Here's a thought. I post a word you post a word that comes to mind.

But you explain WHY it comes to your mind and we discuss it.

would that work?


Wonders

works

Why? From the saying "works wonders"

and because "work" is the last word you typed before you typed "wonders"

Ahhhh, a loophole in the system :D

You wrote: works
I write: dream

As in, dreamworks, the company.

It is a 'wonder' or perhaps it is 'wonderous' that you havent been deleted yet.

(that might work..)

wonders... to think about something ,curiousity..etc

..Like how you 'wondered' whether this forum might work.. it seems to me like it would,because u could cause any amount of discussion with this...


Philosophy

Spam Philosophy

I believe that spam is actually healthy and good for you.

It makes one laugh, takes your mind off your troubles and lowers your blood pressure /stress level.

How could that be bad?

And now for a musical interlude


You'd think that people would have had enough of silly word games.
But I look around me and I see it isn't so.
Some people wanna fill the world with silly word games.
And what's wrong with that?
I'd like to know, 'cause here I go again
I love you, I love you,
I love you, I love you,
I can't explain the feeling's plain to me, say can't you see?
Ah, she gave me more, she gave it all to me
Now can't you see,
What's wrong with that
I need to know, 'cause here I go again
I love you, I love you

Love doesn't come in a minute,
sometimes it doesn't come at all
I only know that when I'm in it
It isn't silly, no, it isn't silly, love isn't silly at all.

How can I tell you about my loved one?
How can I tell you about my loved one?

How can I tell you about my loved one?
(I love you)

Spam Filter (because I need one)

I still think that spam is basically a bad thing. I mean, pointless posting on message boards is one thing, but the other kind of spam, the endless flood of advertisements for cheap meds, penis enlargements and porn sites that fill up your mail box, never fails to make my blood pressure rise.

That's good spam. The nasty stuff which suggests i do unpleasant things to men i've never met...nor want to if that's the sort of thing they want me to do :shock: IS BAD :evil:

I don't agree. Some of it is fun. The sort you speak of is...unspeakable.

Maybe the intention behind the spam is what matters?

What i want to know is why word games are spam when there is a lot of stuff on the forums of the sort:

Hi how's things

Fine. How's things with you

And all the endless bickering which keeps me out of what could be good discussions but end up as something approaching flamebaiting!

Oooh! I can feel a rant coming on...i'd better go.

Sorry...i feel really strongly about things i see on the forums and no one can answer my questions...

ok, so you know your Paul Mcartny and The Wings repertoire ... :roll:

I thought word-games were banned.
very silly place to start word-games here.

You get spam mails that are fun?? Lucky you. Could you share some?


Maybe the intention behind the spam is what matters?

Agreed. I actually think there should be two different words for advertisement spam and the kind of spam people post on message boards to kill time or have some pointless fun. They're not the same thing at all, when you think about it.

Yeah. Horribly, isn't it. On the other hand, I like meself a good word game from time to time. They're not as bad for my blood pressure as the political "discussion" around here (nor as repetitive) and I can participate easily even though english is not my first language.

Anyway, no one postet a new word, so the word/discussion topic is still:
Spam Filter

Filter of Water

Anyway, your talking about email spam. Which is bad. This is good spam. Good old fun and word games. :D

Water filters, bottled water, water purifiers. There is alot of money spent on all this stuff. Water is very important. Clean water is something many take for granted.

Nice to see this thread going strong..

Thread going strong: thread strong in spam :D

Purified Air.

I often wonder if it would be to my advantage to purchase an air purifier...

Thread going strong: thread strong in spam :D
