  • john For students of ombrology, this site answers the most important question. Oct 19, 2008

  • bilby It's not raining now. Oct 19, 2008

  • chained_bear Oh. Oh dear. *hides face* Oct 12, 2007

  • reesetee Yep. See poor trivet's first comment, below. Oct 12, 2007

  • chained_bear So... wait. Is this a real word? Oct 12, 2007

  • oroboros ...and when heavy mist threatens, I grab my trusty omburg. Unfortunately it only comes in gray and burnt omber...not very exciting Crayola colors. I tried magic markers but they just can't make much headway against the former, and none at all against the latter... Jun 24, 2007

  • reesetee Yes, umbrellas! In retired Crayola colors. Mar 7, 2007

  • chained_bear You know, though, this makes sense. When it looks like rain, I always reach for my ombrella. Sometimes, if it looks *really* rainy, I reach for my hombrella. Mar 7, 2007

  • reesetee Maybe, but somebody got the H out of there. ;-) Mar 6, 2007

  • chained_bear And anyway, I thought ombrology was the study of hombres. Mar 6, 2007

  • trivet Oh, my. I think all of these pseudologies should go on AbraxasZugzwang's wordization list. That goes for vexiology, too, however accidental. Mar 6, 2007

  • reesetee Wrong again! Good heavens; where did you go to school? Clannadology is the study of large groups of Scottish people who collect dolls. Mar 6, 2007

  • chained_bear No, no. That's clannadology. Eeeeeniacology is pronounced with a long e, that's why it's confusing. Mar 6, 2007

  • reesetee I don't think so. Eniacology is, of course, the study of ethereal-sounding Irish music. Mar 6, 2007

  • chained_bear No, no, that's eniacology, reesetee. You're confused. ;)

    Trivet, I thought astacology was the study of the dog in "The Thin Man" movies. Isn't it? Mar 6, 2007

  • reesetee Nah. Crayology is the study of enormously large, room-sized supercomputers, isn't it? Mar 6, 2007

  • trivet I concur. Might be confused with astacology, though. Mar 6, 2007

  • chained_bear I think that's crayology, reesetee. Mar 6, 2007

  • reesetee Are you sure this isn't the study of retired Crayola colors? Mar 6, 2007

  • trivet The study of rain. Mar 6, 2007
