Sexless


Sometimes even x-rated love-affairs endure sans sex.

tswum coudn't stand it any longer, so he said: "well that's fine; but how do you pronounce OPPS?!
sorry, this one *really bothers me."

____________________________________________-

I'm sorry I said "opps" instead of oops", tsuwm.
I promise that if I ever type "opps" again it will simply be to annoy.

Bye-the-bye, Tsuwm, not that it matters, but does it hurt your nicely manicured little finger to capitalize?
Or is that just one of your few affectations?

as a matter of fact, it does. I very little ROM in my left ring or pinky fingers. fortunately there is little call for Zs and not much for Qs and I have almost no ego left.

and, as you asked so very nicely, the problem is called CRPS. YCLIU.

"Complex regional pain syndromes are painful conditions that usually affect the distal part of an upper or lower extremity and are associated with characteristic clinical phenomena (see Table 1 below). There are two subtypes -- CRPS Type I and CRPS Type II.

The term "complex regional pain syndrome" was introduced to replace the term "reflex sympathetic dystrophy." CRPS Type I used to be called reflex sympathetic dystrophy. CRPS Type II used to be called causalgia. The terminology was changed because the pathophysiology of CRPS is not known with certainty. It was determined that a descriptive term such as CRPS was preferable to "reflex sympathetic dystrophy" which carries with it the assumption that the sympathetic nervous system is important in the pathophysiology of the painful condition."

Good one inselpeter, it certainly is zany.

But then I wondered...if zeppelins are not yo-yos, then who is? I tossed, I turned, then it hit me!
As always the truth was encrypted within the term.

outhful optimism unbreaks torn hearts.

And say, mister tsuwm, while thinking about young people I coined a worthless word for worthless teenagers.
As in...

All lazy, hip-hop,ineffectual, teenagers are youthless.

Get it "youthless"! Its a play on "useless". Is it useless enough for your worthless list?

I'm practicing my cross-threading. If you look across the way at the "Funda" thread, you will see that wofahulicodoc wrote "I'm going arbitrarily to throw out HAGLIDE and from the rest blindly choose K, even though some body else already did." This was in the "voting" for a game of Hogwash. At first, I thought that HAGLIDE must be a word, maybe a good one with which to play Hogwash, until I figured out that those were the letters attached to the definitions he was rejecting. Instead of putting them down in alphabetical order, he made a word out of them. So I used that word to make a "thingie" in Consuelo's thread about sentences made out of words beginning with each successive letter in a word, a word like "HAGLIDE" f'rinstance.

Jah, I know. I need to get a life and apply my meagre talents to more constructive ends. I'll try harder. [mumbling to himself emoticon]

>I'm practicing my cross-threading yada-yada...

oh, we (or at least I) understood all that; but I was wondering how the word in question got into a game whose very reason of state has to do with words flowing from one post to the (very) next, I wondered.

>reference - either Anu or tsuwm

we deny any knowledge of such a word and believe it was made up on the spot;
a nattering nascent nonsense nonce non-word, as it were.

or, it were a typo for...
tholing? (suffering, enduring)
throbbing??
thobbing?! (don't cry, Milo)

Dear tsuwm,

You and Anu must get out of the house more often...

e.g. a fool with an infiniate ability to thob.
Note: like thigging, thobing becomes a intransitive verb.

Edit Interesting discussion, guys, but it's cluttering up the word game. Would it be possible to move it to Miscellany? Much grass

No. Insel himself forgot an "s" in one of his own entries, and many, many people were kind enough to point this out to him publicly. A lesson he obviously remembered. BTW, what's an angilican?

Its insepeters fault, he made me hurry.

For your information Max, the Aniglicans are a minor sect of the English Anglican Church that serves the backward regions of down under.

They can't spell well.

Seldom counted, although relatively common?

Elections.

The move was illegal, because it didn't follow Max's, which came just before it (at least, not that I could see).

I propose a rule that asides should be discouraged, but -- where unavoidable (seldom, hopefully) -- allowed only in the context of play: no one should post commentary if it doesn't follow a move in the same post).

Sure, inselpeter, I would gladly follow the rule if I understood the rule.

Nice word, etaoin, if somewhat overused in day-to-day conversation.

Idappaccayata

I don't appreciate people picking at Consuelo 'cause all youse awaders talk awful.


Note: the game definition of idappaccayata is given in the sentence above by example.
You see, it is inherent within the very act of talking awful that causes Consuelo to feel that she is being picked upon.

But the question remains, Great Buddha, does she enjoy it? ____ ()

(1) Did everyone look-up inselpeter's comment?
Inselpeter only...unders
tands "sporking".

( Duel entries lets individuals circumvent inselpeter's official, un-sporken, standards.)

delicious definition

(2) Dining exoticly, like in Conisbrough, Ivanhoe overeats unicorn steaks.


So...? I was in a hurry!
