Very creepy wine from the Motley Cru, with notes of old clothes, burnt rubber, hash marks, and psilomotorcycles.

The link malfunctioned twice in two different ways, but I got the drift from my browser input line.

Keep 'em coming.

It reminds me of this story, by Roy Blunt,

" 'ey"
"EEEEEEEE!"
"I..."
"Oh, you."

Which is all very well and good. But if you wrote it like this:

" 'ey"
"Ee!"
"I..." "O,
Yu!"

each line would be DUOLITERAL!

[Allen Tice]

Can you get it to be hyp-duoliteral? No? Well, we're still looking for Moby Dick then.

I'm not sure Cymrucontinental will work on the BBC.

[John Whitworth]

Law and Order rules even in the country of the yurt. Why? You are way ahead of me. The Yurt-policeman stomps about doing his bit, that's why.

Edited in: Fie! While drifting off to sleep last night I realized, with a great and tragedious sigh, that Cymrupoeia does not, in fact, serve the purpose of this thread, as it contains the vowels E and I in their proper, alphabetical order. In atonement for this blunderous oversight, I offer the following words:

Zymurgopithecans (noun): in a dystopian Planet of the Apes-type future, members of the beer-brewing profession.

Dysfluoridental (noun): a treatment intended to counteract the fluoride rinses given as part of a standard dental prophylaxis and cleaning.
