Herne. I aver I am Herne's heir, at least on-line.
Thank you, hernesheir. I don't mind a bit... and, in turn, I hope you don't mind that I've been following your tweets, too.
Thank you for the nice comment on my list.
Hey. First time I read your profile. How interesting! I'm a PhD student currently working on urban ecology. Nice to meet a (sort of) colleague here!
Dear Herne the Hunter, thank you for helping me with my traps.
You're getting close to Bicentennial Tag Day as well, hernesheir. :)
Yea, hh! Happy bicentennial. Just watch for the Y2K problem as you breeze into your third millennium. Or chiliad, if you prefer to be Greek about it.
As I (apparently) said 8 months ago - your contributions are da bomb!
But I know nothing of this Dublin coddle dish you seem to be partial to.
I achieved the "American Bicentenial" of Wordie word submissions today - number 1976. Not an occasion for fireworks, and merely a drop in the bucket compared to the 20,000 word Wordie "framers", but still a milestone for me. I've so enjoyed all of you Wordies and all your words (and phrases, and madeupicals, and lists, and of course, your comments)! Celebrate Wordie with me today!
Felicities to all ye Wordie-lubbers on this Int'l Talk Like a Pirate Day.
Thanks for your suggestions to my geology word list! I made the list public so feel free to add words to it. :)
thank you for the -ic words!
Done with cheese-listing for a bit: must tend to my Dublin Coddle and the oversized pork roast and vegs I'm cooking for the troops...Thanks for all your cheesy comments! --hernesheir
Thank you for your cheese list! I have another Asperger-like list (i.e. a long list, not related to other Wordies' interests): Italian bread varieties.
OCD (see John's earlier comment, below:) OCD = Obsessive Cheeselisting Disorder
And all manufacturers of dairy products.
Yes!
Blessed are the Cheese Makers (and blessed be the cheese listers!) Cheese, for those who look on the brighter side of life.
Don's stop, hernesheir, Wordie feeds off your OCD! I'm really enjoying the deluge of cheese.
Folks - I acknowledge and solicit your patience - I'm shotgunning a kabillion cheese names into a list while piecing on a nice extra sharp New York cheddar. I'll tire or get bored soon!
Thanks, sionnach. I've wanted to ask you a question: Are you the person who posted a recipe for Dublin Coddle on another site last year?
I would like to echo what c_b stated so eloquently; your contributions are da bomb!
May I take this opportunity to record something I've been thinking these last few weeks? The collection of terms and comments you have added to this site has been very interesting and eclectic. I am impressed and gratified by your contributions and look forward to future ones. :)
Thanks for your input hernesheir. Some of 'em are already on my Toot toot, beep beep list.
