Blog Announcement!
Wednesday, April 1, 2009
Game: if you're commenting, and I do love it when people comment (validate me! validate me! I have no existence unless I am observed by others!), you might notice the "word verification" thing that ensures you are not a spam-bot.
At the end of your post, define the word that the verification gives you. There will be an actual prize, eventually (by Xmas, I think), for the best one. I have shamelessly stolen this idea from the blog of David Brin.
4 comments:
Noppr - Someone who, though tired beyond all reasonable measure, is prevented from taking refuge in sleep due to being sat at a desk (usually at work, though in the case of a noppree little work will actually be taking place).
Sometimes caused by being set a tedious task by your employer, or 'nopprific'...
Good one.
My own (not eligable for prizes):
"Noppr" - the rounded tool formerly used for securing tops to milk bottles. Replaced by automation only six months after invention. The Noppr Museum is listed as the sole Place of Interest in the Wikipedia article on Scunthorpe.
Do entries have to be on this post, or can we multiply-enter [no sniggering in the back there] by defining the verifitticky word whenever we comment?
Does the winner get to choose the prize?
I suppose entries do have to be in comments on your blog.
;0)
This is the only thing i've found yet that's better in Blogger than WordPress. I've been collecting these words for some time, cos they have potential as names of characters and places.
Anyway, reneor is to neor for a second time.
And having previewed n edited, i am given mulneden, which is the practice of denying, while EITHER holding one's nose OR suffering a broken nose or nosebleed (though some authorities hold that mulneddlibbnen is the more correct term in the latter case), that one has recently ingested mulled wine.
Yep, any entry on t'blog.
It's not a shameless way to attract readers (but...tell your friends anyway) and, as to the prize...
Perhaps entrants should sort themselves out a Wish List, perhaps at Amazon?
