Today’s worthless word of the day is “codswallop: nonsense, drivel; rubbish.” This made me look up wallop (the name of the MS project) and learn that it means “to hit with force; to thrash soundly; to beat by a wide margin; to move with reckless or disorganized haste.”
Sometimes, words just humor me… if you wallop with a cod, you get reckless rubbish that hits with a force. Hmmm…
Of course, i still like the fact that YAFRO stands for Yet Another Friendster Rip Off. Not nearly as eyebrow raising, and utterly to the point.
I didn’t realize that you had a Wallop account. Are you doing research there as well?
First, your link to WWFTD caught my eye.. then your picture caught my eye.. then “a picture of me” stopped me cold. :
Apropos of changing one’s name: I saw a recent article in the Chicago Tribune that related the story of one Bubby Gray who legally changed his name to Bubba Bubba Bubba. YCLIU.

I do not have a Wallop account nor am i working with Microsoft. But i really respect most of the people working on that project.
