Epilaccasion

Created by: Nosila

Pronunciation: ep il a kay shun

Sentence: Julian Kallender loved the seasons and holidays in the year. To celebrate each he would grow his whiskers and then cut our appropriate shapes on his facial hair. He called each his epilaccasion. For Valentine's Day, little hearts;for St.Pat's Day, shamrocks, of course; for Easter, eggs and bunnies; for Cinco de Mayo, some maracas; for July 1, a maple leaf; for July 4, Uncle Sam; for Labor Day, a hammer & sickle;for Thanksgiving, a turkey and for Christmas, holly and Santas. When his favourite teams were in the play-offs, did their logos. For New Year's though, he always did the same thing: he shaved his face and head bald to give them a rest and slather them in lotion until his skin healed. His friends knew the occasions, just by looking at The Kallender!

Etymology: Epilate (remove body hair) & Occasion (reason; an opportunity to do something;an event that occurs at a critical time)

Another Verbotomy Splinterview: Jedijawa's Right-Brain Read about it in the Verbotomy Blog.

That picture is so disturbing on so many levels.

mplsbohemian - 2007-05-02: 11:01:00
Um, oy, that must have come off so transphobic. :\

About the picture... I have received a suggestion that this young lady's allegiances are less than clear, so I have prepared an alternative portrait. Please see: Being Clear About our Allegiances. Thanks ~ James

Jabberwocky - 2007-05-02: 12:59:00
Yikes!! the options are even more disturbing - pretty soon she'll look like Chewbacca

purpleartichokes - 2007-05-02: 13:26:00
OMG! It's an American Hairwolf in Toondon! (Or perhaps she has a hairmone problem.)

wordmeister - 2007-05-02: 16:30:00
Chewytobacca? I wonder what JediJawa thinks of that?

Bulletchewer - 2007-05-02: 16:45:00
Always love stirring up debate, but credit's due the artist. For some strange reason forgotten in a dream, I only ever thought of this definition applying to the male of the species...

wordmeister - 2007-05-02: 17:26:00
It appears as if this wampeter definitely needs a waxing!
