  From meadow-pipit to sandy laverock, I've just (p.m. 9/1/10) added some not-previously-listed common names of birds that you might find of interest - ;>)
• 3 days ago ruzuzu said
  Wait--knots are birds? Is that the inspiration behind Knots Landing?
• 3 days ago fbharjo said
  Not in ligate literature, for sure!
• 3 days ago reesetee said
  Now you guys are just being knotty.
• 3 days ago fbharjo said
  Then thin a need to be bind mindful, methinks! methinks must reach a cord, tinkering!
• 3 days ago ruzuzu said
  I think notical.
• 3 days ago fbharjo said
  naughtical?
• 3 days ago reesetee said
  Knot exactly.
• 3 days ago ruzuzu said
  I thought it was something knotical....
• 5 days ago reesetee said
  No, knot that.
• 5 days ago ruzuzu said
  Oh, like crow's nest?
• 5 days ago reesetee said
  No, no. The other knots. Birds.
• 10 days ago ruzuzu said
  A rat's nest?
• 10 days ago bilby said
  rate
• 10 days ago ruzuzu said
  A knur of knots?
• 10 days ago reesetee said
  Which makes you wonder what a group of knots is called....
• 10 days ago hernesheir said
  *I am knot*. A group of toads is called a knot, says Wikipedia.
• 10 days ago reesetee said
  *snicker*
• 10 days ago ruzuzu said
  QED.
• 11 days ago reesetee said
  I am knot!
• 11 days ago ruzuzu said
  Oh, reesetee--you're so knotty!
• 11 days ago reesetee said
  No! That's knot true, is it? ;-)
• 11 days ago hernesheir said
  True Lover's Knot (Lycophotia porphyrea) is the common name of a species of European noctuid moth that covers a couple of your bases: knots (in cordage), and birds "knot".
• 20 days ago reesetee said
  You know, I don't think I have either....
• 20 days ago ruzuzu said
  Thanks R--I've still never had a bad Friday the 13th!
• 20 days ago reesetee said
  H, what a great story, and how nice of you to think of me when you heard it. :-) My guess is that the captain probably knows more knots than he knows what to do with!
  
  R, thanks for the 8/9/10 greeting. Happy...uh, well, not-unlucky Friday the 13th back to you!
• 24 days ago ruzuzu said
  Happy 8-9-10!

  I did some tree and boat work for an 80+ year-old retired boat captain this past week. He had great fun telling me how he once stumped some marine shop folks by asking them to create an eye-splice in a left-laid rope. He had to show them how (they'd only done it for right-laid ropes) while others in the shop fixed the mechanical problem he'd gone to the shop for. During the telling, I thought, "Reese Tee would love to hear this story." He (we) made great use of the clove hitch and while we were lashing and dragging chain-sawed logs around with his tractor.
• about 1 month ago hernesheir said
  I do recall your knots list. I infrequently give used copies of Ashley's Book of Knots as gifts.
• about 1 month ago hernesheir said
  Thanks for your contributions to the handy words list!
• about 1 month ago ruzuzu said
  It seemed as if it would make a good list, but in that it's too good to be true, every potential list is an existing list kind of way. I figured you'd be the one to ask... :-)
  
  Either way, I just made a bird birds list. Thanks, treeeees! (And thanks, hernesheir!)
• about 1 month ago reesetee said
  All birds welcome here, hernesheir. :-)
• about 1 month ago hernesheir said
  Sorry if my confusing comment sounded like that of a yardbird, which my father was content to call me when I was young. For recompense: tropicbird.
• about 1 month ago reesetee said
  Wait. Now I'm confused. Ruzuzu, are you asking whether any Wordnik lists exist? Or are you looking for references to create a list?
  
