  In a world of sporks and foons, why not a spnife, it would be the best answer for chunky soup.

  Possibly with cheese. Although I would implicate permageddon as a reason for the end of man before I would a tasty cheese.

  absconder sounds like it was stolen from somewhere or someone. Maybe it was you, maybe it was me, who knows? As with all words I love I used it in a poem, this is just an excerpt:

  To the fair one-

  who is the thief

  and the thatcher

  absconder of heart

  and repair of basic shelter...

  If you want to read the whole thing I would be happy to email it.

• dangertoy commented on the word inure

  I have used this word routinely for years to describe my tolerance for my ex. I always have to define this word to the listener, but there is no better word in my opinion to describe my dealings with this person.

• dangertoy commented on the word obtunded

  I work in medicine and write poetry. When I first heard this word I wrote this:

  I have been obtunded

  been trying too hard

  making music with misshapen instruments

  -a pianjo

  -a trumpinet

  -a drymbal

  disconcerting

  what road is there that leads from pain-

  none-

  what road is there that makes it sufferable-

  you-

  the sky bleeds heat

  from its cool blueness-

  a great trick-

  like splashing into the ocean

  and catching fire-

  the fish would laugh a beefy laugh-

  you would throw hot love on me

  to bring me down

  I would gasp hard and fast

  to hurry its rescue-

  wheeeeeeeee
