Moro reflex? or Hypnic jerk?
Transformer.
Kayak.
Paradigm shift?
ejector seat!
Could one escape from one's lover by pterodactyl?
blimp
Interdimensional hyperjump
Ptero, two suggestions:
cigarette boat
hydroplane
Pro! I LIVE in a farmhouse!! Oh...maybe that explains the buuurping...
Pro -- Wrong. A burp is that excess or unwanted gas that makes it to the belly (sometimes a little shy of it) and comes right back up -- in almost the exact composition/odor.
A fart is...NOT that! Whoa!
To me, burping is like farting from a different orifice*.
*Except when Wordies do it. And except for the Wyoming guy.
Yarb! I'm sooo sorry. Do you have to carry around a stash of barf bags....just in case?
In that case, dontcry, I stand in awe. You see, I am unable to burp; I have no middle ground between a hiccup and a hork.
I'm an awesome belcher! I can't drink carbonated beverages in polite company because the bubbles just come right back out! Fortunately for me, I don't spend a lot of time in polite company! (Present company excluded, of course... *snort*).
Yes, I absolutely could! I adore women who burp; a proclivity for burping is one of the main things I look for in a mate.
Obsessive burping or BUUURPing is a different thing, though; I'd have to think twice about that.
Burping makes it easier to be left. Could you still love a burper? I mean, a BUUURPER?
Farmhouse caught up in a tornado.
Burping? How would that work, then?
Funny, scoop! That might fit better in this list: 50 ways to leave your body
Foreign Legion, burping.
spontaneous human combustion
subway, tsunami
Great list! *favorited*
Ooh! Barrel! Especially over Viagra Fails.
paddle steamer, camel train
beach umbrella in a cyclone
Unfortunately, I still can't get the pumpkin coach link to work.
c_b:
The original pumpkin coach link was faulty, but I fixed it, so it should be OK now.
With respect to the buttered cat array, I have only two words for you: dork out.
suicide?
(this may open the door for an entirely new list...unless of course it already exists somewhere)
first entry:
jump off a cliff, Cliff.
There are so many classics on this list. I still love continental drift. Sionnach, I want to hear more about this buttered-cat array, and BTW I couldn't get the pumpkin coach link to work. Wah!
Ah, I get it now. In fact, I should have gotten it earlier, as I just finished reading Terry Pratchett's Witches Abroad, in which a pumpkin coach features prominently.
Pterodactyl: Well, the mystery is part of the magic, innit? I've always understood that propulsion involves a mixture of fairy dust and tiny rodents:
pumpkin coach
92 entries now ptero ... soon you'll be needing a second lover. Are you up to it?
Sionnach: How, exactly, does one travel by pumpkin? I would be intrigued to see this happen. Does the pumpkin roll? Or does the pumpkin vine just grow really, really fast?
Excellent suggestions, my people! Thank you! I'm especially impressed by giant peach -- bilby, it appears that you and I read the same books when we were growing up. :-)
(And self-defenestration is making me laugh even as I type this.)
Ha!
Self-defenestration?
giant peach, self-immolation, black hole.
pumpkin? buttered-cat array? gondola? broomstick? nautilus? penny-farthing?
trapdoor, alien abduction, hang-glider, avalanche.
jitney, space shuttle, hearse, join the Marines? Great list!
fixie?
How about catapault for a quick departure?
Continental drift?! Ha ha hahahaaaa!!! *favorited*
Up here we might consider a dog sled, depending on the season.
Yes! Keep 'em coming!
(thinks: Yay! After four months of sitting quiet and unnoticed, this list is finally seeing some action!)
Definitely; I'll think about it. Punt? Jalopy? Luge? Ruby slippers?
Hilarious.
Thanks! It sure was fun putting this list together. My favorite is continental drift.
Any suggestions for further entries?
Brilliant! I love swan boat and giant eagle.
Actually more than 50, which proves that Paul Simon's prediction was too modest.
