How quickly can you find out what is unusual about this paragraph? It looks so ordinary that you would think that nothing was wrong with it at all and, in fact, nothing is. But it is unusual. Why? If you study it and think about it you may find out, but I am not going to assist you in any way. You must do it without coaching. No doubt, if you work at it for long, it will dawn on you. Who knows? Go to work and try your skill. Par is about half an hour.

Discussing Jim is most fun. For Jim thinks Jim is a tugboat captain.

Jim might do such a thing but it would go against many local laws, and Jim is no villain.

OK, it's straightforward logic - a topic for discussion is ultra important. How about:

1.Tugboats - for or against?

2. Chizz tha roolz!

3. Do you enjoy marzipan?

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Monday, 2 August 2004 05:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Tugboats, classic, says Huck, striking a match against his stubbly chin.

― Huck, Monday, 2 August 2004 05:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know why, but I want to try again. South of Canada's national sport allows up to 3 fuckups, so why not this post-listing too?

I am into tugboats. also a song by an old Boston trio (think of an old car) talks about a wish to act as a "tugboat captain". a good song that is.

Chizzing the rools is no fun, btw.

marzipan is akin to plasticy shit.

― Elliot (Elliot), Monday, 2 August 2004 06:02 (twenty-one years ago)

this boston trio you talk of, did it contain...i got nothing. Adam Ant. Laura Palmer. things folks go by is not hard, but actual word hard, synonyms too

― huck, Monday, 2 August 2004 06:07 (twenty-one years ago)

that shows how long it took to post.

At first I thought this was fun, but now I think it probably isn't. Also, it's proving far too difficult, as I go on. In Finnish, such a task wouldn't sound as hard as it is for you; said symbol isn't as common as in your linguistics. But, if you would try to not to apply "i" in a Finnish composition, you might find this most difficult for a mission.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 2 August 2004 09:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Do I win an award? I don't think any post in this discussion is as big as my submission is (I'm not counting Aaron's writing, which obviously isn't an original composition by him). Or should I call this a fight of brains and wits? Now you can all try to outwit my linguistic skills!

In my youth I was told that, in Anglo writing, you can apply a comma in almost any spot you want to. That isn't right, right? I find your comma laws kinda confusing, still; in Finnish it is a strict linguistic law that controls how a comma acts.

"Is that book "A Void" any good? What's it about?"

"A Void" is about Anton Vowl, who is missing. Slain or just put away, nobody knows, but a similar void now looms for his pals as that group frantically hunts A Void's lost protagonist. Anton is missing also a singular ABC, which graphic mark ought to form part of a sound Vowl and a common "Vowl" sound.

Arranging for many such omissions in this book is our lurking author, a lipogrammatic artist and assassin who both plots Vowl's doom and plucks his customary signatorial pictograph.

This is a citation from "A Void":

"Noon rings out. A wasp, making an ominous sound, a sound akin to a klaxon or a tocsin, flits about. Augustus, who has had a bad night, sits up blinking and purblind. Oh what was that word (is his thought) that ran through my brain all night, that idiotic word that, hard as I'd try to pun it down, was always just an inch or two out of my grasp - fowl or foul or Vow or Voyal? - a word which, by association, brought into play an incongruous mass and magma of nouns, idioms, slogans and sayings, a confusing, amorphous outpouring which I sought in vain to control or turn off but which wound around my mind a whirlwind of a cord, a whiplash of a cord, a cord that would split again and again, would knit again and again, of words without communication or any possibility of combination, words without pronunciation, signification or transcription but out of which, notwithstanding, was brought forth a flux, a continuous, compact and lucid flow: an intuition, a vacillating frisson of illumination as if caught in a flash of lightning or in a mist abruptly rising to unshroud an obvious sign - but a sign, alas, that would last an instant only to vanish for good."

Okay, so this post shall omit that symbol which "F" and "G" sandwich. From start to finish. So far, I'm not finding this such a difficult task. Shit, this is fun!

Goddammit, I just took six hours away from my day to do this!

― Slim Pickens (Slim Pickens), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 05:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Christ! That was two hours ago and I'm still thinking about it!

― Slim Pickens (Slim Pickens), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 05:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Just kidding.

― Slim Pickens (Slim Pickens), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 05:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Oughtn't you do a worthy activity?

