Verbotoweek: The Aftermath of My Right-Brain Verbotomy

In this week’s blahg, I’ll technoblab, arroglance and chronicletwopointoverkill our Verbotomist’s performances. Verbotomy had a superflupress epicdemic of fortythinks and nightbulbs that kept us up all night. After so much sleepdeprivision, some of us were stricken with a rare allergy that caused snotyets gesundhalt achoops and aahaahhalmosts. With one last snease, we pushwhacked our yackberrys in a great show of pushoneupmanship. Hopefully this won’t prescalate into another insomnipiphany and we can spend this coming week windowcopping and warrenebeautyspotting. It’s difficult not to obcell over such excellent words. It does tend to create some buttonenvy, but we should view it not as another irristibutton, but as an inspirwaketion and never lose sight of the ultimate goal – to have fun and be creative.

The Right-Brain Verbotomists!

OMIGOD! JediJawa snatched the prize from StevensonO by just two points! What a creative genius and fierce competitor! We bow in his honor… And Jabberwocky and petaj were right on their tails. (Figuratively speaking of course!) So what can we say to JediJawa? Congratulations! We hope you’re smugmuggling yourself on your blahg! Keep up the good work! We love it!

Of course if you restrained yourself, that would be digiredidnt!

petaj2007-04-10: 07:23:00
One of my favourite entertainments is a magic trick using an Aboriginal wind instrument – prestididgeriduation

Bulletchewer2007-04-10: 07:46:00
Digging Rolf’s wobble board meself, sport. All together now “tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down”.

purpleartichokes2007-04-10: 08:21:00
Aw geez. Another song to get stuck in my head.

Osomatic2007-04-11: 17:13:00
So we tanned his hide when he died, Clyde, and that’s it hangin’ on the shed.

2. The comments on Reblogitate by ErWinn

purpleartichokes2007-04-11: 13:20:00
Ah, you were a pop-up blogger back then. BTW, love the word. Sounds great when you stick out your tongue to emphasize the “blah” sound in the middle.

wordmeister2007-04-11: 14:15:00
Yeah it’s funny… All this new stuff, new technology, and even new words, and it’s really the same old stuff we have been doing forever…

ErWenn2007-04-11: 17:17:00
The difference being is that now there’s a fad for showing off all this stuff to anyone willing to pay attention.

3. Comments: Antichoo

Alchemist2007-04-12: 01:08:00
if you choose to choo, is it a pikachu?

galwaywegian2007-04-12: 04:47:00

purpleartichokes2007-04-12: 04:57:00
He went into the shoe business with his nephew Jimmy.

Good Word!! Also one who swallows their food whole.

Verbotoweek: The week in review

It was a wildly creative week where our players’ imaginations were pushed from forgotten birthdays (James’s personal foley) to virtual brain death thanks to catgrin’s TV/DVD obsessions. I must admit I was completely flintstoned and suffered from painful gomerpiles while watching rikboyee quickly dumbfound the competition with his clever retortise. And I almost went mimeopathic seeing that twinch was overlooked, or undervoted, by our team of expert verbotomists. The winner of the week, cellfish by purpleartichokes, finished on top with a strong lead, despite the fact the it must have been subject to some vote splitting thanks to Ziggy41’s equally clever, and phonetically matched, celfish.

Here are the top five words for the week of April 2 – April 8, 2007.

  1. cellfish
  2. episodomy
  3. retalilate
  4. retortoise
  5. schizoscreenia

Of course, the most fun is often reading the clever reparteasies that often occur between players as they play for verbal oneupmanship. Here are a few of my favorite snippletts…

Bulletchewer ranting on Olsenation

Bulletchewer2007-04-04: 14:33:00
*mimicked And is “annoying” a new euphemism for “hot”?

Jabberwocky2007-04-05: 08:57:00
Yikes!! Bulletchewer has a crush on the Olsens

And of course purpleartichokes’ brilliant word, “thinket“, inspired lots of conversation… It seem that thinkets or, or as bulletchewer calls them “thoughtdiscounts“, are an ever present phemnomen that prove that while the thought may count for something, it does not count for enough. (Attention all males, this is a wake-up call!)

I might actually use this one in real life. – iwasatripwire, 2007-04-06: 13:59:00

Can the sympoms of doghousen syndrome be eased by the sufferer sleeping on the sofa, or indeed in the doghouse? – Bulletchewer, 2007-04-06: 15:20:00

*symptoms – Bulletchewer, 2007-04-06: 15:20:00

I like sympoms better. Pays homage to The Simpsons and celebrates this dohccasion. And “The Couch” brings back such bad memories for my boyfriend that he’d prefer to sleep on my f.u.ton. – purpleartichokes, 2007-04-06: 18:30:00

Ignore his f.u.tile excuses. Tell him you want your birthday celebelated. – petaj, 2007-04-06: 19:57:00

Oooo, celebelate is a GREAT word! – purpleartichokes, 2007-04-07: 06:03:00

One can only hope that our poor James, who confessed while trying to deny it, that this definition reflected his own personal dissendowment, was not completely celeberated.

We are eagerly watching the results this week to see who will win the blessing of Daniel Pink
