hi jennarenn -- the email for wordplay is an aol one, and it includes the string "frogs". Is that enough to narrow it down?

Hi Jen! Afraid I don't know the password either. I don't have it in any of my email inboxes, and I didn't receive the password requests you generated. I tried a few standard passwords I use for things like this and none of them work. Are you sure the user still exists on this site? I can't remember what the procedure was for migrating accounts over from Wordie.

You're getting the hang of tagging, jenn :-)

Two tags! I'm now up to two tags!!!
edit: I just noticed that I have more citations than words. What really surprises me is that most people have more words than citations.

The Terrible Towel became a thing during the 1970's when sportscaster Myron Cope talked about the Steeler fans waving towels in the stands during games. Since then, Terrible Towels have been made in the team's black and gold colors and you see tens of thousands of them at Steeler games. Fan twirl them in circles over their heads. Lots of fans twilr towels, but I think it origininated in Pittsburgh.

Jennarenn, I just noticed your comment on the frass page about teaching a "cricket unit" in September (and I'm assuming you weren't just kidding) and I wondered if you knew about the newly released book "The Songs of Insects" by Lang Elliott and Wil Hershberger. I just received my copy and it's a stunner--complete with CD of cricket and cicada songs for each entry. Photography is amazing too. Highly recommended, especially if you're really going to teach a cricket unit!

For what it's worth, I found the mentions page behind the "wordie in the news" link at the bottom of every page. There are a couple new links down there that my attention was drawn to, but this one is particularly mysterious because of its URL. :-)

I am so confused, and it is way past my bedtime. When you click on add, it goes to the words you've recently added. If you're not signed in, it goes to the main page. My poor little brain can't take it.

That's the best worst first sentence I've seen in a long time.

I think the way you're doing it is the only way, at the moment. It's a great suggestion, I'll add it to the 'to-do' list, though it's behind fixing commenting and adding paging in a few spots where it's desperately needed. I'm batty with other things lately, poor Wordie has to stay in the back seat a while longer.

Anybody know how to change the order of your lists once you've made them? The only way I've found is to create a new list and transfer the words one...at...a...time.

I initially heard about Kiva from a guy who worked for a different microloan nonprofit in DC. It's encouraging to see the # of repaid loans vs. the # of defaulted loans. The overwhelming majority of these folks make good, which is more than the average American can say.

On a side note: I've finally figured out why turkey bacon exists. It is kosher. For years, I thought it was because turkey was healthier than pork. Since bacon is usually fried, I couldn't see why you'd care. I know you're all thinking, "duh jen", but this was one of moments when the world suddenly made sense. Clearly, I need my horizons broadened.

English is a language of loanwords. That's why we have several names for everything (dresser v. chest of drawers), and so many spelling quirks. I would have said that sari was a loanword, while ennui was fully English by now. Each to his own.

Well, mixhere, first you get some words. Then you ask them to line up. They're going to push and shove, and everybody, and I do mean EVERYBODY, will want to be first. Once you marshal the troups into some sort of order, you drop them one at a time into the little box and click add. Suddenly, you have a list.

Don't you hate it when you dial a WrongNumber???
edit: I fixed something and now the code doesn't work. Help! (No, I didn't change the actual code. Yes, it was working before.)

I *love* P.D.Q. Bach!!! How do you play a dill piccolo?

February 14, 2008

Actually, I'm not sure. Depends on your definition of pop music.

jennarenn commented on the word slap bracelet
Somewhere, there is a picture of me sporting a gold slap bracelet in the early 90s.
February 13, 2008

