I think we all deserve cake now.
After another 299 comments we can discuss the Champagne and the chocolate dipped strawberries.

We should all celebrate the minor triumphs in life.

I have noticed several people using long words and goining 'points'. I obviously missed how this came about but I would like to know how to qualify. Are points awarded for any word bigger than 'marmalade'?

Login

-o +a ... and do we have to spell them correctly?

Baldur

Login, I have been rewarding myself for improving my vocabulary for some time now, a few others have since followed suit (probably mockingly an a good natured manner).
The word need not be as long as 'marmalade', but it must be a word not seen often in daily usage.
It also must be spelled correctly and used properly.

Though I generally award myself 10 points per occasion the scores are indeed arbitrary.

Baldur

'Arbitrary' would itself be a good word for extra points but one can only get points for a word the first time you use it and Baldur took those credits long ago

Thanks for the explanation, Baldur. ( ... goes away muttering "doesn't have to be bigger than marmalade, not often used, first time used ...")

The nerve of some people...

(eyeing Dragon's post... yearning to know if it was really deleted --or typed to look that way originally!!!!!)

Baldur

Qsilv, it was deleted.
There was a joke there that some may have deemed in questionable taste.
I'm glad that I copied it and sent it along to friends before it vanished.

Baldur

matthew, you do not capitalize it yourself...
Besides which I for one never believed it was your given name.
Baldur's given name is not Baldur, but rather a name that is somewhat commonplace .
For those interested in puzzles Baldur's surname is rather difficult and of Lithuanian origins. If you took the letters and ordered them alphabetically you would have: AACIKNRSSTZ.
Talk about a tongue twister.
I believe in web-anonimity so I shan't (+10 points for Baldur) confirm if any of you actually guess the correct spelling of my surname.

Baldur

Asszitcrank is NOT it; neither is is Ranckasszit

Ah, Baldur, you believe in web-anonimity, so you believe in me! I'm touched. I feel like peter pan, or was it tinkerbell? Anyway, that makes me either a boy who never grows up, or a fairy. I'll settle for that!

Baldur

Baldur made 2 versions of Shepherd's Pie for dinner; one being vegetarian.
That was a good choice for a cold, damp, rainy day.

Baldur

That settles it, IamAnonymous is Michael Jackson.
The case is solved.

Baldur

Michael, I still cry whenever I hear 'I'll be there'.

BTW is it CANT KISS ARZ?
