cooter muffaloon

reesetee Sionnach--not to worry. I meant to appear mock-insulted. Should have added some telling emoticon. Like this. :-) Although I do worry, when I'm adding a gazillion words at a time, about overwhelming the comments list....

Someday they'll find evidence of a lesser-spotted rufous towcheeked titfinch's breeding ground, and then we'll all have a good laugh. ;-> Dec 12, 2007

sionnach r_t: The mocking comes from a place of pure love - please think of it as more of an homage. And feel free to make fun of my lists at any time - most are highly mockable.

c_b: Shucks, you're making me blush. (And congratulations on reaching the 5,000 mark!) Dec 12, 2007

chained_bear Two things. I have to say just two things. 1) This is the best string of words ever put together in the history of words, or strings:
Nickname given by the mythic fierce nomadic goat-sacrificing* tribes of Ireland's central Bog of Allen to the rare lesser-spotted rufous towcheeked titfinch.
And 2) Sionnach, if you don't add sphagnopreservation right now, I'm going to do it. Dec 12, 2007

reesetee Now sionnach, have I ever mocked your lists?? Dec 11, 2007

sionnach Nickname given by the mythic fierce nomadic goat-sacrificing* tribes of Ireland's central Bog of Allen to the rare lesser-spotted rufous towcheeked titfinch.

Both the nomadic hunters and the cooter muffaloon had been believed to be extinct until the stunning discovery of perfectly preserved specimens of each were dug out of the bog, Encimo Man style, in 1999 by I.R.A. members engaged in the hiding of stolen artwork in the bog. It appeared that ancient Druidic scientists, exploiting the remarkable congruence between the ancient Ogham alphabet and the universal DNA code, had figured out how to suspend the usual telomeric processes that lead to apoptosis, which allowed them to store bodies for sphagnopreservation and future reanimation.
