Well, I was trying to link the rhombohedron depicted in Duerer's, "Melancolia" to the Tyrodal rune secretly incised with UV visible ink into the dodecahedron tattooed on Maxime's neck in the tale, "Return to Whidbey," BUT all this without any squaring of the hippopotamus. No food or sex there. Does this make me a pervert? Rhombohedrophilia: "the love that cannot spell its name."

Well my pappy Giuseppe was out in the barn, pullin some strings, I was reading Wittgenstein, when a splashing resounds plasticly, but profoundly from the nearby lake. Opeaonogaonara , There, canoe wise, was Hairy Mary, and Crazy Timmy. Gio was being pulled in the wake, with some cordage around his neck, and Heidigger straddling him. Now Mary steps on the side of the canoe, though I hald told her multitudionlsy... Bow or prow, bow or prow, baby, make up yer mind. Nonetheless, she was a swimmer, emerged immaculate from the depths, wearing her best negligeeeeeeee., with nipples protruding immensly, and she and I repaired to my fangzi to consider.
