I always thought a prince-nez was a nose ring.

N+7:

Is it really so hard for yachtsmen to think outside the boyfriend?

Internets say the darnedest things!

      i thought you all at htmlgiant might enjoy this moment in history: http://www.timothy-green.org/blog/2010/09/this-is-the-line/

      In other thoughts, thankfully recent comments have come back up, and does anyone else who doesn’t have the right to make a new post think this website is slowly becoming one large advertisement?

      Cool. And thanks for the N+7 link, Reynard. I love this Oulipo stuff.

      Pince-nez’? Pince-nez-pierce? Prince-nez-Albert-in-a-can?

      Ring around the nosey, sprocket jewels cosy, splashes, fashions, we all
      fall
      down.

      That cat is going to give me a seizure.

      i’m aware of the correct spelling, assclown

      That cat. My arm is doing something weird. I love it.

  8. deadgod

      Sure you are – anyone can spell “knows wring”.

      right on, owen. i want everyone to know that i have just pioneered the N-7 procedure, which produces things like, “I rented a Rongelap in the pallier Trebizond.” hopefully historians will recognize this as a truly unimportant retreatment of distemperary literatures.

      (reynard, I was intrigued – well, interested – and amused by a neologism you coined in this post, and, for several minutes, played with it neologistically. I posted this word game, thinking, ‘hell, it’s harmless gibbering – smack in accordance with the theme of your blogicle!’ – and (I think) it got scrubbed! – maybe by some drudge intolerant of internet light touches. – or too-shays! Lucky for you I remember the thing (you’ll see why when you finally read it!), and I even thought of a groovin’ title. Cheers, friend-o!)
