Masaryk Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 V: I worry a bit about people that can't differentiate between a cat and a dog. Quote
Big Brother Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 W: I can differ a cat from a dog but it is just in that picture that it made me think that! Quote
-Ryan Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Cats don't have tails like that though. :( Dogs tails fall or are straight, cats can freely move their tails and use their tail gracefully to balance most of the time. X. Quote
Fishages Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Y: I had no idea what to write, so i just put this. :) Quote
Big Brother Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Z: You do know that you can just put a RaNdOm sentence like everyone else at of dawn of The Forbidden Letter Game. Quote
livvy Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 A: But it shows more skill to write intelligent letter-less sentences which connect to previous posters' sentences. Quote
Masaryk Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 B: Very true. It is harder, and more fun, to have some continuity to the game. Quote
livvy Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 C: I'm happy that you agree with me. On a semi-related note, have you ever heard of lipograms? They are the extreme version of this game. Quote
Masaryk Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 D: I was not previously aware of the presence of lipograms, but the concept interests me. I'm not sure if I have it in me to write an entire novel without using one specific letter, but I'm also too lazy to want to write a novel. Quote
livvy Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 E: I just find lipograms fascinating. I know for a fact that writing a lipogram is not within this author's skills. Quote
Masaryk Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 F: That's nonsense, Livvy. You're doing very well with this game. I'm sure you could write a paragraph, at least. Quote
-Ryan Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 G: I'd seriously pay an author to not use the E or to not use the letter S in an entire book. o.o Quote
Big Brother Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 H: Did you know? Most common letter is 'E'? It is! Really... Quote
losorlaugh Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 J: (sorry I is too hard not too use..) Woah! a whole book without use the letters "E" or "S" that's seriously hard.... Quote
Big Brother Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 K: Well 'E' is the most common letter used in sentences everyday! So writing a novel without 'E' is a hard enough challenge! Quote
losorlaugh Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 L: Oh My God Ryan.. that's better than me... so making you a Genius :) Quote
Big Brother Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 M: If you are being sarcastic then you are using the lowest kind of funny... Quote
losorlaugh Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 B: You're just jelous that I can use any joke in the world... Quote
Big Brother Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 N: You were supposed to use my forbid' letter 'B'! Quote
celticheavens Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 O: 'Kay, what is happening currently? I'm addled. Anyway, it'll be fun if we try creating at least a paragraph excluding 'e' and 's'! Quote
livvy Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 P: I'm all for it. Ought it be done collaboratively? Quote
Masaryk Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 R: A book does exist that doesn't use 'E' at all. It's called Gadsby. It's likely a bland book, but I'd like to see the lack of 'E' on that kind of scale. I am positive that we'd be able to made a multi-sentence unit, with little hassle if we want. Quote
losorlaugh Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 Z: Wow.. a book that doesn't use 'E' is called Gadsby? never heard such thing... Quote
