• Wow, I can't believe how thinly you sliced the dateline!
• I waited (embarrassingly).
• Oi! I steal my links from qwghlm! You can't start too! First word I looked up was "cock". Yes, I am immature. But it paid off. Cock is 10870. And 10871 is... "penis". Brilliant.
• First word I looked up was cunt. I'm not really 12. Honest
• I have the heart of a child. I keep it in a jar on my shelf. --Robert Bloch
• Well, I learned a new word. "Nop". The archive, however, contained neither "oxters" nor "tundish". nop nop nop
• There are some great combinations in here. Check out 7964 thru 7967 for starters... There's also many superb indie band names to be found. I'm a particular fan of Neon Porn Convict, who supported Indies Bitch Teenagers on their most recent tour. 12303 onwards is very politically aware, even prescient. This really is one of those 10278 10279.
• 669!
• It worries me that 666 is "easy" - what a very true spiritual lesson for us all...
• 3046 thru 3051 - it's Bush's election strategy....
• 3046 thru 3051 Priceless.
• You know, the Chinese associate 25163 with monkeys more than they do with 12025. There's even a martial arts 9949 called "Monkey stealing 25163". Although it's a rather um...lowdown thing to do.
• How is "go" so far down at #105? That seems kinda low.
• 8501 is bees. I'm lost at sea, 36783.
• 49811.
• Namaste. *folds halds, bows to 49811*
• For halds read (drumroll) hands, two, rather grimey.
• 93 4725 7 "86800" 9 1 1879 136 <10805>
• Keep your head held high, 8501:29448. You too, 5617:735. Personally, I'm kind happy to be 40470. And dng, you are NOT 12, "for" is 12. And "four" is 185. And "twelve" is 1566. Filter is 4976. Meta is 54422.
• O tell us not in mournful numbers...
• I just did a very evil thing at 54422 4976.
• Hehe. I sense a 54422 596 484 65 wending your way, wendell. :-)
• 596 569
• Yesss, evilll wendellll. And we [word is not currently in the archive]* you for it. Woz looking for 'honour', then 'honor', then 'honcho', then decided 'honkus' would do, but they don't seem to have any of these. I'm sure there is a portent in this.
• No, Wolof, I meant a MetaQuality call out... :-) Oh, and "honour"s 3388. Just before "sensible Berlin restrictions".
• Honour is 3388. Honor is 31663. Which goes to show how much of an upgrade a "u" can make.
• honor is there. 31663. unless you mean to say: 7088 2 10780s...
• 397-400 would make a good name for a good local newspaper.
• 10870 10780?
• Has anyone got 'honkus'?
• "Bucket of daytime" is a more pleasant alternative to "bucket of cocks". In fact, I think I now have a title for my first collection of uplifting poetry. "Wankfinches" (39130-39131) sounds like a small village in Hertfordshire.
• I had honkus once...a round of antibiotics cleared it up within a week.
• Totally, flashboy. I know this guy who plays keyboard for the Inconsequential Cusack Pawns. Last February they and Clydesdale Unicorn opened for Euphonium Greencroft (formerly Ronnie's Aryans; fronted by whatsis. Oh, you know. Used to be drummer from The Wainscot Clavicles, then quit and started Roughshod Buckthorn, et cetera). They've got a fairly nice sound, the Cusacks, rather reminiscent of HindiStabilisation's "Plasminogen Aunty" project. The lead guitarist, Clarenceaux Dowding, has clearly spent many, many hours listening to Hellenistic Tit and the early work of the Melancholy Colliery (the early work, mind you, nothing after the execrable "Fuhrer Jive," when the drummer left to join the Elephantine Genotypes and left the band in a shambles). They're currently finishing up their first record, "Fortuna, Reverberant." Dan from the Sidgwick Corpuscular is producing.

• And I'll never forget that weekend when I drove three hundred miles to see a rare show by the Armless Cecils (Brandreth "Breaststroke" Mariano's now-defunct psych-mariachi band), the Needling Cleveleys, and Brace-Fraught Louisa (a lovely side project from Dispirited Prunella's bassist). The next night I saw Bretton Baudelaire (formerly of Crested Animate) open for the Fingertip Resistors. Ah, yes. That was the night the cockroaches suffocated Darthmouth.
• Dear davidmsc, dear friend, Glad to hear you're on the mend. Avuncular mode, vocative voice: be sure to replace those depleted infestinal flora/fauna with a whacking great slug of lactobacillus. No, it's not Pepsi Blue, don't you wish it woz?
• Oops: Dartmouth.
• babywannasofa, I'll see your Dartmouth, and raise you a Halifax.
• babywannasofa - that was on the same tour where Intubation Poof Fellatio were plugging their new album Havana Materialist Vista, yeah? Supported by Angel Seeks Supper, as I recall.
• Cooked up a quick list of SF-F writers (mainly) last names. Had to avoid common words such as (Philip Jose) Farmer and (Philip K.) Dick (noooo, the examples were not deliberately philip-tropic) Asimov - 44254 Bloch - 33785 Bova - not in Bradbury - 23046 Cherryh - not in Clarke - 4227 Doctorow - not in Ellison - 31564 (Harlan, which I thought more specific, was not in) Feist - 66793 Heinlein - not in Hickman - 41479 Hubbard - 33303 Kurtz - 53892 Lackey - 67809 (debated about leaving this in. What the heck) Sprague - 49832 Sturgeon - 45563 (ditto with Lackey) Tolkien - 12244 Ursula - 15580 (Guin not in) Verne - 46240 Wollstonecraft - 59085 (thought this more original than Mary or Shelley) Weber - 10881 Not consistent in any way I know, except alphabetically. Just pulled some names out of my head.
• Ah! Charitable, mucosal Halifax. I remember Intubation Poof Fellatio! I first got into them when I heard those songs from "Saltmarsh Splutters" that were on the Rediscovering Petworth soundtrack (which also featured the fabulous and, sadly, little-known Spongiform Homebuyers). They were no Jungian Goodfellas, but were certainly an improvement upon the Bain Totem Sacrificial. "Mouthwatering Waists," in particular, was incredible.
• Did you ever hear the Avuncular Lobbyists' "Albums! Menus! Pies! REICH!"?
• 1186 1097 9143-8917-17766! 8590 240
• Ooh, Jenny's number is "colour attraction" (867-5309). I could spend hours here... 74840 4006
• SAW it in MeFi yesterday... fun stuff At least credit cross-postings???
• oops - sorry , saw you DID credit qwghlmBlog "My BAD"
• The last word is conquistador. Who in the heck uses conquistador? Aarrggh! Also, what in the heck does "sammlung" mean?
• I like 4304 through 4307 Microsoft aquire salary tremendous
• 6779 - 6781: Appalling Muslim Courtesy. Ooops, sorry, wrong thread.
• Oh, and as a followup, is anyone else disturbed that microsoft shows up as number *4304*!?! That's above happiness (4850) or kindness (8894) or decency (14444) for that matter.
• Microsoft is indeed above all these things. Has been for some years now.
• "Happiness" used to be above Microsoft, but then MS started bundling their own version, "Despair", with every copy of Windows.
• drivingmenuts, I believe "sammlung" is German for "collection", although it's been a while and that's without looking it up.
• What about this? 992 993 994 995 stands for America Ensure Oil Opportunity ! Thus spake Nostradamus, I am very sure of it.
• cleanliness = 15531 godliness = 51569 ...not even close.
• 1525 = the number of the beast not quite as catchy, but more accurate
