citahellion .... thanks !. i love them all. i really should finish this thing, but i keep hoping i'll get more, because they are are so terriffic.

sal, i am also guilty of the occasional orgassm hehe. citahellion, your way with words is such a gift.

all i have to add today is the very lame:

vommenter (vom-meant-er): commenter who destroys their own point by making it so long winded and boring that nobody ends up caring what they initially meant

blackhissting (black-hiss-ting): knee-jerk reaction of temporarily blacklisting a blogger during a "hissy fit" one later regrets

bakerblogger (bay-kerr-blogg-uh):blogger so intelligent, well-informed and reasonable that their comments humble you even though they don't intend it to be that way (a nod to bakerstreet)


thanks again sal & citahellion. i'm going to try very hard in the next week or so to get this "finished". if anybody else happens to read this, please add anything if you'd like to, i'd love it get bigger before we're done

blacklusting (BLACK-lust-ing): wishing that you could blacklist a person who is commeanting (q.v.) on someone else's blog.


ah ! the dreaded powerlessness of watching helplessly as as a quality thread gets beaten to death by somebody determined to have their say in a horribly repetitive and/ closed minded way.
... and way to use one of "our" words ! yay !
citahellion, you are better at this than me !. same as in my riddle thread (which i WILL get back to one of thse days). i make these threads but you derserve the credit for them because of the amount of your input. thanks so much for keeping this going with me. it's actually getting to be a decent size now, and i'm so secretly proud of it ! hehe

thanks again, "my puzzling friend"

You should post a second riddling article; the activity on old articles drops off tremendously once they aren't within one's last 5 articles or so, generally speaking. (Yes, I could post one myself, but you'll get a lot more traffic than me. )

p.s. you have divined an element of my character: I secretly enjoy being puzzling.

amgram (AM-gram): a clunky, buggy, ill-designed and poorly-constructed program that was clearly written by an amateur. (see also: webshite)

commatose (COM-muh-toess): descriptive of a blog entry that suffers from extreme overuse of commas. Alternatively, the state you enter when reading such a blog, as the pauses implied by the commas mount up and send you into a stupefied condition. Example of sense 1 that may invoke sense 2:
"I, was going, to, the store, you know, and, suddenly, my friend, Bob, popped up, and he said, like, hey, what's up, dude, and I went, hey, don't, call me dude, dude, I'm not, a dude, I'm a hot, and happenin', hipster, see?"

duhcision (duh-SI-zhun): an incredibly stupid decision.

flog (FLAWG): a blog whose entries all focus around a single event, person, or object, which the blogger harps on tirelessly, relentlessly, and incessantly.

webshite (WEB-shite): a web site suffering from extremely crappy design and construction.

We can't let the spammer beat us to ALL the good articles! Besides, this one was especially deserving of a good bump.

I wonder if the JU admins would be able to IP block the anonymous spammer...
