• 1 day ago, sionnach said: Does this mean I can rename myself Si O' Nnach?
• 1 day ago, madmouth said: hey--have you been to Regretsy? Oddery foddery, man (lemonade cow, anyone? Jesus' feet and shroud, with tiny stigmata dimples?)
• 2 days ago, ruzuzu said: Thanks, bilby--I find that "Fluffy" is always appropriate.
• 5 days ago, telofy said: The tinny and woody tagging is an allusion to this Monty Python sketch. :-)
• 11 days ago, ruzuzu said: Thank you, thank you, Easter Bilby!

• 12 days ago, sionnach said: Gosh darn it, big ears! Don't be going upsetting the youngsters. Not come back! NOT COME BACK! Why that'd be like the Easter Bilby refusing to bring of the chocolate to the little tykes down under.
  
  Let me just put on my learner wings here and take you on a little tour so that you can see what Bedford Falls ... oops, I mean Glenwordie ... would be without you.
  
  Three spirits will visit you before this night is o'er. Tiny Tim needs a new kidney, some leg braces, a whole bunch of orthodontic work, the latest Mortal Kombat update, and tickets to the Britney/Lindsay/Miley White Trash Sluts on Tour concert. Are you going to look into that pasty little face and be the one to tell him no?
  
  I didn't think so. So get your endangered ass back here, you hear me. Don't make us come down there and get you.
• 12 days ago, ruzuzu said: I only got to experience a month's worth of Wordie before it became part of Wordnik, but in that month I became very attached--I'm especially fond of your lists and your comments, bilby. I kept waiting to see you here, and the happiness I felt at seeing your name appear again and thinking it would all be okay can only be matched by the sadness of the thought of only getting to know you through archives of the past. Please stay.
• 12 days ago, PossibleUnderscore said: Things wouldn't be the same without you, bilbs! And I'm one of the 'newer' users anyway. I would hate to see any one of you old guys leave.
  :-(
• 12 days ago, sionnach said: Bilby said: "Just looking at this site hurts my soul so I don't know if I'll be around for long. In the past week I've got used to the unWordie reality of my life".
  
  Foxy says: I felt the same way when I first logged in on Wednesday - the whole thing was very depressing. But I feel some minor obligation to stick around and help try to make things work. On the other hand, maybe I'll just go to Gibraltar and look at the apes. And the Brits too, natch!
• 13 days ago, sionnach said: Dear bilby:
  
  Do they have Wordnik in Oz? You're awfully quiet, old cock!

• 22 days ago, madmouth said: sorry, bilby--my inquiries re: hyeonmi have been fruitless. the literal meaning is 'puffy rice', but I can't quite figure out a slangy direction from there. 'dwenjang', for example (lit. 'soybean paste') means 'golddigger' or 'high-maintenance girlfriend' idiomatically, so you can see the connections are quite abstruse.
• about 1 months ago, ruzuzu said: Dear Bilby,
  
  I think you're awesome.
  
  Cordially, ruzuzu.
• about 1 months ago, arcadia said: Hey, I'm not exactly sure what a nutloaf is -maybe there's an American equivalent I might be familiar with? If it's a meatloaf substitute you're in search of, I do have a pretty good "neatloaf" recipe from a Vegan Kids cookbook, and you can use it as leftover for sandwiches.
  
  I'm going to our local vegan fast food place tonight for the Philly "chick'n cheeze-steak" with vegenaise and a side of peanut oil fried fries. Nothing like really greasy, totally overpriced, vegan counter food when you're starving. :)

• about 1 months ago, hernesheir said: I'm curious if anyone has produced a list of all the monitor lizard species in Australasia. There's from left-field for you!
• about 1 months ago, ruzuzu said: Fishing? Brilliant! Thanks.
• about 1 months ago, leila1979 said: thanks for adding to my list!!!!
• about 2 months ago, sionnach said: Bilby:
  
  storeen is the diminutive of stor (both o's have accents, but it's too early in the morning to mess with them on this tiny keyboard), the irish word for 'treasure', so 'mo storeen' means 'my little treasure'. bohreen is just a variant spelling of boreen, meaning a narrow road, or lane.
  
