I think it was briefly gone, but now it's back. On this machine, at least.

Terrific, Wofa! I really enjoyed that!
The best line "my chakram's rather yonical."

Edit: Do I dare say that I can guess who wrote it? In fact the above line gave it away. These women writers, "useless, really!"

Edit: Do I dare say that I can guess who wrote it? In fact the above line gave it away. These women writers, "useless, really!"

Actually his byline is right after the title at the head of the page. If you Google Kevin Wald you'll find him at the top of the list, the fella with the beard. He's an extraordinariy clever fellow at once down-to-earth and full of esoterica, and he writes puzzles replete with Classical allusions. Here he was writing in the Xena persona, hence the Chakram yonical.

He's also a prominent member of the National Puzzlers' League (see puzzlers.org), where his nom is Ucaiomhu, which is pronounced "Kevin W". If you saw Wordplay, the movie about the crossword-puzzle tournament, you saw him walk across a crowd scene, beard and all, at about Minute 47.

Posted By: Avy Re: Kudos goes to Kevin Wald - 01/05/13 05:01 PM
Okay... If you insist...

Edit: majorly profound writer this man. It is a good thing I do not know him. I stay away from celebrity writers - they bite!
His nom should have been "Icaourhu" much more pleasant to the ears. Thanks for posting the parody anyway. On second thoughts - it is a tad sexist.

These couple of possibles popped up 'mistically' and I couldn't resist, after a few interim instances of imposed (albeit minimal) patience. I'll try to be more polite & patient & respectful if you'll overlook this exuberant outburst. Your graciousness in allowing me to participate deserves greater deference, and waiting for intervening turns is the least I must do. Thank you.

Not a bad guess, since SUFFIX ought to be the singular form of the plural noun SUFFICES. But no.

Endy got it. The Town of Titipu. "The benefit that I'd DIFFUSE" etc. is from G&S's Mikado. And Pooh-Bah is a title that you have gained and them outgrown if you've become a Carpal Tunnel on the Board. And "Sing Boo to you, Pooh-pooh to you" is from another G&S operetta, Patience. (I don't blame you if you're losing yours by now...).

But, but, the Pooh Bear is English and English English as a rule retains the "e" when a sufefix is added. So please don't argue and give me credit for being a good sport.
Just change the "D" to "X" and apologise and I will forgive you. frown

As for renewing, I'm all for it.
Sometimes we've done it because we backed ourselves into a
corner.
If we have 1000 posts it's probably about time,
but I'll defer to my 'elder' (for time spent on AWAd)
wofa to do the honors, my computer ability would only
cause everyone a headache if I tried to do it.
What think you, Doc?