  Either way, it's a good idea for a list, even if it's been done before. (I, for one, haven't done such a list.)
• about 1 month ago ruzuzu said
  Oh, wait a second - hernesheir, are you suggesting that the definition of "Zuzu" is "'bird birds' for a list of bird words?" (Because that would be awesome.)
• about 1 month ago ruzuzu said
  Thank you, hernesheir. Yes. Bird birds.
• about 1 month ago hernesheir said
  Zuzu means "bird birds" for a list of bird words.
• about 1 month ago ruzuzu said
  Do you know of any lists of birds that have "bird" in their names (blackbird, bluebird, &c.)?
• 2 months ago hernesheir said
  I link to your nice bad guys list on my perponyms list. Thanks for bringing your list to my attention.
  
  Thanks also for contributing to the BigWords list. Many of the terms on that list are very useful and quite specific. Others, not so much.
• 2 months ago ruzuzu said
  Thanks, treeeees!
• 2 months ago ruzuzu said
  Once again, you've inspired hijinks.
• 4 months ago reesetee said
  Watched it several times, o--as well as the program itself. Thanks!
• 4 months ago oroboros said
  Hey Tb, in case you haven't seen this: Behind the scenes of "Hummingbirds". New photographic technology reveals heretofore unseen behavior.
• 6 months ago reesetee said
  Have I ever mentioned that my birds like klezmer music? I think it's the clarinet.
• 6 months ago ruzuzu said
  *pines for a definitive recording of the reesetee's AAAGH! AAAGH! call (and assumes that it would sound like a clarinet)*
• 6 months ago Prolagus said
  Uh. My S.O. is in Bodega Bay right now. How iroquoisy.
• 6 months ago PossibleUnderscore said
  As a vehement bird lover, what is your opinion of Hitchcock's film The Birds, or better yet, duMaurier's book on which the film was based?
  
  Just wonderin'. ;-)
• 6 months ago ruzuzu said
  I'm sure you already know this, but the crane cam is back (for now). :-)
• 7 months ago reesetee said
  Well, you can stop being surprised now because I've added it. :-) Thanks!
• 7 months ago oroboros said
  RT: surprised not to see one of your bird lists shown under mumruffin!
• 7 months ago reesetee said
  Thanks, hernesheir! Since I have several bird lists, this one will probably get divvied up. :-)
• 7 months ago hernesheir said
  Thanks for the acknowl on my World of Corn list. Here's a bird word for your lists: ring-ouzel.
• 8 months ago ruzuzu said
  *regrets temporary lapse into revenge-filled cupcake fantasies, the fact that seagulls seem to be kind of mean, and current lack of cupcakes in real life*
• 8 months ago reesetee said
  *looks up, opens mouth*
  
  Got 'em! Thanks! Gosh, everyone's so friendly here, aren't they?
• 8 months ago ruzuzu said
  Tra la la la... oh, hello there. Just thought I'd drop off a cupcake or two. From about 30 feet in the air.
• 8 months ago PossibleUnderscore said
  Thanks for the cupcakes on peckable. In return favour, I might alert you that a certain gull may be plotting a certain attack on a certain somebody partially responsible for a certain becupcaking incident.
• 8 months ago reesetee said
  Thanks! Hope everyone had a good holiday season. :-)
• 8 months ago PossibleUnderscore said
  Hey- welcome back!
• 8 months ago reesetee said
  Happy holidays, all! Heading to where I'm not likely to have Internet access, so I'll see you in a few days. Try not to overdo it on the casu marzu. :-)
• 9 months ago reesetee said
  Hi John--no problem. We can make do. ;-) Thanks for letting us know!
• 9 months ago john said
  Hi RT, yes, the option for contributors isn't available at the moment. Though now that we have an email notification system it's back in play. No specific timeframe, but will hopefully be available early next year.
• 9 months ago reesetee said
  Yay!
• 9 months ago PossibleUnderscore said
  Yes, it fixed itself and the capital letters disappeared. All's ok! :-)
• 9 months ago reesetee said
  They're all still there, at least when I check the list. I haven't deleted anything. Maybe try again and see what happens?
• 9 months ago PossibleUnderscore said
  Something wierd happened to your list. I added snipe and all the other birds flew away! I refreshed the page and only one returned!
  
