You have put it so well in your post that I can't do more than grin at your apt and pert line! You play the drum and yet are damn good and word and mind work!

I don't see why the list of words to use can be tiny.
In fact when I play a word game four is the best I can come up with most of the time!
But then the test for us is that we don't have much to say, only an idea of how to say it. This can try the mind.

It is true what you say here. This is in fact the main part that we err on. It is very hard to say even a bit of what you mean when you must use this rule--the "rule of four" let us call it, as the part you mean when you say you can only use four of them is more than four of what it is that you can't use! See what
I mean?

Will this "rule of four" talk ever move on? Let's try.


You know, it used to be that 90 was hot, but now it's nice and cool. How nuts is that? How's the heat in your town or city? It's nice here. Not too warm, and not too cold.

Do you find it odd that we have not used a "bad" word yet? That is what you mean, most of the time, when you call a word the type of word that we must use when we post here. But, like Bill, the joke man of TV fame, said: you do not need to use a bad word to say what you want to say. He even felt that it was not good to do so, and that one was less of a man, or not as good at his art, if they felt they had to use a bad word in what they said. I don't know if I feel the same way, but much the same has been said to me, here on this very site! So I do note that some feel that way. At any rate, we have not gone over that line, yet, so what if we just don't do that? As a new part of the rule, I mean. Any pros vs. cons on this?

It's easy. A hard test for us is if each word must have more than one beat. Like coma, easy, and user. Even most mots is a task and a half.

monster 07-27-2010 09:07 AM

Away, evil dual beat test. My fury will boil over if I keep this up.

Undertoad 07-27-2010 09:37 AM

I used a bad word. I used "mind fuck".

It was the best way to skip a long word I had in mind.


I like "bee" and "fly" cos they got that name cos they were tiny bugs.

Undertoad 07-27-2010 09:39 AM

Ah. We can't skip this talk of four, we won't talk of the heat of the day...

classicman 07-27-2010 09:39 AM

I feel that we may want to do this. I am not sure that is is the best way to go, but we may have to do it just the same.
pro - this will stay SFW.
con - this may not let some post due to the new rule.

It's hard to stop. I know. We just have to talk about the four.

monster 07-27-2010 10:09 AM

Onyx.

Damn you sir. I had hope that you may have been able to join the talk more than that.
Oh well, look at it this way. You did try and that sure is good.

Undertoad 07-27-2010 11:20 AM

C, you do it! As some say, "If it is to be, it is up to me."
