Random Word Post – okapi

Stephen L. Thompson @oneoveralpha (434) • Brookville, Pennsylvania 6 May 16

I find a random word by flipping through my 2003 The New Webster’s Concise Dictionary and write a quick – often silly – little post about it. # “okapi – A small African ruminant related to the giraffe, but with a shorter...

Fiacre Banks @oneoveralpha And the female of the species is mute except when requiring sex. Heaven. They also have tongues so long they can stick it in their own ears. Awesome. Unfortunately you can't marry them.

LegTech @oneoveralpha Thank you for looking it up. Here in the Philippines, we often use coterminous. Hence, I thought of clarifying it with a native speaker like you. At least, I learned one word today and that is conterminous.

Nanette Piotrowski I like silly, off-the-cuff words @oneoveralpha . Some become trendy and others fall into obscurity. One of my favorites is Dumboxis: The ability to be dumb and obnoxious at the same time. I think that one really applies to the Trump/Cruz campaigns.

Today is a special Pi Day as 3/14/16 is a good approximation to the value of pi, 3.14159265…. It’s a day for math geeks and for people who like pies to make puns. But today I ask you to remember William Shanks. When I was...

Peter B. Giblett @oneoveralpha When I was a kid it was a case of proving that I was better than everyone else in the class, but now I don't need it (other than for trivia questions) so I have forgotten it.

Was I abducted by aliens?

Stephen L. Thompson @oneoveralpha (434) • Brookville, Pennsylvania 13 Mar 16

I was at my computer, just watching videos and stuff, and one minute it was 1:59, and the next it was 3:00! I lost an hour! I didn't see any lights or anything. I guess the aliens are getting sneaky.

Do I need to be escorted by cats?

Stephen L. Thompson @oneoveralpha (434) • Brookville, Pennsylvania 9 Mar 16

We have a couple outdoor cats. Usually, whenever I go out to do something, one will come running from wherever they are to walk with me. Probably hoping for a treat. Sometimes they’ll walk beside me, but often they’ll walk in...

Posting Schedule - Does it help you? Any advice for posting regularly?

Jasmine Johnson @SometimesINovel (102) • Accord, New York 10 Feb 16

In an effort to keep posting regularly and not vanish, I've decided to make a schedule for myself. I figure I'll end up burning myself out if I try to do too many things every day, so I'm hoping pacing myself will help. As of...

Jasmine Johnson @oneoveralpha That's a great idea. I think I might start writing my posts out, and spacing them out during the week, as well as smaller random thoughts. :) Good system.
