Creationism Pank style

Shouldn’t there be a word for that moment – when you walk into a club or show and you’re certain it is where you are supposed to be, taste something incredible and realize how it just shaped your life or saw a massive scene unfold that you knew you would never forget. Love words! And it seems like there are a boatload of romance languages that get it and have a word or phrase for these things. Something better than ‘killer’ ‘awesome’ or ‘badass’ to lend weight to uppermost points that inform your psyche or soul.

In a science class once the Teacher made us all do an exercise where we put hands into a box that had a variety of objects plastic wrapped and sealed and we had to guess what they were. Not sure I remember how well I did at it but it was a revelation at the end for me, there was one box we hadn’t used up on the desk and as I asked “what’sinthisbox?!” I shoved my hand through the hole. My hand came out faster than it went in covered with dark red gelatinous muck, and she turned to me and smiled as she said “the heart of a pig”.

That’s when I needed a word, not the expletive I used to describe my shocking, humbling and revelatory experience that got me a week of detention. A word that would have let everyone know I wasn’t angry but just discovered a few important life lessons all at once and I knew it.

1. Don’t stick your uninvited hand into a strange box.
2. Adults may not have your best interest in mind at all times.
3. There may never be another box so you’d better stick your hand in there.
4. I could pull this stunt all over town and probably not get arrested.

So if you’ve got some suggestions send those in, let’s get some more words in the mix around here. How about shartism, or mullniferious?
