500 members (again) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

***Mithadan*** · 10-18-2001, 07:54 PM

We have again passed this benchmark and again have 500 members (we reached 500 once before, prior to moving our boards to UBB; I guess we lost a few along the way). Congratulations Barrow-Wight and thanks everyone!

I like number 500, it sounds so solid

congrats

Always avoid confusion.

Eldar14 · 10-24-2001, 02:14 PM

Congratulations! Most people get the "always avoid" part, but have no idea what confuscation means (I'm assuming you looked it up; it's not the most common word in the world)

onewhitetree · 10-24-2001, 04:33 PM

I am inordinately appalled that you postulate so much! Do I emanate "ignorant vibes" or something of that nature? You are not the only person here acquainted with four-syllable words. As inconceivable as it may seem, somewhere down in the recesses of my repressed shreds of cognizance, I nourish hope that there could be a five-syllable word hiding. Not that I would be aware of its significance, but peradventure I could recognize it, if I were fortuitous.

"ignorant vibes?"
yes [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

And, here's a long word, supercalifragilisticexpealidotious (It might be spelled wrong)

Orald · 10-25-2001, 10:11 PM

oooo, emanate, now there's a three dollar word. But the others I seriously doubt most people ever use in day to day conversation. Now quit confusticating me with these oversized underused words.

onewhitetree · 10-26-2001, 10:19 AM

I didn't start it.

Eschew Obfuscation.

You're right, that's so obscure I didn't even understand it [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] BTW H-I, thanks for the visit to my site, it's under construction still....................
