SO with dried meat,fruit and other goodies, would it be fair to suggest the vendor be known as a dessicaletan?

No, no, see (merciful heavens--the eight-armed dancing one must be rubbing off on me--help!), the SHOP would be
the dessicatelan. The OWNER would then be the dessicator/dessicatrix, and we'd all have to take the escalator to get to the dessicated goods...and then designate our choices, and decimate our pocketbooks, and delegate which child got to carry what, relegating the lightest package to the youngest child, and when we got home
we'd celebrate, as I am the end of this sentence!

So welcome, maverick, and I think it is obvious that I need more sleep (or something)! You got a unique welcome, and aren't we all glad??

Oh yeah, well I do my babbling while I'm wide awake!

Hi and thanks for the welcome!

As a BB virgin it's a pleasure to converse with such afficionados as yourself and the singularly useful word man.

Off-string, but still thinking acronymically, what about Vague Existance, Save by Telephone for the world wide weird generation addicted to BBs?

Returning to diessection of dessications, how about: GUANO

Golly, now we have a maverick and a cowboy, so all we need
for a rodeo would be bull--oh, never mind, we have plenty of that!

Mav, when you said you were a BB virgin, I was looking for
an A and an L to be added on to your acronym of VEST !

A g-string? (She said, returning to the gutter.)
Ooh, can we see?

Surely not Telephone? They'll all be on the web and totally impossible to get through to...

How about Generally Electronic Exchange of Knowledge?
