    Hyperacoustic musicotherapy counteractingly psychostimulates milquetoasty subpersonality.

    Thanks for the Eckler sentence, oroboros. I wonder if it's possible to construct a six word sentence with euryvocalics. I nominate psychostimulate as the verb.

    Can I pitch pitch for your Autantonyms lists?

    Hi, oroboros, yes, I meant "demo" (demolish) as "tear down" versus "demo" (demonstrate, promote) as "build up". The fanfeel is mutual. I've mined quite a few of your lists.

    Not from Ojai or Santa Barbara, but I've spent some quality time there.

    I've seen two references to ipn-iee in your comments. What is that?

    Thanks for the comics crossword puzzle, oroboros. I forwarded it to a couple of cartoonist friends.

    For you, maybe--never seems to work when I try it. ;-P

    I think you're all Liszting to starboard a bit. ;-)

    It was the Liszt they could do!

    Babar and Paradise Lost? Now there's something for all the family.
  • over 1 year ago prolagus said
    Best thing to do on a rainy Friday in a lagomorph's (therefore, humble) opinion: a visit to the Morgan Library and Museum*, to see an exhibition on Babar and the manuscript of Paradise lost**.

    *Where I am right now.
    **I don't know what it is, maybe the original screenplay of the TV series. But it looks pretty old.

    Thanks, O! I'll check out your Flickr site. Something to look forward to on a rainy Friday. :-)

    Oroboros, your facebook link is broken, and your blog can be added to your "also on" list (blogger). See faq...

    Yes, I know about grawlixes. I use them sparingly --mostly because I haven't created a unique grawlix combo that appeals to me.

    Because there are fewer restrictions about which words are "taboo" in the comics, many cartoonists don't need to use them as often. I think grawlixes work best when a cartoonist wants a reader to use his or her imagination (about what a character is saying) instead of just masking a "bad word".

    I've only seen Mort Walker once, but I distinctly remember that he didn't have any grawlixes following him around.

    Thank you! Having done all those citations I'll be gentle with what I add ;)

    Hi O: Check fracteur again. I may have uncovered a clue for you. :-)

    bridgework may be a good word but it's not 10 different letters

    I can't say as I've heard dinkum oil more than once or twice in my life. I would take it to mean the lowdown, the inside story, the nitty gritty, something like that. Probably along the lines of oil as in essential oil; dinkum means genuine.

    Thanks for catching my mispelling the word opsimath. What could be compelling, when preaching the need to learn, then to mispell the key word. Thankfully, I was not instructing bungee jumping or snake charming

    Thanks for catching the error in my tag for cheerlessness, oroboros. I generally don't list words like cheerlessnesses. They're correctly formed, and sometimes listed in dictionaries (in this case MW3), but no one actually uses them. Although I do have a list for words created in dictionaries...

    Love with hickbonics. Each one on the list made me smile and smile.

    Thanks! You've made several lists I was thinking of making and I'm enjoying prowling through them. I've linked your Phonetic Alphabet to my Letters list.
