Up at 4:30 AM EST to get my butt to work on time. No cows, but a few chickens is not out of the question. - purpleartichokes, 2007-06-08: 09:41:00

love this word - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-08: 12:39:00

Being in Australia really helps with the timing for me. I usually check the cartoon and new definition just before leaving work. Come up with a few ideas on the drive home and then hit the thesaurus and login during the early evening. My problem is, I often don't get to voting before the next definition is up. - petaj, 2007-06-08: 22:10:00

Believe it or not, inspired by verbotomy again. I was thinking that I'd like to wait until the next day to vote, but I don't like the view you get, having to hit More, More, More (how do you like it, how do you like it). Egad, it's back. - purpleartichokes, 2007-06-08: 11:00:00
