Thanks, h!

Taeniopygia bichenovii - double-barred finch.

It seems the wirdie.com registration has been allowed to lapse.

Yes, the Furtive Flycatcher. Secretive little critter. :-)

Furtive? Whahaha :->

We should start a Wordie fan site on wirdee where we tell meta-jokes about the meta-conversations that we meta-have on Wordie.

Or, we could use it as a testbed to test out new Wordie features that aren't quite ready for prime time.

over 2 years ago reesetee said:

HaHA! So THAT's it! You're right, uselessness. I remember wondering what that was all about. Must have been Trickster John all along. And you did list wirdee 6 months ago, according to the time stamp.

Love it....

over 2 years ago uselessness said:

That explains it! I remember a while back when somebody (reesetee, I think) noticed that the text on the home page said Wirdee, and assumed it was some April Fools joke or something. Shortly thereafter it seemed to correct itself, and we never did get closure... ;-)

Edit: I just looked up the word page for Wirdee and it seems I was wise to things even back then!

over 2 years ago John said:

Little known fact: Wordie was almost called 'Wirdee.'

Anyone want to start another word site? I still own wirdee.com ;-)

over 2 years ago reesetee said:

Oooh, you're right! Thanks for pointing that out, rocks. I'd never tried that option on this page.

This list makes a particularly nice cloud.

over 2 years ago chained_bear said:

Oh, these are so swell. I wish we could use them in regular conversation that isn't about birds.

"Hey Bill, how was the party last night?"
"Oh, it was totally ferruginous. We all got roseate and ended up photocopying our fulvouses. How was dinner with the guys?"
"Dude, it was neotropic. We hooked up with these chicks afterwards? One of them was cerulean, and the other was kinda palmated. I ended up with the plumbeous."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah, she was sweet. All you do is buy her a couple of pomarines on the rocks and she's all yours."
"Sweet."

over 2 years ago reesetee said:

Thanks, palooka--that's one of my favorites, too, along with ferruginous.

Great idea for a list! I liked "flammulated".
