| Bee News | Posted – 9/11/2007 3:00:31 PM | show profile Just noting that MB has been pretty quiet today.... Nothing fun to read on my breaks. |
| keltoi2 | Posted – 9/11/2007 3:08:32 PM | show profile TOO quiet (quickly glancing around through squinted eyes...). |
| sue ellen mischke | Posted – 9/11/2007 4:14:46 PM | show profile I need to be entertained. I think we should start-up a regular Tuesday off-topic posting to mirror Thursday's questions. Perhaps favorite article of the day? I dunno. |
| Righter | Posted – 9/11/2007 4:15:35 PM | show profile I agree...I like to check in every once in a while to distract myself and...nothing. |
| sue ellen mischke | Posted – 9/11/2007 5:40:00 PM | show profile Word Day? How about we post what word stood out most in our cirlcles within the day or past week, whether you never thought to use the word or heard it used in a new way? If so, mine would be: mindspace as in: "We really want to grab the consumer mindspace." |
| keltoi2 | Posted – 9/11/2007 5:43:34 PM | show profile I'd be tempted to smack someone upside the headspace if they used that phrase in front of me. |
| sue ellen mischke | Posted – 9/11/2007 5:48:54 PM | show profile what about braintrust and hiccup? oh...keltoi, my friend, I have a whole Word doc full of them, and they are just waiting to be shared... pinch-hitting? |
| jjones | Posted – 9/11/2007 5:55:50 PM | show profile yes What's your favorite word? What's a new word you learned this week? (word and definition, please) What's your least favorite word? |
| keltoi2 | Posted – 9/11/2007 6:26:44 PM | show profile My word o' the week is actually a phrase which I just read yesterday in a 44-year-old magazine article--"at sixes and sevens", meaning at odds with each other. But the really Twilight Zone thing about it is, the day after seeing this antiquated phrase, I see it AGAIN in an editorial headline in today's Christian Science Monitor. Doodoodoodoo doodoodoodoo..... |
| foto | Posted – 9/11/2007 7:51:57 PM | show profile Wonderful idea Angela! I agree, very little activity on the board between random questions. "Word of the Week" sounds like an excellent franchise for you. I like the word Prurient. Its kind of like a cross between prune and deviant. Its an uncomfortable word but sort of intriguing in an obscene way. Unfortunately, I can't find very many opportunities to use it other than Off Topic. |
| jjones | Posted – 9/11/2007 8:02:27 PM | show profile Well... ...everyone certainly had a prurient interest in the Larry Craig case. |
| Mag Girl | Posted – 9/11/2007 9:00:37 PM | show profile I would love to institue a "random confession day". As in... I polished off a bag of Doritos this week but told my husband the dog got into them :-P Or, confessing weird habits... stuff like that. |
| sue ellen mischke | Posted – 9/11/2007 11:03:43 PM | show profile Okay...I designate Tuesdays as Tuesday Textual Trickery, where we talk about our favorite words of the week. Mag Girl...why don't you take Wednesday as Wacky Wednesday Wonders, where we confess stuff. Yay! |
| writesonwater | Posted – 9/11/2007 11:52:34 PM | show profile | email poster bombastic gives me shivers -- it sounds like what it means, or a cross between munitions and a bastard. i will read confessions with interest, but am unlikely to make any of interest myself as I think i could be identified by my many posts! quick -- a movie that used "sixes and sevens" . hint - it's a musical. |
| keltoi | Posted – 9/12/2007 12:13:20 AM | show profile I'm gonna go with Guys and Dolls. |
| writesonwater | Posted – 9/12/2007 9:53:40 AM | show profile Don't cry for me, keltoi... |
