Post a post in this thread, without using any vowels.
The object of the game is for another Doper to quote your OP, and decipher what it says, by replacing the missing vowels.
The original voweless poster must then judge how accurate the attempted decipher is.
Anyone want to play?

This is somewhat less difficult than the alternate version, which would involve using no consonents, just vowels.
Ouch.

This hurt my brain. Please stop at once. I have a question: I heard that ‘w’ can be a vowel sometimes. When?
This game can be rather difficult when speaking in the first person, or using the first letter of the alphabet.
Have fun!
That was a little difficult, but not too bad… here’s my contribution!

As you can see how the hat off.
Sorry, I kinda ran out of steam there at the end.
“w” cn b vwl whn t s t th nd f dphthngs, sch s “h”, whch hs th sm vwl snd s “hs”.
“w” can be a vowel when it is at the end of diphthongs, such as “how”, which has the same vowel sound as “house”.
Wht th hll s “nc” nd whr s m trnsltn?
“t nc” is “at once”
And your translation is “Shouldn’t we start with something easier?”
I’ll try to clean up the unsolved ones, too –
Shouldn’t we start with something easier?
“W” can be a vowel when it is at the end of diphthongs, such as “H” which has the same vowel sound as “has.” I’m a little confused about the last word.
*Oh…well…let’s see…this could be annoying to play. figure that out!
(ynh)* Focusing on that 6th vowel, I see.
What the hell is “nc” and where is my translation? I cannot answer that question.
Flamsterette_X, sneaky of you to just leave out the first-person pronoun t.
Hey, can we use the twenty-fifth letter of the alphabet if it’s as a consonant? Well, I can tell you that leaving it out of the first sentence made it harder for me to figure out. I still can’t get the last word – if there was another ‘f’ I’d say it was leave out the first-person pronoun of it, but I can’t figure it out as is.
My contribution for the next person:

This game is harder than I orginally thought it would be.
Here’s a question for you: What am I eating right now?
And here’s the answer: York’s Peppermint Patties.
That last part was overly so.

I thought the last line of the previous was “that last part was very easy”…
I can’t imagine trying this game only using consonants.
Ach! My eyes are bleeding!

Your eyes are bleeding???