This is just silly.

― Which Describes How You're Feeling All the Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 05:14 (twenty-one years ago)

In truth, it's a turn-on.

― Slim Pickens (Slim Pickens), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 05:15 (twenty-one years ago)

In all truth, I just got this in a mail at work:

Hi,
Could you commit this asap?
Thank you.

I want to start an ILx board with this as its motif.

― Which Describes How You're Feeling All the Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 05:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, how I miss that most common symbol now. Although...making do without it is so naughty.

― Slim Pickens (Slim Pickens), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 05:21 (twenty-one years ago)

I concur.

― Which Describes How You're Feeling All the Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 05:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Argh. Now I'm actually thinking in words that don't contain this symbol. It's as though my brain was on automatic, and it's fucking distracting. Frustration abounds &c.

― Which Describes How You're Feeling All the Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 05:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, most awful ruling! How will I buy my drugs now?

"I n-
"do you hav-
"FIFTH l-

Oh, I know!

"a...b...c...d...and now THAT. A bottl- oh, you KNOW how much."

― Slim Pickens (Slim Pickens), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 05:28 (twenty-one years ago)

That's how I'd do it. "Can I buy a box of your top quality cold and 'flu medication, if you don't mind? Many thanks, stout lady."

― Which Describes How You're Feeling All the Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 05:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Stout Lady: "Uh..."

― Which Describes How You're Feeling All the Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 05:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Damn, girl! That booty is STOUT! Got any marijuana?

― Slim Pickens (Slim Pickens), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 05:34 (twenty-one years ago)

"Boy, you got a lot of balls to say that. Want to do a j?"

― Slim Pickens (Slim Pickens), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 05:35 (twenty-one years ago)

You know it, lady! Am I just high or is your booty stout AND smokin'?

― Slim Pickens (Slim Pickens), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 05:36 (twenty-one years ago)

"Put your hands up, chump! I'm gonna rob you."

That wasn't a bong in her handbag...

― Slim Pickens (Slim Pickens), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 05:37 (twenty-one years ago)

shit

― Slim Pickens (Slim Pickens), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 05:37 (twenty-one years ago)

"Or what about a tab of... uh... that drug you swallow that incurs an 'up' mood. Starts with a symbol of our form of communication that I cannot say, and is commonly known by that symbol. Found at many a big party. Humans known to stop living, having drank too much natural liquid, causing drowning. Fuck. Just supply it NOW, bitch."

― Which Describes How You're Feeling All the Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 05:40 (twenty-one years ago)

That took waaaaay too long.

― Which Describes How You're Feeling All the Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 05:40 (twenty-one years ago)

That's what a LADY said. (Almost as good as using a pronoun, right?)

― Slim Pickens (Slim Pickens), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 05:44 (twenty-one years ago)

A woman with particularly stout thighs, too. And buns of a wondrous sort. A lucky man is you tonight!

― Slim Pickens (Slim Pickens), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 05:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm on my way to Arizona
it's a land of cowboys who play.
Do nothing but shoot my gun,
I'll do it all throughout our day!

A cold snap's coming, all too soon
This hot air will soon cool off and vanish,
My pals and I will stay so warm
Living off the carbs of this sugary danish.

I'm on my way to Arizona,
But I gotta gallop through Utah and Colorado first.
As soon as I cross its boundary mark,
I can finally satisfy my thirst!

Pants.

Hark, a proposal: any individuals caught using this illicit symbol must stop posting in this topic. Last human standing wins.

― The Dreaded Rear Admiral (Leee), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 22:20 (twenty-one years ago)

What's that, Almanac?

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 22:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Also, domination of my titular calling by this illicit symbol turns alluding to my indvidual to difficulty. How can you folk say that I'm OTM now? I'm sad.

― The Dreaded Rear Admiral (Leee), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 22:26 (twenty-one years ago)

What's that, Almanac?

Nothing.

― Which Describes How You're Feeling All the Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 22:27 (twenty-one years ago)

That is to say, an additional stipulation, about my first post.

As I am typing, I'm maintaining my manual digits in such a way that my non-right hand's third digit acts only on low rows.

― The Dreaded Rear Admiral (Leee), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 22:32 (twenty-one years ago)

No you're not.

― Which Describes How You're Feeling All the Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 22:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Who's not?

