ruzuzu Oh, man. I wandered over here after looking up sarcoma on the meaty list. Now I feel like Atreyu's horse Artax. Feb 16, 2012
skipvia That's where I got the term, c_b.
"Don't leave them cold and damp.
Use our buttock straps and penis clamps.
Shur-Flo, Shur-Flo." Oct 11, 2007
chained_bear Have you seen "A Mighty Wind"? I love the penis clamp song. Oct 11, 2007
skipvia Nothing weirds me like "penis clamp." Oct 11, 2007
chained_bear I don't know about the suggested additions. They are scary things, it's true, but I was thinking more about words that, when someone says them to you, and they're about either you or a deeply loved one... what else is there to say? Or do?
I honestly hope there's no other words for me to add to this list--no other words that produce, as uselessness put it, "a sinking feeling of emptiness and horror" (which was quite descriptive, U, thanks).
I'm gonna go read someone's Happy Shiny list now. Feb 20, 2007
reesetee Good suggestions, oroboros. Serious mental incapacities terrify me. Feb 17, 2007
seanahan You can't have a list like this without catheter. Feb 17, 2007
oroboros psychopathy; catatonia ? Feb 17, 2007
reesetee I second that. There are very few feelings worse than a sense of powerlessness. Keeping all digits crossed here. Feb 12, 2007
uselessness It's crazy, I expected to find words like terrorism and serial killer on this list. But your words are actually much scarier than those, probably because there's absolutely nothing we can do about them. It's the panic of inevitability. Reading this list gives be a sinking feeling of emptiness and horror in my gut. :-(
Let's hope you and I are never faced with the (nearly always) futile struggle against the words on this list. Feb 12, 2007
