reesetee Oh, forget it, s. It's hopeless. Not even I know what I am anymore.
Nice barcode, Pro. At long last, Wordie can be scanned. Apr 25, 2008
Prolagus I had to add that tag. Apr 24, 2008
sionnach Yet again, we come face to face with one of Wordie's eternal mysteries: just what is a reesetee, anyway? Apr 24, 2008
chained_bear Nice try to throw us off, there, reesetee. You've been a monocled raconteur all this time. Thankfully, as VO's illustration shows, your monocle chain means you can pull it out of the potage if it falls in..... Wait! Does this mean reesetee is chained too?! Apr 24, 2008
reesetee Can't be. I'm a potager. The monocle would fall into the soup. ;-) Apr 24, 2008
chained_bear Why... why, that looks just like reesetee!! Apr 24, 2008
pterodactyl Ah, that must be what lethora and rolagus did. Apr 24, 2008
vanishedone You can convey the suggestion of an extra initial P- by wearing a monocle and referring to everyone as Comrade. Although

may have to do for the Wordie monocle. Apr 23, 2008
plethora Maybe because my mother is a librarian, but that's what comes to mind when I think of barcodes, every time. :)
As for your other job... I'll have to think about it. Apr 23, 2008
reesetee Heehee. Doesn't work here, does it?
Signed, pReeseTee
Edit: ptero, we must have posted at exactly the same ptime. Apr 23, 2008
pterodactyl It's never too late for a new nickname, psarra and preesetee! Just follow the example of pbilby and pchained_pbear. Apr 23, 2008
Prolagus ha ha (response)! Apr 23, 2008
sarra /nick psarra
damn it! Apr 23, 2008
reesetee Is this page only for people with screen names beginning with P? Oh, wait, VanishedOne was here. ;-)
Ptero, good luck to you--just thinking about being in school again while working makes me tired. And VO, thanks for the link to one of my favorite sites. :-) Apr 22, 2008
pterodactyl Yes indeed, plethora! Well, sort of. I'm working on my master's degree to become a proper librarian. Until then, I'm just a weekend aide at my library's circulation desk.
That's one job guessed, one to go... Apr 22, 2008
plethora Are you a librarian? Apr 22, 2008
pterodactyl Beautiful stuff, VO -- thanks for the link!
But no, I am not an artist. Apr 22, 2008
vanishedone Artist? (N.B. the linked page is fairly image-heavy, so best avoided on 56k.) Apr 22, 2008
pterodactyl I am neither a geneticist nor a cashier. But you're close! Apr 22, 2008
Prolagus The same kind of barcodes? Or are you a geneticist and a cashier? Apr 22, 2008
pterodactyl I have two jobs. Both of them rely heavily on barcodes. Apr 22, 2008
Prolagus I love the sound of this word. So misterious. Apr 22, 2008
