Well? Is there?

I believe this is it.

I also believe I get the last word.

Ah. It appears everyone's asleep.

That means I have the last word. Which is 'promulgate.'

Hey, :)

Hey! Radaction isn't a word! (Then again, neither is intemporailty, I realize...)

Never tasted s'mores, though there was a cool post about them on bash.org

Cheers,

P.S. Cool! A warning to assist with...
...crossposting.
Title: Re: Is there going to be a Last Word thread this year?
Post by: TonyLB on April 10, 2006, 01:52:04 AM
Crossposting cannot be the last word.  The last word must be "Smock!"

Post by: TonyLB on April 10, 2006, 01:55:59 AM
Well, if you insist.  To be honest I am very mercenary about it.  I care less that the word be any particular word than that it be MINE.

Is that so? No deal, then.

Jeez, my life is weird. I'm sitting here at 7am on a Monday while my wife is beside me reading the Dragonlance sagas... she has gym at 11, while I will probably have to do some work at some point in the afternoon...

And yet, here I am at a campout...

Here comes that cool crossposting warning again! :) Also, alacrity is a way cool word. Alas, it was not to be!

It would be just like Clinton to just zone out and let this thread go on and on and on for the next six hours.

In fact, it's unfair to even claim that "zoning out" is likely.  More likely he's sitting there watching us perform like little trained monkeys for his amusement.  After all, why would he shut things down while we're doing a good job of whoring our dignity for last-word rights?
