A while ago, Mark Thomas mentioned a word, "Dross". Anyway, I was playing "Word Coach" on my nintendo ds lite, and the word "Dross" came up and it means " worthless or useless".

Pepper, there you are being unusually interesting and/or clever again.

thanks for the kick ass scrabble word. i always need ammo

By agatha on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 - 12:24 pm:

I know, it's so confusing to me. I admire Pepper's tenacity, and his flashes of brilliance, but sometimes it seems like he is participating in a conversation that nobody has started yet.

By heather on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 - 02:27 pm:

i fail to see how this is clever...

but carry on!
clever is pretty overrated.

By droopy on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 - 02:31 pm:

i wasn't going to say anything, but i concur with heather. dross isn't that obscure of a word. i dig doc for his unintentional surrealism.

By droopy on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 - 02:34 pm:

then again, it's possible heather and i have our irony radars turned off.

By Dr Pepper on Thursday, June 11, 2009 - 12:36 pm:

How unthoughtful of me.

By patrick on Monday, June 15, 2009 - 04:06 pm:

well droop, heather....clearly when i say "clever" im being subjective. the pep set the bar a long time ago.

By Dr Pepper on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 - 12:10 am:

patrick, i really don't know what's on heather's mind.

By heather on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 - 01:50 pm:

this is a somewhat universal problem

By Dr Pepper on Wednesday, June 17, 2009 - 12:07 am:

By heather on Wednesday, June 17, 2009 - 02:17 am:

like gravitation

By droopy on Wednesday, June 17, 2009 - 12:23 pm:

i see heather as more like dark matter - there, but a mystery.

By Dr Pepper on Thursday, June 18, 2009 - 12:27 am:

uhmm, will there be another big bang going on?

By patrick on Thursday, June 18, 2009 - 08:51 am:

one can only hope

By sarah on Thursday, June 18, 2009 - 01:27 pm:

you have no idea.

By droopy on Friday, June 19, 2009 - 01:44 am:

the world ends not with a bang, but a whimper.

everybody knows that

By patrick on Friday, June 19, 2009 - 11:37 am:

i dunno about yours but mine began with a bang or so im told

By Dr Pepper on Friday, June 19, 2009 - 01:35 pm:

droopy, your line is similar to heather's.

By heather on Friday, June 19, 2009 - 03:49 pm:

droopy's line is ts eliot's

By patrick on Monday, June 22, 2009 - 10:04 am:
