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

(Good tip: stick blu-tak blob on taboo button as warning signal!)

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.

As M. Simpson might say, if his nationality was Gaulish, "mmmmmmm, chocolat."

M. Simpson? his?

Oui, M. Simpson. Say it in Gaulish - "M. Simpson", or "M. H. Simpson."

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.

_Two_ things to shun??

I know only #1: fifth in alpha-list.

What am I missing?

(Oh, and Bravo, too!)

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.

Wofa:

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 thought to avoid Miss Interpretation by hazarding to spell "whisky" "whisky" -- but then, the better of it.

I did not say I did not, but only once the words were writ did I notice, thought the better of it, then the better of that. You see, zwei seele wohnen in meiner Brust: Louis et George; Catherine et Victoria.

Nay, passing 98 posts was my fault--sorry. Is it okay, now that Pg. 2 can buzz-buzz (hint--what that stands for?) click'd on?

Sí, IP. I, too, am posting past 98 posts, but was not first to do so. No spanks for you for that. Jacki wants spanks for that. IP has spanks coming for using many taboo signs.
