Lots of similar thinking on this one.
wordmeister - 2007-03-01: 22:10:00
Hey ErWenn, The way I see it there are two groups of words here. Those who like runners:Easystriders, Pedoton, Marathrong, and your Jogstalt. And those who don't: Stompede, Jogmob, Syncrunidiots, Stampedestrian, and the Shoekluxklan! Overall -- very creative!
