CorBlimeyLimey:

synesthesia is a neurological condition, the sufferers of which have sensory inputs mixed up. They may actually see different numbers as different colors, even if all are printed in black. Or I have read that some sufferers consider some words to be (literally) soft and others spiky.

Ain't sinamnesia fergettin' the wrongs you've committed?

Sorry, typo.

Sinaesthetics describes the artistic value of your wrongs.

Sorry, typo.

synAMnaestheticsanym involves the wrong, yet beautiful, thing you did this morning for which there's more than one word to describe it before forgetting due to AMnesia.

SilentAiche,

If I knew where you live, I would come to your house and either a) put you to death for crimes against nature, or b) shake your hand.

I haven't decided which you deserve.

synAMnaestheticsanym, indeed!

Before you putt me to deaf, I'd like a [green]hearing[/green] on the mutter. They say there's something fishy (aka, herring-etical), about the one-under-parson scoring birdies... something about flights of fancy.

Darn glad I didn't include any "morning monkey" references.

I stop now.

I should have known better than to open my big mouth.

A handshake it is then.
