no doubt you're getting that Doctorow Book this week. - ohwtepph, 2007-05-04: 07:35:00

I think the book is for next week and it's a mug this week. If I win, it would be the first thing I've won since that Beatle's album in 7'th grade (which my brother subsequently lost). - purpleartichokes, 2007-05-04: 07:59:00

Sentence: During years of boredom at work, Bob used several sanity-saving strategies, but he knew that the time to go was a right-brainer when he started creating verboticisms to describe his plight. He considered ennuixitasy, joie-de-chuckit, and fleeglee, and even though he thought it might be an "excellent mistake," he settled for quithrill, quithrill, quithrill, simply for the joy he found in saying over and over.

Etymology: QUIT: to give up or resign one's job or position; THRILL: to affect one with a wave of emotion or excitement.

Sentence: Using the infamous hand gesture of Donald Trump, Andy told his boss "You're fired." And to that, Mr. Dillard replied, "You can't fire me. I'm YOUR boss." Andy leaned back as far as he could in his boss' stiff-backed chair, grinned and said, "But don't you see? That's the one thing I can fire you from — you're no longer my boss!" After he enjoyed watching the reaction of his former boss for several moments, he stood up and strode out of the office, filled with a feeling of gleemancipation. It would only last until around the end of the month, when his rent was due, but for now, Andy simply enjoyed the moment.

Etymology: Glee - open delight or pleasure; exultant joy; exultation (from Old English, gliu "entertainment, mirth, jest") + Emancipation - freedom from bondage, oppression, or restraint (from Latin, emancipatus "freed from control")

I like it! Resiglation was my first verbotomy, but I was feeling grindstoned this AM and woke up late. - purpleartichokes, 2007-05-04: 06:02:00

By the way, I really enjoyed your splinterview. Being that you are an attorney, I was wondering if you could advise me if there is any legal recourse I can take against players who pick on my tunacy (I get songs stuck in my head). (mymottosalwaysbeenwhenitsrightitsright...) - purpleartichokes, 2007-05-04: 14:10:00

nice try purple but I'm sure jedijawa will not take sides (especially after he sees my "May the 4th be with you" joke - Jabberwocky, 2007-05-04: 15:46:00

Good one Jabber! "Fluke, I am your flounder." Thank goodness I don't get lyricless tunes stuck in my head. - purpleartichokes, 2007-05-04: 16:20:00

Haha! You know, I tell people you can always sue anyone for anything ... but good luck getting a judgment (I prefer negotiation over litigation). Thanks for reading my spliterview. :-) - jedijawa, 2007-05-07: 11:28:00

Good one! - HubbMU, 2007-05-08: 10:11:00
