bilby Lock Me Up. Wheeee!

ruzuzu Then I nominate you to make one, sir. Dec 14, 2012
bilby Funnily enough, we don't appear to have any real lock-themed lists! Dec 14, 2012
ruzuzu Sometimes I try to search for (what I think must be) the most obvious words for a new list before I compile the list (e.g., it's why I tried to list herring and pickled herring on the herring list). But with non-obvious list (like the variations on the STF lists), we require kind captains to steer us in the right direction. Then we can plunder those lists as we like (Arrr! (&c.))--with grudging attribution or credit in the list description, of course. Dec 13, 2012
bourbonmots So many interesting lists. Being an infrequent visitor, I miss the ability to browse through several weeks worth of recent lists. It seems now someone can post a list and it will disappear off the community page in a day, or even a few hours (especially when the locksmiths come aspamin’), and one would never know it was created.

bourbonmots Not to mention numerous fish lists. Dec 13, 2012
ruzuzu I like reesetee's earlier comment about how it's interesting to see what ends up on one list and not another. In the old days on Wordie, we didn't have capitalization (or much punctuation). But it's also fun to see what we're independently fascinated by--I think frogapplause, hernesheir, and I each have lists about traps. There are also a few of us fascinated by heraldry, and mining, and the entire sweet tooth fairy kingdom. It's fun to see what we have in common. Dec 13, 2012
reesetee And...well, here. May 17, 2011
Prolagus And here. Jun 16, 2010
ruzuzu And here. May 27, 2010
reesetee Ooh! Is it a paper gowns list? May 14, 2010
dontcry I thought of a list as I was sitting in my doctor's office wearing a paper 'gown' today. Maybe I'll see if it exists... *runs off to make list* May 14, 2010
ruzuzu I'd say "and here" for most of sonofgroucho's lists, but there are too many. May 13, 2010
fbharjo It could also be called vatic. Vatic comes from the indo-european root wet- that means to blow or to inspire. May 13, 2010
chained_bear I just read this thread and clicked on all the links. This is all kind of iroquoisy, innit? May 13, 2010
ruzuzu And here. May 13, 2010
Prolagus And here (but read holey moley guacamole first). Apr 10, 2010

Prolagus And foreordain. Jun 19, 2009
reesetee Not to worry, ptero--it's always interesting to see what ends up on one list but not the other. :-) Dec 11, 2008
pterodactyl And here.
Gosh -- it seems like every time I make a list, I discover that someone else has already made it! Dec 11, 2008
pterodactyl Oh, and also here. Dec 11, 2008
pterodactyl And here. Dec 11, 2008
