Wait is there no end, time limit or something??

Bleh quitting now. 1140 grains, lvl 31. Bon appetite.

Probably 8-10 words were pure guesses where I hadn't heard of either the word itself or any of the possible substitutes for it.

I wrote a letter to my dad - I wrote, "I really enjoy being here," but I accidentally wrote rarely instead of really. But I still wanted to use it so i crossed it out and wrote, "I rarely drive steamboats, dad - there's a lot of shit you don't know about me. Quit trying to act like I'm a steamboat operator." This letter took a harsh turn right away...


oh yeah, level 36

“Whenever I walk, people try to hand me out flyers. And when someone tries to hand me out a flyer, it’s kinda like they’re saying, ‘Here—you throw this away.’”

also, level 30 through 1000 with high of 40

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

Aside from boring, was I alone in thinking "word association = rice - WTF!?!?"

I can see that they need people to come to the site, this means that people see adverts and clicks etc. pays for the rice but why word association?

The blurb on the site says something about "everyone having the right to good vocabulary" or some other bollocks but who is this aimed at? I guess they're going for "third world = poor education" but that just doesn't make sense because the starving millions in Africa aren't going to use the site.

As for everyone else in the world, are they really learning? If you sit there and go through a shitload of words until you find one you don't know and then go through a shitload more, is the new word likely to stick? Are you ever going to use it?

Why didn't they just have page saying, "read these ads and click this button and we'll send some rice to the third world" and everyone's happy, instead of the word assoc. crap?

/ rant

It's Monday morning, I'm tired and I don't want to be at work.
