Are you related to Gum E. Bear? (See Roy G. Biv.)
-
I heart you, too.
-
Turns out that as long as we heart each other we can be amazing!
-
And my niece! Happy Birthday to sionnach-sister as well. :-)
-
Congratulations, c_b! This means your new cub shares a birthday with my sister.
-
Oh! Yay! Congratulations!
-
Congrats on the new cub! :-D
-
Don't miss my word of the day for tomorrow.
-
I just re-read the marathon of phony umbrage taking page and laughed my ass off.
Thanks. I needed that. :-) -
Happy National Chocolate-Covered Cashews Day!

You cannot escape the charge that you have previously engaged in the amazing pastime that is IDENTIFY THE WORDIE.
You are therefore prime target material for inviting to IDENTIFY THE WORDIENIK.
The whole of the bit of Wordnik that joins in on this would be truly honoured should you participate this time round.
Easily find the right page right now because it is currently the most commented on list shown on the Community page. -
Umm...?
-
you rained on me today
-
Sure, it's expensive till you figure out pounds-per-square-inch. Those greedy bastards had no right! How the hell do they think my tiara looks with all that damn camo around?!
-
Who knew bears had such expensive taste? (link)

Across the site, in IE8.
(I just tried Firefox and it doesn't do it there! Instead, every last blessed comment is in bold type. Grr.) -
Hi c-b!
I can't replicate that right-click issue you reported. Are you seeing it just on the homepage, or across the site? And what kind of browser are you using? Does it happen for you with all browsers, or just one? -
HI c_b, sorry for the delay on the list paging bug--it's fixed now. Hope all's well.
-
*sings* Happy Birrrthday to da Bearrrr....
-
*sings* Confectio Damocritis to you....

*sings* Thanks, frindley!

*sings* Happy birthday to you!

How old r u ?

♫ It's beginning to look a lot like ram schist. ♫
-
poop-lantern
That is all. -
Why is slalom your least favorite word?
-
And I like your tags--they're helpful.
-
Of course not!
*puts away notebook full of observational notes, tucks camera into vest pocket, and hides book about recognizing specific excrement* -
P.S. I got rather a load of guff for those tags, by the way.
-
Uhh... that's right...
*suspicious*
Are you stalking me? -

Hi c_b. There is a Google-powered 'search-most-of-wordnik' feature, which is kind of hidden right now, since we hope to improve upon it in the future. But at the bottom of every page, the far-right footer link is 'search'.
I love that thing too! -
I love that thing. I like visiting my profile to see it. :)
-
No chains! :-)

-
Hi c_b, Tony just cleared up the glitch in our database that was causing trouble with war tourist. It necessitated removing it from your list, but you should be able to add it back now no problem.
-
This morning I read the first 20 pages of this book and I'm already quite convinced you'd love it.
More Nashe is scheduled, glad you're enjoying it. -
Howdy! Never thought I'd be noticed, there in a corner of Wordie happily playing with my toys (ahem, words) by my contented self... *gryn* Many thanks for the generous compliment on my profile.
-
I'd wager the sender would decline to be a bear if he/she heard about that part.
-
Thanks, oroboros! I actually saw that somewhere... but I think it is negligent in not mentioning tappens. Seriously.... I mean... tappens...
Seriously. -
Hey c_b! This was in my inbox this morning and I thought I'd pass it along to you. Interesting that tappen somehow escaped mention. Hope it's never had your eyetracks on it before.
I want to be a bear......
If you're a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for six months. I could deal with that.
Before you hibernate, you're supposed to eat yourself stupid. I could deal with that too.
If you're a bear, you birth your children (who are the size of walnuts) while you are sleeping and wake to partially grown, cute, cuddly cubs. I could definitely deal with that.
If you're a mama bear, everyone knows you mean business. You swat anyone who bothers your cubs. If your cubs get out of line, you swat them too. I could deal with that.
If you're a bear, your mate EXPECTS you to wake up growling. He EXPECTS that you will have hairy legs and excess body fat.
Yup...... I want to be a bear!
-
Wait. Bears... monkeys.... Um, anyway, did you see that another of your lists was chosen as list of the day?
-
Hey! I think c_b's awesome too! A bit distracted these days with a new lil monkey, but still awesome...
-
Thanks! I discovered Wordie.org only a month before "the change." But what a month it was!
Edit: I can't even remember what life was like before I discovered all the fun to be had here. And I'm very glad you're back. -
What? Er... thanks! You too! (P.S. I've been meaning to ask: did I know you on Wordie.org? By a different name perhaps?)
-
Hello, Chained_Bear, I just wanted to stop by to say that you're totally awesome. Because, well, you're totally awesome.
-
Heya C_B! Congrats on the cub! I'll try to check in more often if you'll do the same.
-
Indeed!! :)

Or, as the military refers to it, ADICI, or "I scream you scream."

chained_bear commented on the word Dred Scoot
This is my favorite typo ever. EVER. Except when I entered it, and Wordnik asked, "Did you mean deed scoot?"

Man. I haven't seen this list in forever. And it still cracks me gup.

chained_bear commented on the word paint with a homemade rubber-band brush
"Loosely secure 20 to 30 rubber bands at one end with another rubber band (the 30 should all be lying in roughly the same direction). Then push an unsharpened pencil into the secured end of the bundle. Tighten the rubber band that's holding everything together by wrapping it around the bundle a few more times. Finally, use scissors to cut all the looped ends of the bands." (From Disney FamilyFun)

chained_bear commented on the word let him color with markers or paint on coffee filters, then use a spray bottle of water
Helps if you flatten the filters overnight first. Also tape them down before coloring.
Feb 4, 2012
chained_bear commented on the word tempera paint in spray bottles
Directions: stir together 1 cup of dry tempera paint with 1 1/2 cups of water and 1/2 teaspoon of liquid dish soap (the soap helps keep the nozzle from clogging). Mix thoroughly, checking that there aren't any lumps. Pour the paints into the spray bottles.
Feb 4, 2012
chained_bear commented on the word washable paint, cut-up sponges, paper in gallon Ziploc bag for no-mess painting
Directions: lightly dampen sponge pieces and apply paint to either side. Put in Ziploc bag with paper and seal bag. Turn kid loose.

