Stronen crawks

I do wish George wouldn't get the heebie jeebies in the middle of the woods. He stops and starts barking and staring into the trees. It's very disconcerting and results in me looking over my shoulder for George's bogey-man every 3 minutes for the rest of the walk.

Has anyone else noticed that the verifier words are looking more like words these days?

No, I knew I shouldn't have asked. But just take a look at them. Instead of the qgqwtykzq that we used to get, we now get almost proper words like peoplem or quantic. Sometimes anyway. More often than not. I'm sure the person who is sitting up there, in the virtual sky, setting up the verifiers got bored and starting creating his own language. I would if that were my job.

Yes, it's been a fascinating topic of conversation here. We recite some of the best ones to eachother. I swear I had a Welsh word recently - I just didn't know what it meant!

Yes - I have been able to indulge an old passtime making up names for SF or fantasy stories. I should write them down really.
It's a big improvement on squinting at things with my twisted sight. One twist at a time is enough.

Practising for his forthcoming unemployment, the 'person' making up those 'words' is George W. Bush!

And he thinks they are real words,
you know, like 'nukulah' ;-)

You mean to say that you don't speak verificansh?

For a while, some of us played the WV game: put in the letters at the end of our comments and said what it meant. We came up with some doozies. :D

You mean I'm not the only peculiar one around in this blogging world of ours, suburbia, dragonstar and aileni?!

That sounds too close to the truth, stu!

I'm learning, deejay!

I think we could start that again, leslie.
