Like where she banked (and her account number)and her daily routine. After she had told him all about herself, the e-mails slowed down and the last few she had sent him kept bouncing back as undeliverable. Naive as she was, she realized that he was losing interest rapidly and she could not even contact him. He was about to really phishappoint her more the next time she used her debit card!

Hey Verbotomists! Verbotomy is launching in "b", Baltimore's free daily newspaper. They are publishing the winning Verbotomy word of the day in the paper.

To coordinate our site with the paper, we are adding an extra day of voting, just to make sure the best word wins.

So we are now playing on a 3-day cycle: First day for word creation; second day for voting; and on the third we publish the winner on the site and in the paper.

Check out our Verbotomy Video here: http://www.verbotomy.com/verbotomize.php

Be creative! ~ James