  Hope this helps.
  
• about 2 months ago, sionnach said: Whatever are you reading these days, big-ears? And are you really stuck on a heap o' guano?
• about 2 months ago, kjola said: it worked! *big hug*
• about 2 months ago, kjola said: Thanx bilby :) I noticed the Wikipedia icon a fraction of second too late (after I have posted the link). I wanted to delete my comment, but found only the "edit" option... is there an option of deleting one's own comment?
• about 2 months ago, madmouth said: I assure you I was thinking of Wordie (and -ites) during my international romp
• about 2 months ago, frogapplause said: bilbycakes: you inspired me to update my FrogBlog banner. Thanks!
• about 2 months ago, frogapplause said: You've added over 15,000 words. That's impressive.
• about 3 months ago, mollusque said: Thanks bilby! The wordometer clicked over to 20K about a week ago.

  Thanks so much for the details on the Milligan cite.

• about 4 months ago, amacleod03 said: Bilby, you have a great Spike Milligan citation for "dog-end" and I would be deeply appreciative if you could supply just a wee bit more information such as edition and page number. Thanks so much

• about 4 months ago, seanmacias said: Just saw that. Thanks bilby.
• about 4 months ago, ridicule said: Hey. Thanks for the welcome comment. (:
• about 4 months ago, frogapplause said: bilby, I miss you already. Hurry home!
• about 4 months ago, erose said: I, like everyone else, suspect my neighbors of owning some of those fireworks . . . although "neighbor hater" would also be a great term for a really loud soundsystem. Here's hoping you've recovered satisfactorily from the star-spangled trauma :).
• about 4 months ago, brobbins said: Thanks for the editing help!
• about 4 months ago, erose said: Thanks for the hilarious contributions to the pyrotechnilogophilia . . . I would gladly salute a firework display involving hellzapoppers and star spangled bangers any day of the week :).
• about 4 months ago, sionnach said: After Boris's little attempt to run away from home came to a premature end, he is ill-tempered and fretful. But I bet a little poetry zine from down under would cheer him up no end.
• about 4 months ago, bilby said: You wish :-)
• about 4 months ago, Prolagus said: Arcadia, is BS = Belle and Sebastian?
• about 4 months ago, yarb said: If it helps with the census-taking, I'm 100% non-vegan, and 90% eggs and milk. I think a good chef ought to be able to satisfy vegetarian customers, although that's entirely the chef's prerogative. A chef may very well decide to exclude people who don't like his/her style of food: that's the nature of the restaurant business. People who don't like Indian food shouldn't go to Indian restaurants, people who don't like nudity should avoid nude beaches, and people who don't like meat should stay away from places with minimal or no veggie options. Isn't it obvious?
• about 4 months ago, arcadia said: With all the recent vegan-esque entries, I'm lost as to who else is vegan around here now. Any hints?
  
  Oh yes, and I totally agree with your comment that it's BS when chefs make a big deal over cooking vegan meals. Sometimes I suspect omnivores just feel judged by the very existence of vegans and lash out accordingly, even if unprovoked.
• about 5 months ago, michaelchang said: Hi Bilby, Yup I am back and I like the fact that little has changed in here, and I see you're all still word-jamming-lovingly.
• about 5 months ago, madmouth said: that would be the dumb pocket. d'oh
• about 5 months ago, madmouth said: much improved, thank you. how's your...uh...not head, hopefully?
• about 5 months ago, frogapplause said: bilby: I bought an Australian-English, English-Australian dictionary today. I'm ready to communicate!
• about 5 months ago, frogapplause said: bilby: you have an astounding ability at finding amazingly fun stuff. Thanks for the pinch!
• about 5 months ago, madmouth said: v. deceptive verse; the charming, bubbly rhythm doesn't show up in text form
• about 5 months ago, madmouth said: filjan rhymes with ljiljan--"lily". You want [filđan].
  
  Now, imagine having a beautiful 'j' (e.g. Jaegermeister) in your name and having it butchered all around by the J-like-Judge English spelling convention TT.TT
