13 CommentsThank God for the Philolexian Society, purveyor of pretension and producer of a nifty new little publication called Surgam, for lifting this den of philistines into the light of high-minded pursuits! A goodly group of young ladies and gents stepped out in their best Victorian finery to take the air this afternoon while engaging in a game of croquet, which Wikipedia tells us was an Olympic sport in 1900.
Quite different, Bwog is confident, from these guys.

@croquet players do they get laid
@M.R. Technically speaking Surgam isn’t a nifty ‘new’ little publication since it’s been printed regularly more or less for close to 20 years.
@surgam Actually, hasn’t it been published for a long time? Like a 100 years or something?
@Proud Philo The Philolexian Society has been around since 1802, but the literary magazine Surgam has only existed for about 20 years.
@um bwog get it right isn’t it Surgami? Surgam by itself doesn’t really make any sense..
@surgam Surgam is correct, it’s the philoexian society’s moto. It means I will rise. Surgam is a verb, while surgami is either a noun or an adjective.
@John Crow-Kay’
@Confused! I mean, I knew the answer. I was just trying to satirize the rest of these silly comments, but I guess it didn’t work as well as I had planned. Or maybe it did and made you look sillier.
@Confused! Is it Crow-Kay or Crow-Ket?
These semantics are KILLING me!
@John Wikipedia tellS! Or is the ‘pedia an are the ‘pediae? Scary thought…
@A Quandary Is it pretentious to correct a misspelling of pretension?
@Snarky response No, but rhetorical questions are in and of themselves pretensious.
@Tulane Is it pretenshus to know how to spell?
