  • I can't believe I wasn't referenced on this! I am outraged! Nobody porches like me. I have two porches which often host porching events simultaneously! I have been porching for decades. My ferns, wicker, swings, rockers, and cucumber sandwiches are LORE. Are you kidding me? wordspy - it is on!

    March 12, 2012

  • As we all know -- I'm not a computer...um... person. I wanted to add a new word to one of my lists and I can't even get to my own page! I don't see a way to my own page -- with my own lists. Am I gone? That would be a shame as I made up an awesome word today and I wanted to share it with my wordies... *wah*

  • I'm agreed with deinony - I think bread can be pre-toastified, post-toastified, and even re-toastified, but it can not be de-toastified. Kind of like un-ringing a bell. Or unbutterfying a cat.

    I think the real question here is: if you defenestrate a buttered cat, will anyone care.

  • Mmmm, my madeleines are a combination of musty wood, mothball-scented linens and strong coffee in the morning. I'm there - at the cottage.

  • yarb - Agreed. As something of an expert on all things hork... *ahem* computer breakage is bork.

  • Here's some more Johnson noise from dontcry (since I can't seem to post from my profile page anymore): I haven't visited wordie-nik for quite a while as my experiences have become less and less satisfying. It seems, now, that all of my pronunciatins have been wiped out... Ciao from The Porch, baby. Thanks for the memories!

    November 17, 2011

  • In my experience (every night for 30 years) the Johnson noise sounds more like a mooing cow being put through a chipper. Not to put too fine a point on it. See snorifice.

  • From the "beating a dead horse" department: I clicked on quinoa in the 'recently pronounced' section and actually heard it pronounced! Yay! I then clicked on the next word and -- nothing. I then re-clicked on quinoa and -- nothing.

    I have not been here for quite a while. I find it so tedious to wait for pages to load that I lose interest. FYI from dontcry.

    emmenthaler = cheese

    Elzevir = coin toss - font?

    stoup ? = *tsk tsk*

  • Hey - I just heard this recently pronunced word pronounced!

    No I didn't. :-(

  • Hey! I just heard the pronunciation of solder.

    j.k. ...

    Here's my Garrett Morris take on it:

    SOLDER: PRONOUNCED - "SOD-ER" NOT "SOUL-DER"

    August 16, 2011

  • *nom, nom, nom*

  • Bear: Only when I'm REALLY put-off.

    August 16, 2011

  • While we're focused on the pronunciation situation... it might be handy if, when you clicked on a word in 'Recent pronunciations,' you were taken to the bottom of the page - where the *pronunciations* are - will be. *flops back on porch swing*

    August 16, 2011

  • *has secreted some emergency umbrage under the porch*

    August 16, 2011

  • When I click on the arrow in the pronunciations section of each word's page, I hear no pronunciation -it just bumps me up to the very top of the page. And I'm only clicking on words listed in the most pronunciated section on the *community* page. I have no trouble hearing anything else on my computer...

  • Probably my favorite Christmas Carol I don't know all the words to...( there are many). But it's a tune I can get down with.

    August 8, 2011

  • Never.

    August 8, 2011

  • *whines a bit*

    I can't hear any pronunciations... Am I doing something wrong? Should I start pointing fingers around the house? Mr dontcry is still a little sore about the whole marmite experience... so he's suspect numero uno...

    August 6, 2011

  • What about the European daisy...? Hmmm?

    August 6, 2011

  • Stick with door number 1. Definitely. And be a sport about it. Nobody likes a sore loser. Especially a goat.

    August 6, 2011

  • Still and all, I'd take the plantation shutters. They're a timeless fashion statement.

    August 3, 2011

  • I think the value has to include a sustainability quotient. If the goat is a lactating female, you've got a bit more of a fair fight on your hands. If you've purchased a tiny nub of goat cheese recently, you get my drift.

    August 3, 2011

  • I'll take horizontal blinds, plantation style, for $200.

    August 3, 2011

  • Ahhh, the age-old 3 doors, 2 goats and a car conundrum.

    The answer is: blue -- no, green *aaaargh*

    Wait, that was another Monty altogether.

    But yeah, nothing below in 'visuals'.

    I can't hear pronunciations anymore, um, here.

    Wordie: what have you wrought?

    July 23, 2011

  • I'm sure your right, rol. I'm stickin' with graphic designtrix just the same! I'm dangerous today.

    *sigh*

    July 22, 2011

  • I'm going to start adding 'trix' to the end of random words to see how long it takes mr dontcry to figure it out. And here I thought another weekend on the sofa with leg propped up was going to be a drag. If I only had some marmite...

  • Pro - You know me - I'm on just a regular old pc at home - no fancy pads or pods or books, or whatevers... Anyhoo, on my 'puter, the "t's" (in the font used for text above the comments section) have little blobs on their bottoms. Looks like a premature period, a bit too low and to the left.

    June 20, 2011

    May 28, 2011

  • Yes! Thank you frog! I tried to google -- but I'm not the best at that. Bear, it makes me feel good that you remember it as well. There was just something so...primordial...for lack of a better term, about that. The writing for that show was...just tits.

    May 24, 2011

  • I use this phrase quite regularly.

    May 23, 2011

  • I was a faitful M*A*S*H* fan. One scene that, for some unknown reason, always stuck with me took place in the Swamp. BJ was washing a pair of socks. Hawkeye asked BJ why he kept washing the socks as he never wore them. BJ answered something like: "If I wear them they will get ruined, but if I just keep washing them, they'll stay nice forever." I always thought that was so poignant. Nobody I know can recall that scene, but it always is the first one I think of when the topic of M*A*S*H* comes up.