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 22:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Um, you. I think. I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE.

― Which Describes How You're Feeling All the Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 22:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Say that again? I zap you with boo-boos!

― The Dreaded Rear Admiral (Leee), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 22:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't WANT to say it again. I'm SULKING.

― Which Describes How You're Feeling All the Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 22:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Just talk a lot of trash. Man, it's nuthin' to start spoutin' off without that stupid icon. Thanks for that cool tip, yo!

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 22:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Bah, I scorn your smart-typing ability.

― Which Describes How You're Feeling All the Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 3 August 2004 22:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Yo dog, it's crucial I grab that dank nug you got in hiding. It's got to last until Friday, so cut kindly a big old fourth. I don't give a shit if it runs a fucking G-spot 'cuz I got hot-ass girls at my pad, and pot's Spanish fucking fly to broads of this lowly class.

― x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 02:52 (twenty-one years ago)

What would you know about hot girls? You and your silly hubris, pack it in and sod off.

Innit.

― Which Describes How You're Feeling All the Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 02:55 (twenty-one years ago)

You don't do what with a shit, x j?

― Pleasant Plains (Pleasant Plains), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 03:00 (twenty-one years ago)

ouch. pwn'd.

― Ian c=====8 (orion), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 03:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Son, a word or two to your unkindness: do unto all things as all things may do unto you. That's the Au. law, though it's known by various cults as various things.

― x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 03:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Also, it's said that an amazing quality/trait is stopping from admitting all that you know, holding cards tight to your torso, and giving your combatant no ammo with which to work. Although, if a fallacy isn't corrected, your opponent may be bound to repeat it as many as eight times!

― x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 03:12 (twenty-one years ago)

To go on, or not go on -- that's a quandary:
Is it nobility of mind to stomach
All slings and arrows thrown by wild Fortuna
Or brandish arms against a mass of hardship,
And by opposing stop it? Dying -- dozing --
That's all; and by a nap to say to stop
What's painful, and a thousand natural shocks,
that cross of mortals. 'Tis a consummation
alluring to our minds. Dying -- dozing --
Dozing -- mayhap with visions: ay, a catch!
For in that fatal nap, what sights may show
upon our shuffling off this mortal coil,
Must cool our wish.

― OleM (OleM), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 03:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh Ole, do say that you just thought that up right on the spot, and didn't borrow it from anybody.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 06:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Whoops, you shouldn't post Mr. O's full namn if you want to avoid that horrid symbol.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 06:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Contrast:

Living or not living, that is my inquiry
If 'tis worthy in comparison in your mind to succumb
To slings and arrows of shocking karma
Or to carry arms against a briny of tribulations
And by opposing, finish that group.

― Sam (chirombo), Wednesday, 4 August 2004 07:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh Ole, do say that you just thought that up right on the spot, and didn't borrow it from anybody.

Um, it took an hour or so, but no copying, no -- although I thought of transcribing that particular soliloquy upon knowing of its inclusion in that pomo book.

(If I may say so, I think my prosody slightly trumps that of my rival bard -- is it from that book?)

Vacation, I'm onna vacation
Vacation, Got to git awayyyyyyy

Coming back to this lot is always a joy. I am truly glad to know about Lt. Kingfish's vacation - it will roXor, no doubt!

It's fun arising to find this is still going.

Naturally this discussion is languishing without any contributions. What say that it's bumped to the top of IL(_) for a third or fourth go-round?

― x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Thursday, 5 August 2004 01:53 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm on holiday in a portion of this month, starting Monday.

...that was difficult to construct.

― Which Describes How You're Feeling All the Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 5 August 2004 01:56 (twenty-one years ago)

JCoombs, your diction is poor vis-à-vis your doing word, along with an inclusion of a common word. Thus, you fail and I ZAP YOU.

― Jimmy Carter, History's Greatest Monster (Leee), Thursday, 5 August 2004 04:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Good gracious, ass is bodacious!

― Slim Pickens (Slim Pickens), Thursday, 5 August 2004 05:07 (twenty-one years ago)

ass has its attractions, that's right, but I don't go for it.

― MarkH (MarkH), Thursday, 5 August 2004 09:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Ass can't go for that, no can do, ass can't go for that!

You want my body and now you want my soul...
