It wouldn't even be in Scarborough, never mind Shangdu, and it sure wouldn't be stately.

While I was out for dinner with Graydon, he asked me at one point what I was thinking (this can be dangerous). I honestly admitted that I was thinking of going down a waterslide that used pudding instead of water, and similar odd tactile sensations that might be pleasurable, but non-sexual. We spent the remainder of the meal discussing other things ( Read more... )

a room where all the surfaces are covered in bubble-wrap and strips of it hang from the ceiling. this room would also be equipped with popping accessories like a bowling ball and a pogo stick

Mild-autism playground!

Not mocking; right there with you.

And yet, I do not have any symptoms of even mild autism. THOUGH MAYBE THERE WOULD BE THERAPEUTIC BENEFITS, I DO NOT KNOW.

I feel like I've made that assumption before, and been corrected before.

THERE COULD BE BENEFITS.

I think I remember hearing about the Tactile Dome being used like that.

Well, you made that assumption about me! Maybe that is what you are recalling.

I think it sounds like an amusing theme park. I also think nerf-style foam rubber coatings on things are pretty neat.

awesome, love these (except for the tongue one)

I especially like the rollers ones. I'd like two horizontal sets of rollers several meters long (one set on top of the other with some space between, kind of like a mangle) covered with rubber nubs like massage sandals so people could go through the rollers and simultaneously get squeezed, wrung out and massaged

But what you just described is basically like tongues! I think it is a really good idea.

Damn! You two are creative! You always said adults should never stop playing as kids play. I think you should make this your life's work, Francis (in one way or another).

Re: what were you on? swinehund December 21 2009, 01:15:37 UTC

I'm not sure how to make work of it, maybe it can just be a very serious hobby. Like really really serious, with furrowed brows and everything.

These are great!

Whenever I think of something comforting, I always think of a small closet or box where everything was cushioned and velvet.

swinehund December 21 2009, 01:16:34 UTC

How small? Can you stand up in it? That's an issue for me, at least.

valerieloveland December 31 2009, 00:30:55 UTC

I was thinking clothes closet sized.
