Using certain words or not using them (help!)

[kalmar]

Isn't "indelible" the right word for that?

Rewind to page 2.

Easily and often slightly amusingly misread as: inedible.

Rewind to page 2.

[disciple]

The line as it currently stands is "...his mind constantly rewinding back and replaying the events of three days ago like some unwipeable videotape."

Personally I think I'd dump videotape, instead you could try describing the feeling instead of making a direct analogy :

"...his mind constantly rewinding back and replaying the events of three days ago like after having seen goatse for the first time, watching that Nick Berg beheading video or walking in on your gay brother being bummed."

[Mayhem]

Much that I would like to Disciple ( ) I'm trying to make it as universally friendly as possible heh...

(picture little Johnny asking what Goat.se is!)

I might simplify it as you've put Darkflame, certainly another idea. And whilst I like your idea Sandy, the person reliving the events has definitely not got a fragile mind at this time, much that I like the prose.

Great minds, etc .

[Orava]

My fiat is: stop kvetching about the lexicon.

[Kamineko]

"...his mind constantly rewinding back and dwelling on the events of three days ago like some inane thread in an internet forum. He wished that Godwin's law applied in the real world. Right now he'd gladly mutter 'Hitler', if it would mean that the endlessly repeating memories would stop."

I hereby invoke Godwin's Law and declare this thread null and void

You can't mention Godwin's Law and the 'H' word in the same paragraph and not fall into a great, big, steaming, paradox...