  Is it just my browser?
  
  Edit: oh, did you happen to delete them, just when I entered a new one?
• 9 months ago reesetee said
  Yep! I'll get it started and add both of you as contributors. Anyone else interested?
  
  Edit: Looks as though we now have only two options: a completely open list or a closed one. So it's open!
• 9 months ago ruzuzu said
  Yes, please!
• 9 months ago PossibleUnderscore said
  I don't know if my knowlege of birds (ficticious or not) is enough to fill a list, but I would certainly love to see one made! Would you?
• 9 months ago reesetee said
  Funny, PossU, I've thought of making a list of fictitious birds. Is that what you have in mind? We could share, if you'd like. :-)
• 9 months ago PossibleUnderscore said
  What do you think about ficticious birds, reesetee?
• 9 months ago abraxaszugzwang said
  Hey. Thanks for the comment. It's nice to be remembered. I'm happy to see you're still here!
• 9 months ago reesetee said
  Have no fear, PossU. Cupcake granted. *cue sound of tiny bell*
• 9 months ago PossibleUnderscore said
  Howsstuff rt?
  I think our friend gangerh needs one of your delicious conciliatory cupcakes on Schadenfreude.
• 9 months ago reesetee said
  See? Wait 'til I tell my birds.
• 9 months ago ruzuzu said
  I also enjoy klezmer music, and I also think it's the clarinet.
• 9 months ago reesetee said
  All okay here! (Well, not fantastic, but tolerable.) Thanks for asking, youz guys. :-) I've been out of town off & on with no access to the Interwebs; hence my enforced absence.
  
  Hey, birdsong pronunciations are a fantastic idea! Wait--you mean actual songs or people imitating actual songs? Either way, I'm afraid you won't hear them from me. I don't have a mic, so you'll not hear whether I'm a gull or buoy.
• 9 months ago Prolagus said
  Reesetee has not been spending much time on the internet lately, as far as I know. I thing our seagull friend is fine, though.
• 9 months ago john said
  holy robin batman, that's a fantastic idea!
• 9 months ago whichbe said
  I was thinking that some Bird Song pronunciations would be amazing.
• 9 months ago PossibleUnderscore said
  You've been awfully quiet lately.
  All going ok?
• 9 months ago sionnach said
  No pronunciations yet, r_t? Is there something that you're keeping from us?
  
  (Still thinks r_t is a gull)
• 9 months ago PossibleUnderscore said
  Yes, it's nice to see it back!
  :D
• 10 months ago reesetee said
  Don't know! I just noticed myself that it's missing.
• 10 months ago PossibleUnderscore said
  Where did your list on trees go reesetee? It was one of my favourites!
• 11 months ago gangerh said
  I played with your name. 
• about 1 year ago reesetee said
  Well, I don't know where I've been all this time. I didn't even know about the 10Ks!
• about 1 year ago mollusque said
  The 10K's have been tagged (so far), so I figured the 20K's should be too. C_b almost snuck hers by, but I happened to be watching.
• about 1 year ago reesetee said
  *toe tracing in sand*
  
  Aw, shucks....It's good to be back. :-)
  
  *takes a big bite of fuflun*
• about 1 year ago pterodactyl said
  Sound the trumpets, good Wordies -- our reeseteeless days are over!
• about 1 year ago chained_bear said
  Yay! Reesetee's back!! *dances around with confetti and fufluns*
• about 1 year ago Prolagus said
  Ciao! Keep track of interesting words!
• about 1 year ago chained_bear said
  *hopes against hope that reesetee will buy her a shirt from Skinny Dick's*
  
  *rethinks the wisdom of that*
• about 1 year ago reesetee said
  Off I go again--this time for a couple weeks. All you regulars had better hold down the Wordie fort until I return! :-D
  
  Ciao....
• over 1 year ago reesetee said
  Aw, thanks! It was harder than I thought to go cold turkey. And me with a vacation coming up. :-)
• over 1 year ago rolig said
  Welcome back, Rt! You were missed!
• over 1 year ago mollusque said
  Reese who? (Welcome back!)
• over 1 year ago reesetee said
  Good grief! Wordie comments tell me I've been away from the site for 11 days. Can it be true?
  
