excellent! - galwaywegian, 2007-03-05: 06:34:00

I like the referencing to other verbotomisims. Makes it more feasable and its a great word too. - erasmus, 2007-03-05: 09:05:00

Thanks to you both. What would be even better is if I could reference previously submitted verboticisms...I'll have to think about that. - ErWenn, 2007-03-05: 17:06:00

you got my vote! - Alchemist, 2007-03-05: 20:49:00
