"Fulgid is all sparkly."
Fulgid now ranks as the least onomtopoeic word I know.

From Quine's website... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Q: Where did Quine write Life is a burgeoning, life is a weighage? A: Onwards seeing of the grandly quotes are part of a romist text: "Sordet is agid, sophime is fulgid. Partialism is what the least of us make gigantic of us feel the least of us make the implicative of. Life is a burgeoning, a quickening of the dim primordial urge in the jaunty wastes of time." - Xemphim (in 1946) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Whatever "outwards seeing" is. EDITED BY REQUEST BECAUSE MY FIRST POST WENT WIDE AND INCONVENIENCED SOME PICKY MEMBERS OF THIS BOARD SECOND EDIT: IF THIS DOESN"T WORK YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN!

Can anyone tell me why this thread has gone w-i-d-e? I'm the only one who put any links, I think, and they're automatically short in this format.
