Damn, "rose" had already been used. I'll try again. It wasn't the first time Janet had been deflowered. Gerald fell into a vegetative state, preventing him from getting to the root of the problem. Tree times was fir too many. - Clayton, 2007-06-01: 14:05:00

Perhaps Janet felt that Gerald had been spending too much thyme with Rosemary and as he hadn't been wearing his foxglove he had developed a problem with his peonies - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-01: 15:35:00

Whereas Janet's gardenia belt left her feverbush exposed, making Carl's horse cane extremely gladiola, until his stamen peeked out from under his monkshood and he began pollen on his periwinkle. Fertilization was fine, but there was no possumhaw that he could marigold that witch-hazel and become a poppie, carting the orchids around to daisy care. Some called him a pansy, but many problems stemmed from his disinterest in cultivating a family and branching out. He wished everyone would just leaf him alone so he could smoke weed and listen to the Sex Pistils. Maple it was for the best. He'd rather bee with Jasmine, to chestnut on her pod and turn out the nightshade. - Clayton, 2007-06-01: 18:35:00

It sounds more like flirt + virtual, which is probably part of the charm. :) - Discoveria, 2012-09-29: 12:41:00

Heh. It seems like we've all been there. Fortunately, it's been several years for me.

I have made a couple of changes today. First, I have changed the way the Verboticisms are displayed so that now it shows the words from every Verbroom. I have also added a "Show All" link which lists all the verboticims of the day on a single page! Secondly I have added a comment tracking system so you can track all your conversations. If these changes cause a problem, let me know! ~ James

Thank you for the show all. I was thinking about the "tag cloud" idea. It would work well on the author pages, where the weighting for each word could be displayed by relative size of font. Then we could check out our best scoring words, and it wouldn't interfere with voting. Tracking conversations is a neat idea too. Are all the comments from every word in the one "track" or would we have to track each one individuall?
