Today’s Word of the Day is brought to you by Lord Chaos……..

SPACE FART: Saying something on Fed Com by accident or something unintentionally cruel, deserving of an apology. Example: Mojoe has diarrhea of the mouth!

Word of the day is GHOSTITIS….The ability to live comfortably in a small space for a long period of time. Example: Space Ghost attracts GHOSTITIS within 20 min. of entering a game with his desire to live in a POD!

The Word for today is brought to you by Timberwolf..

TYPO FIASCO: You mean to type in a sector to warp to…say 1001..and you accidently type in 1010 and BOOM! You suddenly contract Ghostitis!

From a post Exodius made in EIS Forums. I think a lot of Egroups people should keep this in mind, I know I’ll try…

The word of the day is being submitted by Yours Truly

WHITE CANING KABOOM: When you tell a fellow teammate to blindwarp to a certain sector and you forget to lift up your fig. Example: BG leaves fig down then tells her evil on another corp to blindwarp!

Coolidge Winesett, 75, said there’s only one way to describe what it was like being trapped for almost three days at the bottom of his Southwest Virginia outhouse after its floor gave way.

“I compare it to the Bible’s hell,” said Winesett, a World War II veteran and retired janitor.

It had hellish elements–the smell, maggots, snakes, spiders, rats. Plus there was the persistent notion that he’d done something wrong to deserve it, recalled Winesett, speaking by phone from his bed at Wythe County Community Hospital, where he is recovering from dehydration and injuries he suffered when the 50-year-old outhouse floor collapsed from dry rot Saturday afternoon.

Winesett’s ordeal began about 4 p.m. Saturday after he returned from getting a new battery for his 1978 Chevrolet Impala. Winesett said he was getting ready to pick the banjo on his back porch when he decided to make a pit stop.

“I screamed ’till I run out of voice,” he said.

After he fell, Winesett said, he was suspended over the “bad stuff”–the sludge–by a subfloor and the cracked floorboards. Eight-penny nails from the planks dug into his flesh, and his body was contorted and immobilized. But that, he said, was nothing compared with the horrors of the next 69 hours, which he spent dealing with creepy, crawly things.

WHADAFUQ: Something said on Fed Com that makes you think “Whadafuq! That’s messed up” Example: Mojoe with his diarrhea of the mouth.

After today, I’ve realized just how much I hate networking in windows. I spent from 5:30pm to 12:00am today trying to fix my proxy server. I don’t know why it stopped working, but It’ll be the first thing I ask the almighty when I die. I can hardly imagine my Mom or even my Dad trying to fix what I did. Stay with me, there is a point.

Besides having to deal with the problem of turning a text game into something graphical, the makers will also have to tone down how hardcore it will be. I suppose it probably doesn’t matter in the end. Chances are it’ll be made on a shoestring budget. It’ll be able to cater to the hardcore because it won’t need to sell 2 million copies to foot the development bill. I’ll probably buy and play whatever sequal is made and no matter how hardcore or horrible it ends up being and I’m sure I’m not alone.

Let’s see what is going on in the life of TW.
