I posit to sport on this board, by placing posts in this location which always avoid a particular symbol, which is on your input board just right of “W.” A most difficult trial, as it sounds as if a writing of a Bard of Stratford on Avon, but I know that you all - so highly smart - will win out gloriously.
And so a topic: hmmmmm. How about: yard work.
Today, my husband and I did start swimming pool work, to off a pool lid and untaint H2O in it. It was most ucky, with a color as of grass, and I found many animals, including frogs (bull, spots, and additional) and long, slinky animals without arms. And I found two skins of such slinky animals. And a baby animal which inhabits its own hull; two, actually, and of box kind.
What did you do today?

SpartI, our lingo has a word for this. tsuwm should know; I forgot -- an 80s (?) book and translation from the original Frog was wrought in such a fashion. I am not up to your task; only to say I think yard work is good. Would that I could; that work which I did today, within four walls, was boring.

Nor am I. SpartI asks, "what did you do today?" Almost nothing, today (Monday) is but young. I am now off to work, calling folk to discuss ads about good and bad driving habits. That is all for now, I must go.
postscript I must ask pardon for the colour, it was not in10tional.

smart substitution of frog, ms anna; at first blush i didn't think you'd thought of this man i'm pond'ring ( ). anyhow, a googlization of mr frog's common tag shows us that most apropos word "lipogram". (um, this is a most difficult form of communication, btw) ps: url's don't count http://www.themodernword.com/scriptorium/perec.html

Uh-Oh!
AnnaS has put on this post a taboo symbol.
And MQ has so, too, in a postscript.
B96 also, although B96 posits that URLs don't count; but no - no taboo symbol may occur.
To confirm omission of a taboo symbol, ALT+f to look for it.
And now, I must inflict sanctions. I say to you violators, transform this into a no taboo symbol translation:
AnnaS -> Mary Had a Small Lamb MQ -> Mary, Mary, Fairly Contrary B96 -> Old Mama Hubbard
If you must, to obtain original words, contact this author by that-which-I-cannot-say mail.
I would assign dissimilar sanctions, such as spanks, but I think that many mans on this board would fight to submit to such as to stunning B96.

B96 -> Old Mama Hubbard
pursuant to spartacus' instruction:
Old Mama Hubbard Ran to a cupboard To afford a poor dog a calcium-rich organic matrix.
Alas, upon said arrival Said cupboard was without occupation And so poor mr. dog had to go hungry.
Mama took a sparkling dish To look for an amount of stomach lining But upon mama's arrival Mr. Dog was smoking a joint
So, Mama trots out to a Vons to buy him a ration of fruit But upon mama's arrival Mr Dog was playing a grand piccolo
Mama asks Mr. Pillsbury if a crusty loaf could do But upon mama's arrival That poor dog was stiff as a board.
So mama hops to a woodsmith To buy him a coffin; But upon mama's arrival That poor thing was laughing.
So mama frolicks to a hatsmith to buy him a hat But upon mama's arrival Mr. Dog was nourishing his buddy Sir Cat.
So, mama did a curtsy Mr. Dog did a bow; Mama said "Your Sycophant" Mr. Dog said "Bow wow!"
PS: *pout*... i wish i was AnnaS; what an opportunity for anu's "albus"

"S't'ruth" found as a cry in many myths from Britain.S't'ruth (oft with varying combinations of writing marks) is a cry in habitual (but diminishing) custom in UK. From "God's Truth" . Rod And ROD sins again and again and again and again*, in blatant violation of what is tabooI stand guilty M'lud. I saw a summary of communications and did not absorb that particular taboo topic as I did put into words my paragraph of insight on "S't'ruth". In apology I vow to brush up all violations of such taboo which this community doth commit but only on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Rod (in sackcloth and much ash)

Ack! Ack! Ack! Wow has said what is taboo, in talking to Max. Jim has said it too, on his part signifying his individuality. And ROD sins again and again and again and again*, in blatant violation of what is taboo. "Out, out! Damn spot!" I say. Do not apply that symbol in this spot; go to an additional spot to do your foul work. As for charming B96, who transforms Old Mama Hubbard with surpassing art, KUDOS! KUDOS! And still, nobody says to Sparts, what you did in your yard this past Sunday. Boohoo. ======= * and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again.

That I can do. I did nothing in my yard on Sunday. I had to work on Sunday morn, using that which Mr A. Graham B. did form first. Following lunch it was off to worship, following which was supping with companions good, and thus was daylight past.

Work ? No way! Today was so fun. I did nothing. What sport! I think I shall do nothing again tomorrow. Why not? As my old pal Will Durant always said, nothing is occasionally a good thing to do, and always a good thing to say. That is a good saying from Will. Actually, I cannot say it now just as Will actually said it, but this is almost it. If you want to know what was said by him, you could LOOK IT UP. Try it! So long, you guys and gals! What fun it is to laugh and sing and talk this way. I also add "Good work, Cara Brigid!, as usual!