Thanks, Mollyhawk! Yeah, I do have A Sea of Words! I love it. Also got the lobscouse and ... whatever it's called, that book of the disgusting food they ate. I went completely batshit for Aubrey/Maturin. In fact just watched M&C again last night and may start reading these books again! Glad you like the list.

Some HTML, comments on lists, comments on profiles, random word, comments on tags, new lists, contributors, profile list of tags, likeness of yarb carved on Mt Rushmore, content, conversations....

chained_bear commented on the word sellate
Reesetee, this is a word for your "It Has a Name?" list, I think.

chained_bear commented on the list features
Can I just second a bunch of these, seeing as ruzuzu, yarb, hernesheir, and bilby have done all the work?

chained_bear commented on the word occupy Wordnik
I freaked out. I mean, I Just freaked the fuck out. It says "show all 200 of my lists" over on the right. I have 260 lists. I thought I lost 60 lists.
I have *GOT* to find a way to archive my stuff. This is crazy.

chained_bear commented on the word comments
Yeah!!! What if, like, somebody thought up this site, okay, where, like, people could just LIST things. And they could comment on other people's lists. And on other people's words! And other people could, like, talk to them, but about WORDS! They should totally call it something like "wordie."

chained_bear commented on the word new interface
Sionnach, are you trying to tell me that Facebook is less private than your comments on Wordnik? ;)
WHY, for the love of PETE, whoever he IS, does this site still take FOREVER to LOAD?!
Oct 20, 2011
chained_bear commented on the word new interface
Still hoping to keep in touch with beloved Wordizens whom I communicate with only on this site. Missing comments, etc. on profiles (etc.) is seriously harshing my mellow.
Also still hoping to continue using this as a research/note-storing site as well as a social one. Not having access to comments is seriously marginalizing my discourse.

chained_bear commented on the word coupling
Ah. British. Okay, thanks.
Still a hideous, hideous word. I'd sooner watch a soap opera called "Probe."*
* No I wouldn't.

chained_bear commented on the word juddering
Me? No, no. You must mean Mrs. Gabaldon.

chained_bear commented on the word coupling
Isn't (or wasn't) this also the name of an Australian soap opera?
Aug 22, 2011
chained_bear commented on the word new interface
*sigh* This is what hurts: in response to the suggestion of a social-only version of Wordnik, which is understandably not in the works:
"Even if we could, it would make Wordnik another soulless flat definitions-only site (and the Internet is full-up on those, or was last time I checked)."
This is true. But it's kind of already become that, for me. :(
Aug 17, 2011
chained_bear commented on the word umbrage
Eeew! Dontcry, can you really secrete umbrage?!
May I submit that sionnach's comment found itself happily transported via a copy/paste feature, and, like Alice of the Drink Me/Eat Me fame, became larger in the new box?

chained_bear commented on the word new interface
Hi all, I've been away on maternity leave for many moons, and before that, insanely busy at work and home, so I just found this page. I logged in to agree with reesetee's comment, then discovered this whole page... that was three hours ago. (Still busy at work, I guess.) I'm heartened to see the continual striving for improvement here, and to see so many of my creaky old-timer buds from the days of yore. But it's also disheartening to see fifteen new things every time I visit--I hardly recognize the ol' place anymore--and wade through all the comments about things not working right--that's after I even find the comments in the first place... and with the page-load times, usually I just say "screw it" and go over to Facebook or some other place. (Which is getting frickin' boring, might I add.)
I do love the dates-on-comments thing. I haven't even poked around enough to see what else I like, though.
So... not sure there's anything actionable or even useful here, but I wanted to throw my coupla pennies in. And say Hi. So... Hi!

chained_bear commented on the word penilize
I could've sworn I had a list somewhere of misspellings I saw in actual work documents. Couldn't find it. Anyway, just saw this one.
Edit: Ho! Here it is.

chained_bear commented on the word Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination
As reesetee says, it's just pants! Or... maybe... PANCE.

chained_bear commented on the word fargin
Who remembers Johnny Dangerously? "Did you know your last name is an adverb?"
Anyway... Joe Piscopo's character was always calling people fargin iceholes. At one point they show a newspaper quoting him and it's actually spelled that way. I still think this euphemism is better than the actual phrase.

chained_bear commented on the word eat what you want day
I've been having "eat what I want day" for... well, going on ten months. I tell you, some whiskey-soaked fufluns en flambé sound pretty fargin good right now.

chained_bear commented on the word proctofoam
I should just mention, again, that as much as I am not looking forward to labor, I know that on the other side of my travail there's Proctofoam. And that makes me feel just a little bit better.

chained_bear commented on the word spraint
See also spraints. Which you'd think, if you're an otter and you're going poo, you'd probably do more than one spraint anyhow. Right? Right?
May 13, 2011
chained_bear commented on the word spraints
See also spraint. Apparently otters can poo just one little bit of poo at a time. What a skill!!

chained_bear commented on the list name-calling-for-fun-and-profit
Ah, now, *that* term belongs on this list! And thank you! It's been a long time since that list (or any of mine, really...) has had any additions. And such a good one.
