last week's word winner:

machination

that wasn't even anything that even closely resembled something that anyone would ever possibly come close to considering a fair fight. machination was the lion, maxixe was the lame gazelle. machination was train, maxixe was the shopping cart. machination was the pitcher, maxixe was the catcher. you get the idea. machination is actually fairly high on my list of favorite words. it's just so damned foreboding.

i saw a thing on tv last night about how much google pays attention to what you do, read and say on the internet and then sells it to people like me who want you to go their site. google is kinda creepy. so if you're using reader to view this don't forget to vote.
