Boy it's been some time since the last post in this series - last September. Back in the days when the now defunct Humor Bloggers Dot Com was still a going concern there was a forum thread called The Humpty Dumpty Dictionary Challenge started by my fellow Canadian blogging buddy Frank Lee Mei Dear at I Don't Give A Damn. As well, Jan at The Jannaverse does these from time to time.
The idea was to take word verifications you found in order to leave a comment on other's blogs and make up a definition for it. One of my early favourites was...
...nachos that don't move
You see what I did there was take two words - inertia and nachos. Clever, eh? Or maybe I just have too much time on my hands. Nevertheless here's my latest collection from word verifications I've come across lately. Be warned: I have a very uniquely odd sense of humour...
Before Darth Vader had his lisp corrected Hanth Tholo wath hith nemithith.
When there's less left over than originally thought
(re(si)dual)
One who has survived a roll down an obscure hill in Glastonbury, England
(go ahead, Google Tor. I did!)
It not be mine...
The best in a Dion and the Belmonts tribute band contest
Patooti's happy cousin
When the evil wizard Daedalus was looking for his son Dedil he asked "Where's Dedil at?
If the Metropolitan Opera could talk, this is how he'd introduce himself
When Yoda from Star Wars casts a spell and turns you into boat paddles
A person highly devoted to fans
(this is a very small group of devotees)
Someone who mistakenly thinks they're the smartest in a group

Ha!
And did you know that I'm your number fandinista?
I am!
*hides mallet in the folds of her muu muu*
(my veri: iddfi - I defy?)
There's also another way of looking at these verification words: imagine that they have something in common with the person who's blog you are visiting, and then see what they mean. As hilarious means as any to cope with those annoying controls. :)
The word that you defined is "sedenchos."
By the way, my word is "gracturi," and I was trying to think of a clever one.
The best I can come up with is a urologist from Granby, CT.
Also, "tholo" is a classic.
You're one up on me for "gracturi". I got nothin'.
Which would be the most "normal" member of a Mariachi band.
"Yo soy saniste, senor, pero to eres mucho loco."
Love the word ver dictionary idea! (I miss HBDC, too!) Today's word verification here... "dessin"... Darth Vader with a cold, just dessin' (messin') around?
Say speaking of Darth Vader, did you see that news story about the guy who robbed a bank wearing that costume. I'm not kidding, now. The headline actually said "Darth Vader Strikes Bank". I guess the poor guy went over to the dark side.