I'd add that I avoid yard work at all costs, primarily through not owning grounds of my own. My baby and I and my baby's mom just pay a monthly amount to our landlord, and that nasty yard work is his duty! Raking things that fall from limbs of big plants is a particularly unhappy duty that I unfondly think about from my childhood. And I don't want to think about mowing lawns! What a bad job that is!
It is difficult to avoid that symbol that is just right of "w". I must look into that lipogrammatic book by thX man from that country by Spain. What a task to craft a full book of this!
PS. I now am a "man on a long trip" and not a "unfamiliar individual" to this board! Huzzah for Flatlandah (local pronunication)!

All is OK in ardor and conflict with arms; only a taboo symbol must you avoid - by what tool is of your own choosing.
Only, Flatlandah has mistook his task, and so did post a taboo symbol. Oops! Mayhaps Flats will favor us with a transformation of "Blink, Blink, Small Star."
And wow, you too did stray. How about a translation of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat"?
Avoiding taboos is an utmost trial!

Flats is sorry, in truth. A dastardly typo and I must craft a difficult translation. In original lingo, "Blink Blink" has a multiplicity of parts, so I transform only half-six parts for your approval, Ms. Spartorb, thus:
Blink, blink, small star What, in fact, is your form? Up atop our world so high As a diamond in that sky
As blazing sun from sight did go As soon as sun's rays do not glow At that point you show your small light Blink, blink, all of that night Blink, blink, small star What, in fact, is your form?
At that point a pilgrim in that dark Thanks you for your tiny spark His way would not loom into sight If you did not blink just right Blink, blink, small star What, in fact, is your form?
I could not put similar sounding words as a tail to all portions of my translation, but I was striving for it. Art thou up to your task, wow?

I thank you, Buck-tan for your acclaim (and I blush at your osculation ). A similar kiss to you for thinking up this sport! This lipogrammatic communication is difficult but fun. Following a span of crafting posts without that-which-I-cannot-say, as I look at posts out of this string, I look at that taboo symbol as if it was in crimson! Do any AWAD individuals know "La Disparition" (that lipogrammatic book)? I think its translation is "A Void" by a Mr. Adair. I think that in its original francais it is not obvious that it contains no taboo symbols, but I do not know that country's lingo to say on my own. What is yard work's worst task, according to you all?

Uprooting plants that grow wild– and so spoil my plan. Broad fauna among grassy swaths –in all forms–or just as bad, doing it again- in ground dug up, (and down) to form artist displays of un common flora. I opt for flora that displays color, form and aroma with contrasting traits uprooting common wild things with that grow long tap roots and do willfully spoil my stabs at form is most difficult

Truth, of troy. Pulling up tooth-of-lion blossom is odious. And so many, many such stand proudly in my yard. I told my son (who is amid two and four) to pick as many as my son might want, and I did hand two blossoms to him, but my son did anguish and put both blossoms back among grass with much thought and caution. So much for that plan.

Fun play at this location; I think I know how mayhap.
I was calling to mind this: Out in Gaia's Abundant Arachnids' Land is an author of a publication for solicitors. To avoid prudish folks' blocking transport of his work, a word that marks that lascivious act of child-making is writ "six," or "sax," or such.
What did I in my yard Sunday last?
I spun wool to yarn.

Poor is my inclination of mind in this ... but I try!
Row, row, row your boat Mildly down the rill, Happily, happily happily, Anima is a thrill.

Row, row, row your boat Mildly down the brook, Happily, happily happily, Anima's but a look.

In Nfld., soil has much acid and much rock (but is not musical!). My colourful plants thus grow amid flat rock and small rock, and many plants-that-grow-wild. (Justification for calling my island "th' Rock").
But, my tulips and daffodils finally display colour, and form bright spots in foggy days, as did occur during last six-plus-unity days! I am afraid my young basil was burnt by a vigorous sunbath on Sunday, and I must bury small pips again, for a not-first try!

Eee, eee, I finally get to pass on the amazing (to me) piece of info. that was taught to me here (by tsuwm, if I recall correctly).
Yes, you can view it in threaded mode. I just did, for half a second. Go up to the page address and click on it. Using your "go left" arrow, run it back until you come to the word flat, as in showflat. Backspace to delete the flat, and type in threaded, so that the word becomes showthreaded. Hit Enter or Go, and voilà: threaded mode.

This posting, along with all its pals, has to stay "flat-only," as it has had a limitation thrust upon it. You couldn't look at it any way _but_ flat without flaunting that spirit! It would be a violation. You can't avoid it. It's intrinsic, in a way.
Flat is good. Today, anyway!

Such an irritant. Happily, my uxorial companion will pass many a joyful hour in pursuit of a luscious lawn.
Today was busy for my brain and digits, as I got an additional tasking. I sat in front of a monitor for six and a half straight hours, studying two unfamiliar programs and kinship amongst a trio of big groups of data upon which said programs function. Towards day's finish, I took to tapping buttons, but did not finish this job. It could span months.

What did I do in my yard this Sunday? I was not in my yard, but that long sandy swath on a small island off coast of Rich Port. That salty H2O was blinky and colorific, akin to lapis lazuli, that sand akin to sugar and warm. Wind in my palm things that drop coconuts my hammock did sway. My lips an arc did form and joy was my company.

