Rapping without the Letter E


(Video Link)

Andrew Huang is an inventive musician. He’s especially fond of musical challenges, such as his 3 minute, 35 second song that exhibits 26 distinct musical genres.

For his latest challenge, Mr. Huang composed and performed an entire rap song that does not contain the letter E—the most common letter in the English language.

This reminds me of "La Disparition" by George Perec. Here is a quote from the Wikipedia article about him :
Perec is noted for his constrained writing: his 300-page novel La disparition (1969) is a lipogram, written without ever using the letter "e". It has been translated into English by Gilbert Adair under the title A Void (1994).
The literary lab Perec setup was called the OULIPO, and they experimented in all poetic and literary medias (drawing, writing, speaking).

It is the Connach Anc Brannect, 'The Key to Happiness.' In old scottish legend the hero Divver McMuff forged the key from an entire mountain of ore, only to have it stolen by the Skaever king, Broelebogan, who through it in a lake. Forty years of war followed for no known reason, but a horrible curse was laid upon the finder of said key. You may keep the keep but I would like (if I win):

It's a tool for people who dye cloth. It grabs the wet cloth from the vats so you don't have to use your hands.

Campfire sausage holder. You have to use sausage not hotdogs because the points are too wide for thin hotdogs. Stick them on the dull points and put it into the campfire. yummy!

Before the invention of the waffle Iron, King Henry was bored with pancakes because the syrup always ran off and since plates with curved up edges didn't exist, this was always messy. He commissioned the kingdom's blacksmith to make a tool ( this one) to create dimples in the pancake and also make consistant rows thus allowing the syrup to not run off.
