The subject's many nearly invisible body hairs are connected to as many fine threads. These extend and meet at a cable where they are bunched together. Either an electrical impulse, or each individual thread part of the pattern is pulleed, to create a sensory image in the subject's body-mind.

       Would the image created not be "Hey! Stop pulling on my many nearly invisible fecking body hairs!" ?

       No category update? How about Culture: Profanity or Fashion: Body Modification?

       Hair isn't conductive. Any electrical impulse would have to be attached firmly to the skin.

       Maybe this is what goosebumps and shivers is all about already?

       Maybe... but probably not.

       Yikes xan.   

       You could possibly mimic the sensation of perpetually rolling a boulder up-hill... sort of a photosisyphus through folicalibration if you will.   

       I will not, and I'm offended at the mere suggestion! I bite my thumb at thee, sir!
Alterother, Apr 06 2013
  

       Yes... well, the umbrage I've taken at your extremital nibbling is exceeded only by my disdain for the dilapidated condition of your cuticles. Good day to you sir.   

       I said good day!   

       I have acute inflammatory cuticulitis. It's not something I'm comfortable discussing and I'll thank you to leave my embarrassing medical condition out of this. Low blow, [fries].

       mm'yes quite. I'm afraid my insecurities have caused me to retort in a quite undignified manner and I appologise profusely for the transgression.
Please accept this white elephant as recompense for my thoughtlessly mallicious attack on your personage.
I officially rescind my good-day to you, and you may feel free to have a bad day if you wish.
  

       White Elephant accepted. Please take this Rhinoceros as a token of my reciprocal gratitudification. Thumb-bite rescinded; I bite my thumb, sir, but I do not bite my thumb at thee, sir.

       Indubitably. I will call him Thomas.   

       What's so damn cute about your infallible cuticulitis?
MaxwellBuchanan, Apr 06 2013
  

       I don't know. Note the indefinite article.
