As some of you know, our snarky friends at Igor invited me to join them to be filmed for a new documentary for the Discovery Channel, The Joy of Lex. The Hollywood film crew, who camped out for a few days at the Eat My Words client crash pad, told us to watch for it this Fall. In the meantime, I found a description of it online: The Joy of Lex
A show about words and the people who use them.
Billions of people use words, and so do some apes. (Alexandra's note - huh?) Each and every word has its own story, about how it was created, shaped and changed by the generations who've used it. Every word has a secret life of its own; words are constantly in flux, being lost, found, picked apart, abused, overused, relished and relinquished. The Joy of Lex will explore the surprising stories, passions, obsessions, misunderstandings, humor and sometimes shocking characters associated with words. This two-hour special will focus on the two greatest movements in the world of word "ebb" and "flow." (Why doesn't it focus on the two greatest naming firms, Eat My Words and Igor?) As with all of our TV appearances, I'll let you know when the show airs.
