Lemming

True shape parasol.

The surface omarking
of the axillary

veena

Gnivil
gnashing livid
evil devil.

sweet 2 bird.

Robinia pseudoacacia
'Lace Lady'

TWISTY BABY.
Names of false moles:

Assassin.
Aesop kisser.
Kindest apogee.

    i like that word 'apogee' and looked it up....Along with 'perigee' it refers to orbits around the earth...or some some nonsense....anyway, i guess it works for a false mole, but wouldn't 'Smelly' also? It's possible I don't know what i'm talking about...

    I just liked how it meant both

    furthest and in a cultural sense
    height or greatest distance from origin.

    The phrase came to me after remembering an R. Pettibone
    drawing of a sleeping angel whose thought bubble was something like

    history is a nightmare from which i am trying to awake..

    somesuch.

    your irreverence is greatly appreciated!!

    also if you havent seen Viveca Lindfors performance in _These Are the Damned_ I can't consider you fully human, or otherwise!

    Also Viveka is a sonskrit word that means

    discrimination

    another one of those labrys words
    that has both a positive and negative connotation..

    Lanny,

    Brilliant final triplet. Those false moles shall never again go nameless.

    "...not fully human"--is that a bad thing?

    Harking back to our insectoid/android category dialogue... of interest currently because this week I'm on category

    Ghosts

    Come haunting any time!

    I stand corrected Tom, of course "not fully human" is totally fine, but it does reveal some of my early scholastic programming. I had a philosophy teacher who made us memorize some godawful long thing (which I've forgotten) and if we passed the test we got a button that said 'fully human'..

    my apologies, I was just trying to
    be funny, and it still IS sort of funny because the children in _These are the damned_ are NOT fully human anymore, and it is sort of the point of the film.

    I still think Viveca's speech in that film is one of my favorites!

    :)

    I will check out ghosts!