  No wonder my life has gone downhill.... ;-)
  
  EDIT: Seven days. That's slightly reassuring.
• over 1 year ago garyth123 said
  Do you mean in a Scottish accent?
• over 1 year ago reesetee said
  Glad to hear it (about the earthquake). And glad you liked DC--I thought you would! It's one of my favorite cities.
• over 1 year ago Prolagus said
  None of my relatives and friends lives in the earthquake area, but it was nonetheless a shock. Thanks for asking.
  
  DC is a gem. All those cherry tree blossoms! And the Tidal Basin! And Julia's empanadas!
• over 1 year ago reesetee said
  Believe it or not, "swim."
• over 1 year ago mollusque said
  Congratulations reesetee! What was the lucky word?
• over 1 year ago reesetee said
  ¡Muchas gracias, amigo! I think I've just exhausted all my Spanish--but thank Madrid para mí! :-)
  
  Oroboros, I've seen that before and it cracks me up every time. Birds and ice cream: they go together like...uh...birds and ice cream.
• over 1 year ago sionnach said
  ¡¡¡¡ FELICITACIONES !!!!
  
  La comunidad autónoma de Madrid ha declarado hoy, el 11 de marzo, un dia de festivos generales en reconocimiento del hecho de que REESETEE, un ciudadano honorario, ha alcanzado 20.000 palabras añadidas a Wordie.
  
  Brindamos por éste logro formidable.
• over 1 year ago Prolagus said
  Oh, roboros! It's filed under seagullibility.
• over 1 year ago oroboros said
  Hey! Just noticed you hit the big two-oh-kay. Congratulations!...but you're making me feel waaaay underwordied! :-)
  
  Oh, and here's something you'll get a kick out of (I hope):
  
  X@#!% Birds.
  
  
• over 1 year ago reesetee said
  Oh, never mind that image I tried to post. I made it to 20,000. :-D
• over 1 year ago bilby said
  Go with the oversized green velvet jacket, fluffy bow tie and top hat.
• over 1 year ago bilby said
  We're playing Las Vegas next week, haven't you heard? ;-)
• over 1 year ago reesetee said
  A cure?? HAhahahaha! Who needs a cure?
  