Clue got expanded into a movie at some point in the 80s. It's the only movie I know of with three different endings.
February 13, 2008
jennarenn commented on the word laura ingles wilder
Well, then it's a happy accident that she didn't make the list. :)

jennarenn commented on the list more-reasons-to-eat-refined-sugars
This is one of the few lists that would actually be better in real life. :) (Not meant as a diss on yo' list.)
Seriously, can you imagine some of the real-life items that lists represent just piled on top of each other? Then again, maybe you can't. I tend to find my own fun.
February 13, 2008
jennarenn commented on the word s’mores
Why does this need to be explained? Have some people actually missed out on the entire s'more experience?!?!?!
*collapses in a histrionic fit*

jennarenn commented on the word leaves
I was made to read Leaves of Grass in school. I know some people love that stuff, but I wasn't a fan at the time. See Free Associations list.
February 12, 2008
jennarenn commented on the word laura ingles wilder
Author of Little House on the Prairie. While I'm at it, is this legal on the Free Association list?
edit: Beaten to the punch. Laura Ingles will have to float off into the blue (white?) until somebody claims her.
February 12, 2008
jennarenn commented on the word child, worried, husband, worried, parent, worried
Wasn't there a word for this? I seem to remember something about somebody's father....

Often the currency of toilet-training for little boys. (vandanbladderstiddles????)
February 12, 2008
jennarenn commented on the word nought
Wordies love puns. Here's a new one from fearnought screen.
February 12, 2008
jennarenn commented on the word stot
The problem is that pronk is the first word that I free-associate with stot. While I am thrilled that both words made it on the list, I see an endless loop up ahead. Somebody else needs to take the reigns.
February 12, 2008
jennarenn commented on the word teh alsome

February 11, 2008
jennarenn commented on the word velveeta
John, I think we may be talking about the same recipie. Mine only has four ingredients: broccoli, crackers, butter, and Velveeta.
February 11, 2008
jennarenn commented on the word velveeta
What I love is those tubs of spreadable port wine cheese. Slightly sketch; perfectlty wonderful. (I also have a good recipie that calls for Velveeta, but I never know what to do with the rest of the brick.)
February 10, 2008

February 7, 2008
jennarenn commented on the word swedish fish
I *have* had the chocolate Twizzlers, and I admit that they confused me. They have the texture of licorice and the flavor of chocolate. Now if you found something with the opposite features, I could be a fan.
February 5, 2008
jennarenn commented on the word head register
Hee-hee. It's usually left to uselessness to spice up the conversation with a dashing pun. Wonder where he's gone.

February 4, 2008
jennarenn commented on the user jennarenn
I have 999 words. I'd like to add another couple of lists, but I find myself reluctant to get into the quadruple digits. Maybe I can find something to prune first....
February 4, 2008

January is a slow time in the Let's Talk About Old Stuff industry. I'm betting that c_b is on vacation.

January 31, 2008
jennarenn commented on the word garage band
So...what would you call a band that performs in a women's restroom? It wasn't great music, but the venue was memorable. It's also the only event I've ever attended that was broken up by the police. :)
January 31, 2008
jennarenn commented on the user thesuperiorbeing
That's okay. Wordie is very forgiving. You can ignore her for months, and she'll still give you a monster hug when you return. :)
January 31, 2008

Oh! Oh! Oh! I can't wait to go home and find The Sleep Book. We used to quote that one 'round the jennarenn house.

jennarenn commented on the word clotted cream
WONDERFUL on scones, and it's got that great short o sound to boot.
Fortunately, jennarenn's waistline is not affected by her wordie comments. When posting becomes caloric, she'll be in trouble. ;)
January 29, 2008
jennarenn commented on the list i-do-not-like-them-sam-i-am
I must not be as sensitive as other folks, but it sure is a fun list.

January 27, 2008
jennarenn commented on the word wilbur
Our family's favorite Mr. Ed episode was the one where he's driving a van. You see this hoof step on the gas, which just sent us into fits of giggles. When Ed (inevitably) gets pulled over, he's wearing goggles, a scarf, and a driving cap. Brilliant show.

Charm bracelets are less than charming. I find that they tend to get in the way.
January 23, 2008
jennarenn commented on the word swimming trophy in the form of a swimmer
I coached a summer league team for five years and always wanted to get my kids these really cool trophies. If you scroll down you'll see that the swimmer is actually horizontal. They were out of our price range, but the team got me one as a going-away present. :)
January 23, 2008

Lovely. Does Jesus go here, or does he get a list of his own?
January 22, 2008
jennarenn commented on the word awkward starfish
I was just coming here to ask about the awkward turtle. Is the awkward starfish another cool, new thing that high schoolers are doing? I feel ancient.
