Voidmail

petaj

Created by: petaj

Pronunciation: void-mail Can't make it any easier than that.

Sentence: Hannah compulsively applied for all of the vacant positions that appeared in the Little Piddlington Gazette, but had not yet received even an acknowledgement. She blamed it on voidmail, a strange virus that had migrated from email to snail mail. But the real problem was that Hannah's reputation was well known by all the employers in Little Piddlington. No one was prepared to take on her gloomy mien and manic depression tempered with occasional bouts of tourette's syndrome.

Etymology: voicemail + void

Hey James, my word isn't showing up.

petaj petaj - 2007-06-27: 07:24:00
Nor mine.

Oh thank goodness. They were too young to be wandering about on their own. Something appears to be wrong with the Rankings page. I see some folks who verbotomized with only 4 points.

Verbotomy Verbotomy - 2007-06-27: 13:04:00
Hey Purple, I have updated the score so that it is correct now. I will be watching it to see the Double Verbotomy introduces any other bugs ~ James

purpleartichokes - 2007-06-27: 13:54:00
Thanks James!

Clayton - 2007-06-27: 21:01:00
Hmm... my word's not there, either. No word means no votes. Not that I would've gotten any.

Clayton - 2007-06-27: 21:02:00
Never mind that last comment. Very strange.

Clayton - 2007-06-27: 21:02:00
Wait... it's missing again.
