Is "bam" a word? It seems like a word, but it's an onomatopoeia, just like zzz. Neither are very accurate to the sounds they make, and neither are truly words... I'd let someone play bam without thinking about it, so I could be convinced to allow zzz

Zzz has no vowels.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
