"...hand jesters..." *blinks* I'll need to check google for that one.

Ahh! Here we go.

"Clown for hearing-impaired royalty." Indeed.

Sorry for the segue! Now, back to our regularly scheduled topic!

Actually it's hoopy and/or frood. Froopy was never actually used in the HH books. Note it says 'derived' in the linked definition.

You may commence eating your towel.

I think you're using the word "yatched" in the wrong context.

Here's a definition of yatch

I can appreciate your joke, but was "yatched" part of it?

Yes, definitely. I just started college, and my roommate brought a dictionary with him. I stopped and realized that I'd never even considered bringing a dictionary or thesaurus with me because I've got M-W.com and even a second opinion with Dictionary.com, and then some non-words that should be at PseudoDictionary.com. It simply never occurred to me to bring a hard copy of a dictionary, because I've grown so dependent on those websites.

As far as encyclopedias go, Google has basically redefined the concept of an encyclopedia for me. With a little query-practice one can find a huge number of resources for just about anything imaginable. Google's almost like an encyclopedia to a library of encyclopedias.

gazorninplat - Something unknown, a thingy, a whatchamacall it of sorts.

e.g., I cant finish this model, I lost the gazorninplat that came with it.

That is from Pseudodictionary.com

But I picked it up from an old ass episode of Garfield and Friends.

Simple enough, set up a website. Something like Karyn's mess of self pity, and collect for support.

Document the events in question, and supply mechanisms to petition the school district, the courts, and the local media. Unfortunately, since the DBS suffering girl is just that, a girl, you probably wouldn't want to post her name (unless it has been posted elsewhere in the media). Of course, that wouldn't keep you from posting her mom's name. If you want help designing the site and setting stuff up, I'll gladly pitch in.

Once you have it set up, I'll pay for Tom's next beer.

Oops: busticated

I knew there was a preview button for a reason ... :(

Gooooood!

My faith-o-meter in this planet just rose a little. That would have busticated me had MS been able to lock in the next generation of kids with their products as a 'punishment'.
