Bear with me - just found you guys. This is fun! - administraitor, 2007-06-08: 12:00:00

Wow - excellent start - great word - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-08: 12:34:00

Agreed. I'm pretty new here, too. A lot of these people are out for blood, so watch your back. Fair warning, and welcome, comrade. - Clayton, 2007-06-08: 13:11:00

Don't listen to Clayton, he's feeling a bit petkish today. We're all fine verbfolk! Welcome aboard! - purpleartichokes, 2007-06-08: 14:12:00

I'm pretty new here, too, and so far I'm enamored with the experience. It's a great chance to use words differently and reshape the language to suit the ever-present specter of urban lifestyle with which it has yet be afflicted. Plus we can use words good! It's great silly fun for people who love communicating, too. And I think Clayton's just ribbing you, these are great folks. - jadenguy, 2007-06-08: 15:09:00

Just being silly, of course. And trying to psych out some of the competition. - Clayton, 2007-06-08: 16:28:00

Great word! - Stevenson0, 2007-06-09: 10:16:00

I'm gonna use that one - hatman003, 2007-06-09: 23:53:00

LOL! Or could it be a language spoken when one is without their critter? Sans critter. - petaj, 2007-06-08: 06:04:00

Rintintinspired! - purpleartichokes, 2007-06-08: 06:56:00

Up at 4:30 AM EST to get my butt to work on time. No cows, but a few chickens is not out of the question. - purpleartichokes, 2007-06-08: 09:41:00

love this word - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-08: 12:39:00

Being in Australia really helps with the timing for me. I usually check the cartoon and new definition just before leaving work. Come up with a few ideas on the drive home and then hit the thesaurus and login during the early evening. My problem is, I often don't get to voting before the next definition is up. - petaj, 2007-06-08: 22:10:00

I was going to get into more obscure pets, but I started running into the problem that people are about as likely to eat some animals as they are to keep them as pets. - ErWenn, 2007-06-08: 14:10:00
