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.

I am not up to your task
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

and linking to a distinct string on funny signs, an apt sign for this location. On a ski-lift cabin "Last control of slops 16:30"

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"

All for naught doth Spart-orb post maxims for this play.
This non-unanimous AWAD group think of controls as a trial of skill to assay modifications of a difficult task.
p.s. Talk of skill. Brigid good for you.
