We used to find it interesting that, when under the relentless pressure of a tightly fought game of speednob, the individual styles that came through. Mine were very much spiky, treble triangle affairs, while mj's were more like a three leaf clover. Of course by the end of the minute (our games were one on one contests - the sheer volume of nobs everywhere by now rendered the sneaky nob-draw obsolete (which didn't make us stop tho)) you had some fairly sloppy nobs...

A variation on speednob reversal (born from a mixture of the endless search for new ideas and uses for the nob, and the fact that we would quite happily adorn our OWN work with the things) was to try and turn everything FROM the noraml, into a nob. Capital letters of the A, D and W variety (W was particularly cunning, and could be formed while writing - a "U" shape, with a teeny dash down the middle) were fair game, but it all got a bit outlandish when the spunk spurts ejecting from the nobs were given the horizontal and vertical line treatment, then ITS spunk bubble was turned to a nob, then the next, and so on, add infinitum.

Our love of the art of drawing nobs developed over the years, with me and mj cofounding the "Nobtionary" - a set of amusingly charicatured penis'. "mcnob" - an appropriately scottish themed nob, with bagpipes. "nobzilla" - the balls acted as haunches, with an enlargened urethra his roaring mouth. "thomas the wank engine" was fairly obvious (the balls acting as the larger rear wheels). there were soooo many, but sadly lost now. reward offered.
