So far I'm having one of those days when I feel like standing on a street corner shouting in an unknown tongue making esoteric gestures that mean nothing to anyone who isn't me.

I won't do it, though.

I'm such a wimp.

You could develop it as a form of street theater, and get a grant from the National Endowment For The Arts.

I am visualizing this even as I cannot visualize that.
An unknown language to the listener or to everyone including you?
An esoteric gesture to you and you alone or would there be
anyone else who might comprehend that?
If that were the case why do you need an unknown language
since you wouldnt be communicating with anyone?
I think everything has a meaning unique to the utterer which
might differ and be perceived as something almost similar
to what the utterer wishes to convey or the other end of
the spectrum of perception where the meaning is totally incomprehensible.
One more thing comes to mind after reading ken's response.
I remember seeing street performers doing the mime and
other side shows on the streets of Amsterdam and paris
(near the champs-elysees).Some of these were rivetting
despite no sounds or even any gesturing.
I think I ought to sleep instead of trying to make you get
a headache trying to figure what I am trying to say.
