There are always 'ways and means.'

I seem to remember that back in the 50s MAD magazine introduced us to the word "furshlugginer". While it is a perfectly good Yiddish word, it rapidly became the code word for what what otherwise forbidden.

In another public UK based newsgroup avoidance became an art. Try "Hilter" (by convention any thread where the correct speeeeling appeared was thereby blocked). The worst culprits seemed to be 'merkins'. You can look that up in the Phrontistery¤¤¤ where it has a different but appropriate meaning. All that is, of course ficulnean fallaciloquence which no doubt the word censor has picked up - not. Just above that merkin entry you will find 'merdivorous' and 'merdurinous' which I am sure our beloved leader would not have caught :D :D :D :D :D As for Davebythe sea being connected with a 'bethel', as they say, 'if the cap fits'

¤¤¤ Never heard of the "Thinking Place"??? Great fun if you add .info to the end as a web site. There's a wealth of stuff there, some like 'meatus' 'maya' and 'menology' having no connection with meat, North America nor even males!!!

There's a challenge for you, John. Enjoy
