vakkotaur: Centaur holding bow - cartoon (orvan)
[personal profile] vakkotaur


I picked the name Orvan Ox to be alliterative, and not have a name starting with O that is often thought of. I avoided Otto and Oscar and even Oswald. The result works rather well. There is, well, a side effect. Said quickly, Orvan Ox becomes Orvanox. Orvanox sounds like some pharmaceutical in a TV commercial: "Ask your doctor if Orvanox is right for you."

Now I'm wondering what Orvanox would be for and what its side effects might be.

makes you want to work as hard as an ox. I hear that some bosses are putting this in the cooler water.

Do you find yourself using words like "but" even in the most inappropriate circumstances?

Do you find yourself constantly adding clauses to every sentence you speak?

Ask your doctor for advice: you may have conjunctive-itis. But today, there's a cure from Mink Labs: it's Or-vanox. Just one tablet a day, and you'll find your vocabulary will return to normal.

Side effects may include talking like a drunken German professor, or John L.C. Siboney. Be careful not to exceed recommended dosages, or dangling participles may result. Read all directions, stupid. You think we gabble this stuff in the end of ads for our health?

Mink Labs: we're not just about drugs to improve sex.

An antioxidant said to have miraculous effects in prolonging life and slowing the effects of aging: named from 'orphan' and 'oxygen'.

Or, a treatment for dry eyes at night, from dialectic Greek 'orva' the orb and 'nox' the night.
