Aklunista
(ah-clue-NEES-tah)
A random word that popped into my head several weeks ago (happens a lot) which is currently serving the purpose of naming the Usurper of Surriskar in the Ethettere Chronicles. She is a scaly kangaroo-ish creature that is very voilent, and deals with any intruders herself instead of sending guards out to capture and/or kill them.
Another random word – Ouriel
(OR-ee-el)
Another word that popped into my head, somehow found out that it was an angel of fire on some website.
Yet another – Selvana
Another word that just waltzed into my head, currently naming a princess in a book I’m writing.

Zoifluffle
The feeling when you know the word that describes what you’re trying to say, and you know you know it but you forgot it and can’t remember, and you’re trying to explain by describing whatever it is you’re trying to say and failing miserably. And the other person is just standing there smiling and nodding and thinking you’re an idiot.

Once upon a time, there was a boy who had subscribed for like 3 years. His favorite books where Alice in Wonderland, through the looking Glass, and Surely you’re joking, Mr. Feynman! Plus 672 no in the top 3. He also was one of the few people who associate words with colors, and colors with smells, smells with numbers, and some number with words. Anyways, here’s my word:
OpenMag- To view magazines on such open source things including Firefox, Linux, or a Dvorak keyboard. Not really opensource, but associates well with it.

Vorilite- A rare mineral that forms when large quantities of one stable element and one unstable one fuse under massive heat and pressure.

Acquileir- A being that takes on the form of an animal that embodies a certain quality in the mind of the observer, depending on the qualities of the acquileir. For instance, a stubborn acquileir would probably appear to be a mule or donkey, if mules embody stubbornness in the mind of the observer. Nobody knows what they look like when they are not observed, as this malleability of form extends also to any photographs of acquileirn.

Kamikaze Watermelon: a watermelon indigenous to the animated “The Demented Cartoon Movie”. It is seen whenever someone says the words “kamikaze watermelon”, and will instantly fly into the nearest brick wall or head, whatever the case may be. It has, in fact, been proven to be faster than kamikaze cars, winning a race. Whenever it comes, it is accompanied by a very short fanfare, which consists of two notes of one pitch and then one a bit higher than those. It is dangerous, having, when it ran into a head, knocked it off.

From what I’ve read of my ten, it seems that the MBers quickly got over the GABOOMBA format and immediately acclimatized to the blog. There were relatively few newbies in those days- all GABOOMBA veterans. It could be called the Post-GABOOMBA era, but another major trend in those days was reading in all its forms. I think the best title would be the Literary Epoch. However, this is only tentative, and I still have about four threads to go.
It would help if someone else came to this thread.

No, wait, I just thought of something.
The next time someone else posts, he or she will receive 1 spdzk point. When someone posts a report as outlined in 127, he or she will receive 5 spdzk points. This will continue until I no longer have any spdzk points.

128- Oh no you’re not.
These ten posts cover the first two threads to wish people a Happy Birthday, but neither were a general Birthday thread like we have now. A trend I noticed: People seemed eager to help when help was needed. Also, several of those threads had less than 100 posts, and were only closed in fall 2006.
Is that good enough to get 5 spdzk points back?

Thread # 21 is “Any Parents Online?”
It only had sixteen posts, spread from August 2005 to April 2006. The first post was five days after the thread was created.
One of the posts (March 2, 2006) was by Cedar about his Muse movie (you come across these posts a lot in old threads).
Thread # 22: “Bagpipes”
42 posts, from August 2005 to October 2006. Comment 4 was by Dana Mannino. The topic didn’t stay on bagpipes for very long; by comment 23, it had moved to asbestos.
Two strangers appeared almost simultaneously (okay, their comments were in a row. They were actually several months apart). I think they were both adults.
That’s all.
I’ll do the other ones later.

151- I appreciate your hard work, but you don’t have to be THAT specific. Just read them all and post a general summary of trends, styles and topics.
Do you think we’re still in the Literary Epoch (people are usually helpful, most blog inhabitants are what we now consider oldbies, and books, manga and poetry are often discussed?)
0

yes.

152- Yeah.

I think the Literary Epoch is too long to be considered an Epoch. Let’s call it an Era.

Once Alice has finished thread 30, I shall start on 31 thru 40.

Okay. There are still separate birthday threads for everyone, no threads have a lot of posts, most of them have a few posts from long after the thread expired. Arthurian Legends. A few of these have to do with Muse itself.
Okay. Enough now. I am faced with the September 2005 random thread, 163 comments.
0
0
The posts begin to shrink on September Free-For-All – or perhaps people just begin to notice. No one seems to mind (what a novel concept!).
People are still allowed to post links.
Lots of newbies suddenly appear.

I’m done. POSOC can read 31-40 now.

The Literary Era begins to fade out at Hurricane Katrina and has almost vanished at Basic HTML Tutorial. Posts become shorter, slightly more random, and less focused on books/writing/manga and related topics.

POSOC, it’s almost the new year, when will your plan go into effect? (The plan was mentioned earlier on this thread.) If it won’t go into effect, would you please tell me what it was?
0
0
161- I won’t know if it will go into effect until the date* on which it may or may not go into effect.
*Which I can’t tell you either.

Someone needs to read from “Cicada? The Slam?” to “Writing.”
I think we’re at the tail end of the Literary Era by Dragonseye, but that remains to be determined.
0
0
63- I will!
*waits for what’s here*
*it is here*
cicada? the slam? was mildly literary
talk like a pirate was short, choppy posts
the two grant O’s how to s were literary
not so much with september issue links
books and movies is a snapshot of several
dreams is literary
so is october issue contents (note there was no spoiler warning)
as was writing

I think that from Hurricane Katrina onward there’s a series of breaks or interruptions in the continuity of the Literary Era. Let’s call the period we’re in now the First Hiatus.
0
0
165- Okay.
0
0
I believe that the First Hiatus probably ended at September Issue Links, returning to a more consistent Literary Era.
0
0
Scratch that. According to my recent research, the Hiatus continues up to Paul Baker’s birthday. Someone needs to read Round Robin Writing and the nine successive threads.

POSOC is so embroiled in the stories and RPGs of the blog that whenever he leaves it’s like, “Oh, drat, POSOC’s gone. *counts dead RRRs*”.

Even if it actually doesn’t get implemented, will you tell us what it was supposed to be?

203- I’m a bit of a pacifist, myself. Maybe that’s why I spent most of my time on the pie war threads wondering how to get into the fray and then wondering how to get out.
But a pie or two hurts no one.

All right, maybe this’ll pacify you- we’ll know in 15 or 20 days or somewhere in between.

I already told everyone my plan, but I guess you weren’t here. Very well.
In my deleted post, I made a suggestion to the GAPAs about the next April Fool’s Day. It would involve BEACON (Bunny Elimination And Capture On interNet) Initiative commandeering the blog and exterminating the bunnies. They said they would consider it. However, they came up with something even better (Disney commandeered blog.) That’s about it.