Last Sunday was a day of work for this author, first to put in bag all Parish Council monthly moot things. Following that, to find from books what I must say on this coming Saturday and Sunday, at Alston Hall School for Adults, about Victorian and C19 ways of passing days and hours of not-working. This is hard, but fun. Around forty adult scholars will pass Thursday through Monday at this School, with four tutors. Accomodation and food is of high quality, as is post-prandial drinks in a small bar!!

Con, your days abroad did you good, this is obvious.
Rhub, during this span of hours away, is Spring and its connotations part of said Victorian ritual? Por favor, hoist a post-prandial libation in hono(u)r of all things good.

I was not in my yard, but that long sandy swath on a small island off the coast of the Rich Port. That salty H2O was blinky and colorific, akin to lapis lazuli, that sand akin to sugar and warm. Wind in my palm things that drop coconuts my hammock did sway. My lips an arc did form and joy was my company.
Yeah, Con, but did you enjoy yourself?

Hmmm. As punition, spanking is in doubt. You must carry out additional work on improving sanctions. Taboo symbols propagating and multiplying rapidly.
A sad story of my own: My car, which has for long faithfully brought from location to location not only my body but also my goods that I own, is out of action. A too-much-warming of motor has put it off-road, bringing about my marooning far from my living-location two days ago. Bus was my saviour, although a trip of two hours turning into four is not a good thing. Now my car is far away and old malfunctioning coolant pump must go into a bin, substituting a coolant pump brought from a factory in a big country that occasionally starts world wars. How long must I wait? Who knows.

A puisant sanction is that all using taboo words find that this company finds it ridiculous and laughs. Ostracisation follows and shaming occurs.

With much rounding of look-balls and grinning mouth, I study posts atop. Took aback by taxing protocol but totally buying it. Hast thou noticed similarity most curious to talk of old? Marry, tis a thorough parody of talk antiquity. Now you I task with this rough taunt. Try it in SoCal.

But, orthographical faults apart, dody is right to point out that antiquarian forms of talking show much similarity to this.

You did spot your goof so quickly, dodyskin. A goodly job, that.
I am afraid that I might put a taboo thing in a post, and so inflict on my own mass tauntings, having first did I start this silly occupation.
Today, I did cook candy, of dark brown color and of a flavor of cocoa, so rich and smooth. A pal is visiting tomorrow and did ask for it.

Toady I did visit Carnforth Station, famous for a film "Short Conjunction" starring Miss Johnson and Mr Howard, both film actors. It is now in similar condition to that known from filming it in 1940s, but was for long in a sad condition (as was said film - much lachrymosity occurs on showing it, to this day!)

Today I did watch a film with my darling mama, that film with skull and cross-ulnas, black ship floating in warm H2O around yon Virgin Islands. Swordplay and Yo Ho Ho and rum burning...you know which film. Mama and I couldn't stop laughing. Also half six playing of joining words on a board and counting points. Mama won two of the half six.

Conni - I worship that YoHoHo film! Don't say to anybody (it is hush-hush for just us), but I would sooooo do both Jack and Will. *swoon* I bought a DVD of that film, and will watch it again soon.

I also found that film most amusing - but in this yarn, indication of a particular actor's patromynic is most difficult; this actor took a most major part.

Accounting to pixilation and surplus of java, my tiny mind saw posts from April 9 and thought additional taboo was laid upon us: word “not.” Am I right or is a chiropractor pulling my fibula?
Anybody waxing dactylic out in AWAD-land? Ditty was amusing. Thank you for kudos!

Ah, I know now what you thought, Javapit. Post on April 9 saying, "Taboo symbol now is not" said that an original taboo symbol in a prior post did go away ... BMarduk did adjust it.

(thus exempt from the proscription contemplated)
One could interpret "not" as meaning "no T" and use that as a self-imposed limitation. Haven't played with it but it looks at first glance quite limiting.
Lessee, now, how about a brief essay using said icon as goal of avoidance. Hmmm. Hard saying various ways of "no," hard avoiding all specific non-masculine/non-feminine pronouns, no way of using very-very-common-nine-minus-six-icon word...indeed, overall perhaps even more confining when compared versus prior avoidings...

To work a yard! for man -- or woman -- still might stalk in grass of this cold block of dying orbits who for want of gin-sod suck a yard of work might look much in fashion. Oh, but how to count that lay of ground our poor downtrod did plough and plant, cut and tidy? For count that dungworm, man -- or woman, boss or lacky must, if pay was first in bargain struck You think I fib? So say: what, if not spousal shark with whip or pan, brings human to so inhuman plight as mows by day, moans not by night? Gin! O! Gin! Thy lust turns man -- or woman -- ash! For who can drink not paying cash?

I posit to sport on this board, by placing posts in this location which always avoid a particular symbol, which is on your input board just right of “W.” A most difficult trial, as it sounds as if a writing of a Bard of Stratford on Avon, but I know that you all - so highly smart - will win out gloriously.
