Nice to hear... (I find myself in your lists every now and then)

*Pssst.* Check your tags on vectis. Things have gone a bit slanty.

Here, hernesheir. I bought a bottle of the new Umbrage-Out Stain Remover, specially formulated for Wordnik pages. This oughta do the trick.
-
Hmm. Going to need a little club soda, there.
Umbrage stains like crazy. -
*flees, seeking lost umbrage*
-
*takes umbrage and runs off with it*
-
I never! Umbrage! Umbrage!
Oh, sorry, hernesheir. I spilled umbrage all over your profile. -
Do you have a wheat list by any chance?
-
I suspect that you're the target of a disgruntled cilantrophobe. Reesetee comes to mind.

The other hh also wrote a strange comment on sionnach's page.
Could it be chad? -
Loch Ness Monster? Dr Jamieson?
-
Seems a bit malicious, wouldn't you think?
-
Wormhole? Woody Allen movie?
-
Time warp? Black hole?

Is it possible that two Wordniks have the same screen name? Or could it be some bizarre glitch that came with the new interface?
-
Don't know how that photo got to my profile page. It's not me or anyone I know.
-
I am the real hh, the one who gave us Janet's method.
-
It's strange, isn't it? I thought I was going bonkers when I saw it.
You are the real hernesheir, right? -
?
-
See here.
-
Do you mean somebody uploaded that photo from your account? Can you say with certitude it's not you?
-
Don't know how the photo got loaded onto my profile page. It's not me at all. But the gender is at least correct. Biocon, I too was born in the Gem State.
-
lol
-
Are you male?
-
How did you do that? Which hernesheir is the real hernesheir?
*worries for own sanity* -
You are a hottie with a naughty body.

Hernesheir, you are the heir to brains (see hernes).
-
Hey, I am a native Idahoan.

Would it be possible to do some kind of dynamic linking between Doctor Jamieson and the medical dictionary you are apparently currently browsing. For instance, it would be really fun to hear Doctor Jamieson's words for pyemesis and omphalorrhea? Or ... ponders ... maybe we could just make them up ourselves.

-
No worries, hernesheir. I've been (guiltily) stealing every one of the Scottish bird names you've been listing. (Well, almost every one; a few are already on my "nicknames" list.) It's a delight seeing them scroll by. :-)
As for the birdwatching--I'm insanely jealous! I don't think any of the birds you mentioned have made it to my life list yet, except Canada Goose, mallard, and Red-Tail. How lucky! You must live in an avian wonderland. -
H, I'm loving all these bird names you're posting. Hope you don't mind if I shamelessly nab them. Would it help if you could access my list? :-)
-
do you have a 'third person singular present' list by any chance? :P
-
Congratulations! I'm hoping that move will provide fodder for more lists.
-
I have indeed traded oranges for potatoes, and northern cardinals and bluejays for Canada geese and Gambel's quail. This a.m. I was treated to a skiff of snow. I am privileged to be able to experience the coming of Spring twice this year.
-
Have you traded oranges for potatoes yet?
-
Really? I see only 654.

EEK! Thanks Pro! Fixed.

You misspelled your name on your WOTD list!

@lydunka - my feeling is that the well was nearly dry, so the water level in the well was very low. More rope required to reach the water, and more time and effort required to hoist the bucket.

Come guess me this riddle: what beats pipes and fiddle?
What's hotter than mustard and wilder than cream?
What best wets your whistle? What's clearer than crystal?
What's sweeter than honey and stronger than steam?
What will make the dumb talk? What will make the lame walk?
The elixir of life and philospher's stone.
And what helped Mr. Brunel to dig the Thames Tunnel?
Wasn't it poteen from ould Inishowen?
So stick to the cratur' the best thing in nature
For drowning your sorrows and raising your joys.
Oh lord, it's no wonder, if lightning and thunder
Was made from the plunder of poteen me boys.
--Later verses of the Irish song The Humours of Whisky.