  Oh.
• over 1 year ago chained_bear said
  Well, I understand there is a cure for that condition, but you'll probably end up with the DT's from Wordiewithdrawal.
• over 1 year ago reesetee said
  I am, apparently, teetering on the brink of having 20k words. =:-O
• over 1 year ago hernesheir said
  viola d'amore for your ZingStrings list. See true anecdote under binman.
• over 1 year ago reesetee said
  Thanks, hernesheir--glad to hear you're enjoying it, and that you're enjoying the birds themselves!
• over 1 year ago hernesheir said
  Love your list of common names for birds! Just today I was watching chippies under my bird feeder and in my crape myrtle trees in cloudy Florida, and thought of your list.
• over 1 year ago reesetee said
  Wow. I hadn't looked at my word count in ages! Maybe I should have a party for all the Wordies I've yoinked from. :-)
• over 1 year ago chained_bear said
  Holy carp diem, reesetee, you're going to hit 20,000 words if you're not careful! Watch your head!
• almost 2 years ago reesetee said
  Oh yeah? You ferruginous pygmy owl.
• almost 2 years ago bilby said
  You bufflehead ;-)
• almost 2 years ago reesetee said
  Thank heaven someone is.
• almost 2 years ago bilby said
  Big bird is watching you.
• almost 2 years ago oroboros said
  Hey reesetee! I finally got around to creating an account on Flickr. If you're interested in some views of where I do most of my birding, check out my Flickr also-on link.
• almost 2 years ago Telofy said
  Great to hear someone is enjoying my lists. :-)
  Good luck listing.
• almost 2 years ago Telofy said
  Hi, to screen my Grandiloquent Dictionary list for misspellings I wrote a script that searches each word's page for "misspell". When running the word through OED I had to decide whether or not I wanted to count these alternative spellings as misspelling. I decided in favor of that approach for in the OED page of these words, they are indicated thus: "query_type=misspelling". So I don't necessarily see misspelling and variant spelling as contradictory. What do you think?
• almost 2 years ago reesetee said
  Always collecting knots. Thanks, c_b. :-)
• almost 2 years ago chained_bear said
  I think there might be some knots for you on Matthew Walker and double-crowned wall-knot, if you still want any.
• almost 2 years ago reesetee said
  Haha! Yes, I think I mentioned that on bilby's Porn Birds list. Cracks me up. :-)
• almost 2 years ago chained_bear said
  Reesetee, I think someone made this for you.
• almost 2 years ago Prolagus said
  Yes, but you can't see our gestures while typing.
• almost 2 years ago reesetee said
  Glad to hear it. Enjoy!
• almost 2 years ago elisheba said
  thank you for your suggestions reesetee :-) i'm already having great fun in the wordiesphere :-))
• about 2 years ago reesetee said
  Actually, I have thought of that--well, extinct, but not necessarily prehistoric. What exactly did you have in mind, as if I didn't know? ;->
• about 2 years ago chained_bear said
  Reesetee, assuming your renovation is nearing completion, I wondered if you had ever considered making a list of extinct prehistoric birds...? If so, have I got a deal for you.
• about 2 years ago reesetee said
  Okay, okay. I'll try to keep it down.
• about 2 years ago mollusque said
  See the cellophane citation at octopus.
• about 2 years ago reesetee said
  It's loud. Best to cover your ears.
• about 2 years ago bilby said
  What is the sound of 14433 words being rearranged?
• about 2 years ago reesetee said
  To all: Please excuse my dust as I reorganize and knock down a few walls. Those empty lists will be filled soon enough. :-)
• about 2 years ago bilby said
  See what WordNet has come up with for brent.
• about 2 years ago dontcry said
  Sorry. Apparently, I replied to myself. Not unusual, however, as almost absolutely nobody listens to me -- except my birds. And, myself, of course. But still, my Cooper's Hawk is crying...she just won't stop and I think I'm the only one listening to her. I'll go out and investigate again.
• about 2 years ago dontcry said
  I know! Thank you! She lost two babies already this year (well, one, she thinks she lost two, but we called our local rescue place to come and get one of them...long story)...
• about 2 years ago dontcry said
  I'm going outside to see what I can find. She's putting herself in danger...
• about 2 years ago dontcry said
  rt -- I have a Cooper's Hawk situation on my property... I know this isn't the forum...can you help? I think Mamma Hawk is going a little nutty (things have happened).... I want to cry...
• about 2 years ago reesetee said
  Gosh, bilb, I'm honored! And a reef egret to boot--how can anyone be luckier? (Even gangerh doesn't get that kind of prize.) :-D I shall treat Bangau with all the respect and honor due a bird of his/her importance and stature. But I think I'll need to fly it back to Indonesia before I'm arrested. *runs off to pack*
• about 2 years ago elisheba said
  thank you reesetee! :-)
• about 2 years ago bilby said
  Reesetee! The old stager, despite not being one of the subject Wordies, crashed the party with a mighty SECOND PRIZE in Identify the Wordie #2! Way to go, limpkin! Well, I've travelled all the way to Indonesia in search of a suitable prize and brought you back bangau, a reef egret. Can you believe that? Wow! Congratulations!
  
