty tidbits, at timeschewed down, paraphrased, photoshopped and/or edited for fit, flow or flabbergastation, as:"What's the use of a good quotation if you can't change it [Dr. Who]?

The concept of a picture being worth a 1000 or 10,000 words does not appear to go all the wayback to Confucius, as some profess, but is traceable as far back as 1862 to the novel by Ivan S.Turgenev, Fathers and Sons: "The drawing shows me at one glance what might be spreadover ten pages in a book." Then in March, 1911 newspaper editor Arthur Brisbane, in thecontext of promoting Streetcar advertising, advised the Syracuse Advertising Men's Club to "usea picture, It's worth a thousand words." This was followed a decade later by Frederick R.Barnard asserting in the December 8, 1921 issue of Printer's Ink that "One look is worth athousand words", and again by him in the March 10, 1927 issue of Printer's Ink where he inflatedthis concept to One picture is worth ten thousand words."

Now, now, I, Oxy, do not stand hostage for the quality, obviousness, quip-free nature or actualscholarly classifications of the included items. Thats yours to chew through and muddle over.Some may be shown here to showcase others and/or for completeness. Enjoy! And pleaseforgive any imbalances with sexual or worldly innuendos. But, unlike you and my scribe, as aeunuchized Ox, not provided with a harem to guard and/or udders to suck and chat up, I knowlittle of such matters. Perhaps, that is why I find words & pictures, instead of cows, soTITillating, so sexy . . . . Butt enough B.S. (or is that O.S.?)! Lets sink our teeth into thismoronic meat loaf and get to the jugular of the matter, so all of my vain slurping shall not havebeen in, or miss the, vein!
