I played with your name. 

This is the best news I've come across in recent memory: Uselessness returns to Wordie!

Oh, he's alive. Check out the Wordie Facebook group. :-)

Are you still alive? Should we have a Wordie wake?

And in my hour of uselessness

Good grief. We've lost another one.

Glad to be of service, Darth Treeseed. ;-)

Thank you for your help with the Noxema/Noxzema debacle. I love this site. What fun! Words are so cool.

Dhaero is pronounced "Dhare-oh", similar to "Dare-oh" but the "D" is slightly softer.

Glad you're a fellow Dr.Paul supporter. I'm smitten by him, and am one of the "band of loyal supporters" creating tiny, colorful, handmade signs to stick around town. But it's not looking good for him. :(

Thanks for compliments on Dhaero's name. I created the word but the root is "aero". (That's meant to be a diphthong in there, however, I don't yet know how to type it as such because I'm a technology looser).

Zoiks! Welcome back...er...dangerousness.

Uselessness you're becoming such an essential part of modern life and its signature gadgetry.

After eleven years of using this pseudonym around the internet, the first article about me has finally been written.

Proud to say, the names on my marquee list are "madeupical", as far as I know. If any are already in use, the band is very obscure. Confession time: my list was inspired by your "band" list. But then you probably already suspected that. =^+^=

Hi. You seem to be a large and engaging presence here; a good person to know when just joining. I like your lists very much and all else to be learned about you from your exchanges with other members. I adore words but am somewhat intimidated by the vast vocabularies of folks like yourself. My current mission here is to find a parsifal word to name my new son. His brothers are Odyssey and Meridian. Any ideas?

jenna and rejen. problem solved. :)

That sounds good! Bet the guy made for interesting conversation, too... :-)

for vendetta...

i once went to dinner with david lloyd

it was an all you can eat vegan thai buffet!

Hey Jen! (Yikes, now there's two Jens around here *tries not to get confused*)

So there's really no way to send private messages on Wordie yet, but yeah, a note on a profile is cool. Thanks for the kind words! I also enjoy rummaging through your letter-lists and finding nuggets of randomness. :-D

I'm still trying to figure out the nuances of this message system, but 'Hi!' Your lists are a thing of beauty. -grin-

- Jen

I take full responsibility, I know better than to suggest such a thing.

Haha, that's hilarious! It's funny, I noticed that immediately after I finished the last line, the site went "down for maintenance" so I figured you were probably doing something like that. :-)

Actually I was hoping you might, because while I love leaving that little rabbit trail as an easter egg for future generations to discover, I felt bad about cluttering things up with it all today. So, nice compromise. :-)

Hi U, it cracks me up that you put the entirety of the beer song up, but I got a confused email from a new visitor, wondering what that was doing on a site for logophiles :-)

I hope you don't mind, but I filtered most of them from the front page, so that it didn't completely overwhelm everything else for the weekend. Hope you don't mind -- email me if you do.

Oh, I was out most of last week, but Sera and erinoftheyear admirably stood in my stead. Now all we need is a pun war, and we'll be back in business.

Thanks, oroboros! Looks like you really did have the site more or less to yourself last week, along with jennarenn. Great to see some infrequent and new posters also getting in on the fun, too. :-)

Welcome back y'all. I felt like I had the site to myself last week! Zoomed to the top of the citations list. King for a day! Yay!

I'm a usual suspect (I presume), and I was gone last week. But I'm back now too. Welcome back, uselessness. Hope you enjoyed your trip. :-)

Actually, I think we all timed it rather well. Many of the usual suspects were gone last week.

I hate leaving on vacation because I miss all the fun on Wordie...
but I'm back now. :-)

Woohoo! One of these days maybe we'll have more players, but thanks jennarenn for joining in with me. So what do we really want to call the game? Will we forever just append a question mark?

Huzzah! Congrats to u! Looked like a tough one to me (watching from the sidelines, hours later).

uselessness has emerged victorious from round one of the incredible, the stupendous, the glorious, and tremendous inaugural lightning round of the yet-to-be-officially-named wordplay game, informally and affectionately known as Alphabet Soup(?). Well done.

You're referring to, I suppose, this guy? I don't know... We never did find out who that was... ;-)

Did somebody nail the screendoor shut?

Welcome to Wordie! It's always nice to see a new face around here. :-D

This site is awesome! I'm glad I joined last night.
