Got broken at kelp:keal.

Crap! You're right. What do we do now? Where's Iceman to fix this for us?

I'm willing to start again at KELP:KELL if we can get the subsequent posts deleted. (And I was darned proud of that last entry.)

(And I was darned proud of that last entry.)

Nah, nowhere near as good as your previous one. The one you did before had more sense. That's why I dropped it on my last post. I could only come up with stuff that didn't make any sense at all.

Just restart at KELL.

Awww there goes my previous post. I just wanna YELL!

[IcemanND]

I don't come around for a few hours and the whole list gets all screwed up.

I think this will get us to YELD

I think I got it all cleaned up and straightened out.

This wasn't bad, the last one was better. The question is can you get the list back to a match with KILT to get you 20 word sentence back in the stats.

The Scot clad in KILT thrust his GILT sword up to the HILT making the dragon HALT as a HALO appeared above his head causing the Scotsman to HALE the others from the HALL, each of them standing TALL and ready to pay the TOLL to claim the TOOL that TOOK the LOOK of a COOK's BOOK of BOOR recipes for POOR Winnie the POOH who was swimming in the nearby POOL while wearing a COOL coat made of WOOL.

Sorry, I guess that was my fault...

That's pretty funny, Mijzelf.

Thank you IcemanND for setting us straight (again).

This is like a GILD of wordsmiths. Oh, look at that! I think I can make that work:

I actually have letter usage stats also but until I figure out a way to post a formatted table it will have to wait. So far the only letter not used, you guessed it 'Q'.

[NOTS3W]

MOOD was also used (in post 384). It's too late now, but GOOP was used in post 193 and duplicated in post 638.

MOOS - the collective sounds that a herd of cows makes. (best I can do)

I had a dream about buying a bunch of WOKS, but then I WOKE up.

[spacesurfer]

Now let me POKE a question:

Of the total posts, how many posts do not contain a valid word? In other words, how many posts are legitimate (with words) and how many not legitimate (thrown out b/c of duplicates, etc.)?
