Back to claim the title of "best binoculared robot" from the painfully adorable Variety reports that Johnny 5 is set to return in a updated version of the 80s flick
mollusque commented on the word binoculared
Birders, conservation officials and ornithologists who know of credible Ivory-billed Woodpecker reports may have refused to offer them to the birding public, which would swarm like binoculared locusts into any region thought to have Ivory-bills.

Mollusque! A reader after my own heart! Good book. I just happen to be reading The Grail Bird right now, too. :-)

Sorry to disappoint, reesetee, but I haven't read the book; I found the quotation through Google Books. I'm stalking panvocalics in the wild by finding words that have all but one of the vowels, adding prefixes or suffixes that complete the set, then searching online to see if the word exists. Hence binocular > binoculared.

Ah, I see. You're stalking a whole other kind of wild creature. :-)

It's rather like hunting snarks. Get your imaginary prey lined up between your googly eyes and see if anyone has conjured it into existence. This morning I found valentinous, a previously unnoticed word with all the vowels in alphabetical order. Other words dance tantalizingly in the shadows: "gubernatoric", which seems to have no bona fide uses in English, but exists in Georgian. Every few months I take a look to see if someone has naturalized it.

No wonder Wordie's a playground for you. All these madeupical words.... :-)
