Or.. Or... you could get yourself a fruit basket!

Nice, then she'd have pain in her knuckles to keep her back company.

I would gladly sacrifice my knuckles for my back

And unfortunately there is no other way of crushing ice, so knuckles bye bye

Funny, I know in Sonic 3, there's some ice obstacles that only Knuckles can break.

But then… how would you post?

Probably with her fingertips which is shockingly how I do it too

Cybernetic Augmentation, says my Sci-fi side. Prosthetic hands, says my more sensible side.

Repeatedly banging my head on the keyboard, a tried and tested formula

And then you'd have pain in three places. What are you, some kind of masochist?

Step 1: Buy a Fruit Basket
Step 2: Gently Apply Basket to your back
Step 3: Remove Splinters
Step 4: Enjoy your painless back!

It really works, it's like acupuncture!

And how exactly does that involve sacrifice of knuckles?

Ah, Germanicasation.

I've been thinking about this. As a matter of fact, in Dutch we would say
"Ik heb niks zoets in huis" or "I heb geen zoete dingen in huis"
which are separate words, as you can tell. I'm assuming German does the same as both languages pretty much act the same way when conjoining multiple words into one - one of my favourite ones is the translation for 'the worst of the writers' which becomes 'slechtstschrijvende' (so, out of all of those authors, the one that wrote in the worst way is the slechtstschrijvende). It's a ridiculous word with those 9 consonants following up each other and it's pretty hard to pronounce correctly too.

I made up 'sweetstuffs' from the English word 'foodstuffs'. This is one of the few cases where it's not a Germanicasation, I believe.

+ Got an ice pack, yay

Those are just adorable to say.

Shhhhh

I wonder how well the pronunciation comes across.

The first is a lot like English, the second has that pesky geen (I know how to pronounce it but it's not English dammit)

Oops I said "I heb" instead of 'Ik heb'. Damn you bilinguality.

'Geen' is easy enough to pronounce. If you know the Scottish 'ACH', you can emulate a Dutch G pretty easily. 'ee' is just pronounced as 'ay' (like gray) and the 'n' is... well it's an n. What can you say about it.

I was talking more about the way geen has no English analogue You know I really should go ahead and learn some properly. I have my grandpa after all...

EDIT: And a whole load of Dutch speakers on this very forum too. I'm spoilt for choice really.

'Geen' translates to 'no' or 'none'.
Ik heb geen idee.
I have no clue.

Geen persoon die het weet.
Not a person (around) who knows.

It's like kein in German, right?