• about 2 years ago bestiary said
  thank you! it's all.. all warm and fuzzy here. but i think that's the words talking.
• about 2 years ago chained_bear said
  Reesetee, you are aware of John's godlike work in instituting a "most commented-on" section and that other link under "comments" that I keep using but can't remember the name of from one page to the next... right?
• about 2 years ago reesetee said
  Indeed, skip--John's god work is never done, apparently. :-)
  
  Tolland: Don't look at me. I may have a huge desk, but it is penisbone-free.
  
  There must be a better way to say that.
• about 2 years ago tolland said
  Penis bones?! Where have I been? D;
• about 2 years ago skipvia said
  But check out the cool news features that John has god worked for us.
• about 2 years ago reesetee said
  Good grief--away one week and 3,000 comments to read when I return. Could you guys type a little more slowly?? ;-)
• about 2 years ago Prolagus said
  Thank you reesetee (for the congrats here and there on Wordie). There is always a reason to make a tiramisù, I think.
• about 2 years ago reesetee said
  Good grief, galoot--you have penis bones on your desk too? It's an epidemic!
• about 2 years ago dontcry said
  "Swell." *snort!*
• about 2 years ago galoot said
  If nothing else, those bones on my desk make swell paperweights.
• about 2 years ago reesetee said
  Thanks, O! I'll check it out. :-)
• about 2 years ago oroboros said
  Hey reesetee: you might be interested to take a look at taxonomy of wordplay.
• over 2 years ago pterodactyl said
  Time elapsed between (1) me referencing an old Dr. Demento song over at untonsured and (2) reesetee catching my reference and posting the lyrics: 2 minutes.
  
  This fills me with joy. :-)
• over 2 years ago palooka said
  They have long lunch breaks in India c_b which is why reesetee has ample time to spend on Wordie.
  
  He's generally not around on Saturdays though, so that must be when he washes his Water Buffalo.
  
