Balderdash

are you referring to a specific word of the day email?

littlek - there are many word of the day emails....does a2k have one that you're referring to?

this one is called a word of the day: AWAD

someone posts the AWAD at a thread i sometimes browse at Abuzz.

Hmm, I think safecracker and McGentrix are the only ones left to pick a number. Hello out there?Might be time for more PM's.

FT, OK I'll never take your posts seriously, LOL, but I thought you made a good point. Some players go a little batty when the game slows to the speed of molasses and some players are very competitive. A happy medium is what we need.

I realized after I PM'd individual that quite a few people haven't reaponded yet, so I'll give it another day before PMing the others.

Sorry individual, if I got you away from a good book or something even more interesting.

Ya know, Diane, yer about the weirdest nun I've ever met. They're usually quite a bit more assertive.

I'm having a hard time keeping my mouth shut on this (but I will! so no worries!) 'cause I went and looked up the answer. I couldn't help myself! Impatience is my middle name! Right after procrastination!

Sorry! I would go with four, but I'm a natural conformist (not really). Put me down for #15.

I would never want to eat that...

15 for me.

I have not been around the forums because of work, they have me consaulting on alot of decisions via what's going on in Iraq as well as training and weapons issues. Alot of work.

Well, er, Bethie, that's because I've never really been a nun! Just a failed Presbyterian.

Caprice, LOL. Patience!!

I think hiama and McGentrix are the only two left to pick a word. If they haven't picked by tomorrow, I'll go ahead and post the answers.

You wouldn't believe how different balderdash is at my house.

you play at home? I never heard of it before i came to A2K...

Diane, speaking of being a failed Presbyterian...
My girlfriend claims to be a Frisbeeterian. They believe that when you die, you don't actually go to heaven or hell, but you get thrown up on the roof and are stuck there.

Oh my God----I got out just in time!!!!

SCoates--come back and play this time. It is much faster with my family, but we are playing with people from North America, Europe and Australia, so it slows things down considerable--it's worth it with all the great players we have in the game.

Here we go...........Caprice, breathe........Peace and Love--celebrate!
