bummer - my 2 thesaurus' (thesaruri?) do not even have the word splorf defined. Nor does my dictionary - nor does the OED. all I found was from the urban dictionary which is the same thing above.

I will admit sneeze is as good as it gets, except for maybe projectile vomit....I've seen that hurled through a nose or two in my day....

Yeah. Been looking through Urban Dictionary. They definitely need an Urban Thesaurus.

  Unfortunately, splurt has another meaning that may change the meaning of my sentence.

  I absolutely did NOT have to look up "perspicacity".
  
  No! I did not!
  
  Don't even think it!

Yes, I confess, intentional thread bump.

But we are in off topic, and I started wondering about Kevin.

Over five years later, and "splorf" still rules.

Also, I miss Bill (aka Killer Joe)'s posts.

Now that man had a ridiculously good sense of humor! I knew if I was a little bummed out about something, I could always come here, talk with him, and laugh myself right back into happiness at the funny, silly and witty things he'd say or at the photo's he'd "shop"!

I miss him too.

Happy 2010!

Where's a time machine when you need one...

Arrr, the good old days!

Yes, good to see some familiar faces, but then l looked at the dates, and thought ok, some silly newbie is going to get a tongue lashing!

But it is your birthday Jill, so you are off the hook, splorf!

Bill transformed my "sputnik" logo into a rotating sputnik. He did an awesome job. Should hunt him down and see what he's up to.
