Ah! Understood.

You do that in Scrabble? Remind me never to play against you. ;-)

Perhaps I should have used an emoticon; I was riffing, not accusing. The Scrabble ploy is one of my favorites. (See suppose).

No one said they were misspellings, mollusque! It's just that uselessness refuses to "own" them by adding them to one of his lists. Right? :-) The misspelled ghosts...well, only the misspellers know. ;-)

Hey, when have I intentionally added misspellings? When I spawn ghosts, I at least spell them right. :-)

Creating ghosts purposely, uselessness? Misspellings to booby-trap newbies? That's like playing a word that doesn't exist in Scrabble, then challenging when your opponent makes it plural. (Perhaps we've found a less deplorable context for the s-word here.)

Every endeavor has it's own Mickey Mantle. In flatulism, it's Le Pétomane, the French Farting Maniac. Fascinating article...

And that's precisely why I'm giving you grief. Because you're there, O Regular Creator of Ghosts. :-D

Bilby, I could have lived the rest of my life without knowing those things.

I have never grieved my ghosts. Actually I'm pretty sure I was the first person on the to create ghosts regularly, on purpose. It's something like a trademark. :-P

Two comments. While at Uni in Italy we were given an article to read about a professional maker of fart noises. He was quite famous apparently, paid to appear at clubs, weddings, etc. in Naples as an entertainer.

I saw a circus act about 2000 in which a man attached rubber-bulb trumpets to various parts of body and proceed to play them by squeezing one bit against another in a kind of dance. The culmination of the number was a signature blast through a kazoo he had stuffed up his clacker. Fartistes live on.

Just giving you grief on your ghostly non-words. ;-)

And yet you don't have it on any of your lists, uselessness. Hmm.... ;-P

A professional farter. Thanks (um, I guess) to John for introducing me to this fascinating trade on the queef page.