• over 2 years ago chained_bear said
  *wondering how reesetee managed to make Wordie a full-time job* Lucky duck... ;)
• over 2 years ago reesetee said
  Day job, night job, and weekend job, thank you very much. I just so happen to have some time on my hands right now.
• over 2 years ago chained_bear said
  *wondering if reesetee has a day job*
• over 2 years ago reesetee said
  Right! I forgot about that. Should work now; thanks. :-)
• over 2 years ago Prolagus said
  You have to type your facebook ID number, as you can read it in your "profile page" URL.
• over 2 years ago reesetee said
  What? The nerve of it! Try again, Prolagus. Don't know quite how to get it working if it doesn't redirect from the name....
• over 2 years ago Prolagus said
  Reesetee, your facebook link doesn't work :-)
• over 2 years ago vanishedone said
  Thanks for the, um, accidental short story. (I wondered whether something like bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F19585?thread=534826 might work on Wordie, but I'm not sure it would fit the structure of the place.)
• over 2 years ago dgstone said
  Yes, yes. I am definitely one of those. Many words sound beautiful to me, just like a song, so it makes sense that they would get stuck in my head.
• over 2 years ago dgstone said
  Define "us" (in your comments to me). If you mean a Wordie, I definitely, definitely am. I am thrilled to have StumbledUpon this site.
• over 2 years ago reesetee said
  Glad you figured them out, Treeseed--and hope you're enjoying them. :-)
• over 2 years ago treeseed said
  Hello again my dear reesetee...I have figured out tags... I think.
• over 2 years ago treeseed said
  reesetee, I don't understand the concept of tags. Can you please shed some light?How do they function? What is their purpose? I am obtuse...now there's a word. Thank you.
• over 2 years ago reesetee said
  Thanks! I already caught that. :-)
• over 2 years ago chained_bear said
  Reesetee, see hangi. You might want to list it someplace.
• over 2 years ago treeseed said
  OH MY GOD! reesetee! I just processed your explanation about citations! I didn't really comprehend what you meant about the little icon buttons under the words. I have been having the best time amusing myself with citations over the last few days...only to have the unsettling understanding dawn upon my vacant wilderness of a brain this minute that my efforts have most probably been a ludicrous and obnoxious thing to do...not to mention entirely redundant.
  I feel like I walked out of the ladies' room with my skirt tucked up in my pantihose! Oh, well...
• over 2 years ago treeseed said
  Thank you, reesetee for explaining "citation". I love this place!
• over 2 years ago treeseed said
  Hi reesetee,
  I am unsure of what is actually meant by a "citation"...sometimes I see words on here that have no definition or notes and of course many of them I can easily find in a dictionary...so is that what a citation is...a definition from a reliable source? What is the proper way to make a citation?
  Thank you, from newbie Treeseed.
• over 2 years ago reesetee said
  Zoiks! Thanks for pointing that out, mollusque. I haven't been paying attention to my wordometer lately. :-)
• over 2 years ago mollusque said
  Hey reesetee, your wordometer's about to reach 11111.
• over 2 years ago bilby said
  Hi dude. I was all excited on my walk today because I thought I had some birdie names you might have missed ... until I got back and saw you already have redstart, chiffchaff, etc. Hang on, there was also a coal tit and I know you love tits. Don't we all?! A few new ones on my Under The Kilt list after I spent a few hours picking the brains of the hostel manager. Be good :-)
• over 2 years ago reesetee said
  Not at all, SoG. I have a mini-zoo of finches. It's better than watching TV. :-)
• over 2 years ago sonofgroucho said
  I see you mention your birds, reestee. What birds do you have, if you don't mind me asking?
• almost 3 years ago reesetee said
  Thanks, cakemix! I switched it from squarehead, another favorite. :-)
• almost 3 years ago cakemix said
  i love your favourite word!
• almost 3 years ago michaelchang said
  Hi reesatee, thanks for having the courage to notify me that I was raping the use of the site with my tags. The horrors are now undone.
• almost 3 years ago reesetee said
  Thanks, all! Do I have to retire and/or go to Disney? I wouldn't mind the former, but I'd prefer not to do the latter. As for crashing the server, I assume John will let me know if it ever comes to that! *fingers crossed*
• almost 3 years ago papageno said
  Yay! Quite a benchmark, reesetee! Surprised you haven't crashed the server yet.
• almost 3 years ago sonofgroucho said
  Congratulations on reaching 10,000 words, reesetee. Are you going to retire now?
• almost 3 years ago oroboros said
  My goodness reesetee, 10K! It's a little like layin' in firewood innit? Eventually you'll have more than you can ever burn and Beelzebub will be tappin' your stash for the fires of hell!!!
  ;oD
• almost 3 years ago sionnach said
  Reesetee: congratulations on reaching 10,000 woids!! What will you do now? Visit Disneyland? You deserve it.
• almost 3 years ago papageno said
  What's so yucky?

  HAHA! There it is, on my profile! Now any time I want that earworm in my head, especially around...say...November 1, I'll know just where to find it!
  
  I can't thank you enough, c_b. Really. But wait 'til next year.

  Hey Reesetee.... You know what today is, don't you? All Saints' Day!
  
  (*singing*) FOR ALL THE SAINTS, WHO FROM THEIR LABOURS RESSSSST...
• almost 3 years ago reesetee said
  Hey, thanks, c_b! I don't know why I didn't see your comment until now. :-)
  
  Had never heard of this bird, but when I went searching for info, I found out that it's apparently a localized term for white-winged scoter. Still, it's worth adding, don't you think?
• almost 3 years ago chained_bear said
  Found another bird wird! Don't know if you have it already, or on which list:
  
  brass wing(ed) diver, a.k.a. Eastern white-winged scoter (Newfoundland English), Melanitta deglandi deglandi. Ca. 1785.

  Astute? Three out of eight? Naaaah. But thanks for the...er...trophy, uselessness! I'll display it, all right. ;->

  You have emerged victorious from Identify the Wordie. You are an astute observer of people on the internet! I mean that in a good way! Make sure to come back for the next game so you can retain your title, champion.
  
