The Minearverse 5: Closer to the Earth, Further from the Ax
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
dictionary.com's word of the day is timorous.
Timorous needs to be a thread title, some year.
ETA: Nope. One more try.
My nominee for Minearverse 5 Word of the Day (from dictionary.com):
myn·heer also men·eer
n.
- often Mynheer also Meneer
- Used as a courtesy title before the name of a man in a Dutch-speaking area.
- Used as a form of polite address for a man in a Dutch-speaking area.
[Dutch mijnheer : mijn, my (from Middle Dutch. See me-1 in Indo-European Roots) + heer, lord (from Middle Dutch here).]
Bonus citation: "He came clattering up to the school door with an invitation to Ichabod to attend a merry-making or 'quilting frolic,' to be held that evening at Mynheer Van Tassel’s." (Washington Irving, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow")
Just checking in after a week off and saw this:

No. I think there's this huge puddle called the Atlantic in-between and I've never crossed it.
Ah, I've heard of that puddle. And I dropped a "c" from your name, so apologies for that.
Anyway, Sally Crewe is a friend and our bands have done a few shows together. I just thought you might be a local all of the sudden.
'Timoneer' is a word that er, exists. It means a pilot, I think.
ETA: 'A helmsmen' actually.
ETA2: A helmsmAn, even.
I suddenly have visions of t-shirts that say "Tim Minear is My Timoneer".
Did you guys know that Tim has a blog?
