Book. “A Void.” No typing of it. Originally in Francais. ---

I would call him Sir H. Simpson in this topic if _I_ was to talk about him again. I think I shall. SAY HI TO SIMPSONS Simpson clan is Sir H., a clumsy dad and husband; Lady M., a worrying mom and lady; and a trio of kids: bad Bart, smart Lisa, and a baby, who is also smart. Town of Simpsons has many funny folks, whom you can say “Hi” to Sundays on FOX TV (look at TV grids for TV position and clock position). Damn! Would you look at how difficult it is to not work with a fifth symbol of ABC’s in any sort of thing? ---

And still I think that Dad Simpson could win at this play, saying as Dad Simpson naturally do, “D’oh.” Mayhaps that a simplistic mind calls forth optimum synonyms for any word, as such a brain fix not on a particular word only. But I wouldn’t know, as I own that that which OP bans commands utmost utility. ---

## [ul] ## _Orig. post by Monst._ To nitpick additionally, I’ll point out that ‘S’ also contacts that bad, nasty, faulty, immoral symbol, although it abuts only slightly… * * * _As said prior by moi’_ Also “S”. Though just slightly. ## –SNorth. [/ul] Two minds consonant in thought. Harmonious I also say. ---

**Mobo85** , you, too, did put that sign of no-allowing in your post. I insist that you go making apology to your compatriots, as you did typing of a wrongful sin. Many shamings on you! ---

With valiant bravado, MrV will now try to script a run-on accumulation of words, its only goal to simply stack words upon words, until gravity routs said mountain of circumlocution and it submits to its doom, knowing that that magic, sporadically taciturn symbol’s truancy shrunk its odds of continuing survival to virtually nil, making its loquaciously garrulous spirit a glorious and adroit, but finally vain flourish of opposition to arbitrary grammatical constraints. ---

Gadzooks, what’s this? I thought mayhap my auricular organs mistook, but no. Alas! Alack! **Mobo85** did quoth wrongly. (Good ocular noting, **Spoof** ). What shall all of us do? Bow down and pray for forgiving from that god of horror, that lord of dastardly ascii symbols? O grip us in your torturous hands no mo’! Oh, how I mourn… Is this our doom? or is our salvation at hand? ---

## \*Said SPOOF \* I think all of us should just spank **Mobo85**. **Mobo85** is actually third in that unlawful act, I just found out. First was **Aghris** and following was **AudryK**. Both also misquoth, citing that inglorious symbol – scan again if you don’t think it is so. Spankings all around! Who wants to do said honors? ---

Spank your own bottom, too, **Spoof** , for prior commission of touching that annoying button, on two occasions, and a third. :::Monstr-ous paw poising to dish out spankings for all misconduct violating OP::: ---

Drat, I say! I was making a strict point in my typing… I am supposing that my arousal at sighting that word “adroit” had did switching of “usag-” with “using”. Many billions of apologizations! ::hangs cranium in shaming:: ---

I think mayhaps you post a taboo symbol voluntarily, for to obtain a sanction as is spanking. Kinky is as kinky wants. But I satisfy - whap! whap! whap! - and await additional posts with anticipation. It is to my mind that avoiding a taboo symbol portrays my writing as if of a Bard Most Famous of Stratford on Avon; as a bit of vocabulary from days of a British Monarch, Liz First. And so do it sound to you all, also? ---

_Many billions of apologizations! ::hangs cranium in shaming::_ usag- was only first of your trio.

Upon arriving from a bar with alchohol flowing, I find it not hard to avoid that thing; why is it so hard without that brain stuff flowing naturally? Alcohol is an “omit this thing” avoidal assistant? Why? Brain slow, not up to par, but that thing (glyph) is not around! Simplicity? Fluidity? Clarity with infusion of tap pouring? Curious. Yup, most curious. Carry on. ---