  This comment is your trophy. Display it with love for all the world to see.

  Thank you, thank you! I figured it was best to start off that way, instead of wait until later. I've only been here a few times, but this site is going to become my new obsession. -grin-

  No need to apologize--completely understood. :-)
• almost 3 years ago jennarenn said
  Just wanted to apologize in case my comments on rhythm belcher came out the wrong way. You weren't the one I was worried about. :)

  Okay, Facebook's kinda tricky to link to here, because it doesn't use regular usernames. You need to go to your profile page and look at the URL. At the end of it you'll see "id=12345678" ...just copy that ID number and paste it here on your Wordie profile for the link to work right.
  
  And hurry up already, I want to add you as my friend! ;-)
• about 3 years ago reesetee said
  Thanks, Ecrivaine. I'm not very active on those two sites...yet. :-) Most of my free time is swallowed up by Wordie!
  
  Oh, okay--and BookMooch.

  I also added you and sent an invite on LibraryThing. Have a good one. I'm Ecrivaine32 on that site.
• about 3 years ago ecrivaine33 said
  I'm on Blinklist as Ecrivaine32
  
  Looks like you just got started on Blinklist. Feel free to scoop from my over 21,000 links (currently). And thanks for the comment on Wordie.

  Thanks, kalvin--I like how you categorize your lists. Interesting! :-)
• about 3 years ago kalvin said
  thanks reesetee! you have quite an impressive collection here :)
• about 3 years ago reesetee said
  Aw, shucks, palooka. You flatter me. :-) Also, you scare me--I think one of me is quite enough, thanks!
• about 3 years ago palooka said
  Reesetee is an outstanding word-collector, a good guy & an extraordinary and intelligent asset to Wordie! We need more reesetees!
• about 3 years ago slumry said
  You are prescient--I am addicted. Uh-oh!
• about 3 years ago reesetee said
  Trust me--you'll become addicted before too long! :-)
• about 3 years ago slumry said
  Thanks again. I did delete the repetition, but I kind of enjoyed it while it lasted. I liked what you said about the fact everyone uses this site in a unique way--I have gone from "Huh?" to seeing lots of possibilities in 24 hours--and all because Librarything has been down!
• about 3 years ago slumry said
  Thanks for the welcome. I am starting to see the possibilities here.

  Can't be all that enormous if *I* didn't notice it.... ;-)
  
  I really enjoy the fact that everyone uses this site differently. Me, I collect words like pebbles. I see one on the ground and I have to pick it up, look at it, and then stuff it in my pocket with a zillion other words. I'll dump 'em all out when I get home and probably save most of them. Other Wordies thread a few really wonderful words onto a necklace as though they were jewels--not a lot, but dazzling to see. Some pick up the curiosities, beautiful, ugly, or otherwise, and place them on display for others to marvel. Then there are those Wordies who have studios where they invent their own creations. And on and on.
  
  Gotta love it....
• over 3 years ago uselessness said
  Reesetee has an enormous e- ...uh, nevermind. As much as I love hanging around this site and commenting and stuff, I really don't add new words too often. A lot of the time, I'll add a new word just to leave a definition or comment on it, then remove it from my list because I don't have a need for it. Weird.
• over 3 years ago reesetee said
  Whaaaa?? I wasn't even paying attention! Holy Word Monster, Batman! Geez, I hope John has lots and lots of storage room....
  
  Actually, now that you mention it, I've been trying to sort through some of my (unbelievably) long lists and break them down into shorter ones--hence the Foodie list. As always, a work in progress.
• over 3 years ago jennarenn said
  Dang! I just noticed that you've topped 5,000 during my sabbatical. Where do you keep them all? What are we going to do when you get to 10,000?
• over 3 years ago jennarenn said
  Hey reesetee,
  
  Check out WordPlay's profile. It's a game that uselessness and I have created for wordies. Round one starts at 1pm EST today.
