Entry: kamasupra (n.)
In context: "...devoted their cultic lives to snuffling around trying to get hold of the virtual kamasupra diskette and getting together in dim Wilmington-era venues and talking very obliquely about where and just what the software was and how their snufflings for it were going..."
Definition: We're in the midst of a series of Lenzisms. This one ought to be Kama Sutra (n.): The title of an ancient Sanskrit treatise on the art of love and sexual techniques; hence used allusively.
Other: As I write this we're 99 hits off of 25,000 which, to be honest, feels like quite the accomplishment. Thanks for stopping by!
