A strategic plan for saving WOD
 

After some vicious criticism that almost brought me to tears (yes I�m man enough to admit I cry sometimes), I�ve come up with a few suggestions to keep the WOD of the day going. I think that it should be mandatory (thanks for the suggestion Mariethe). In the FAQ it should state that if you post a ws you have to also post a daffynition for the WOD. Newbies (anyone with less than 1204 points) are obliged to post a daffytion. If you have a question (need help) you have to post a daffynition for every question or �doubt� you have. If you get at least one satisfactory reply to your query, you have to post a daffynition. If you answer someone�s question, since you are so smart, you have to post a daffynition. If think about criticizing me, one daffynition.  If you feel compelled to criticize me on the forum , two daffynitions please. If you whine about my suggestions, three daffynitions. BTW my computer is equipped with a whine detector and it is set a to a very low tolerance. As I mentioned earlier, if you post a cute picture of a cat or kitten, three daffynitions. If you have a cute picture of a cat as an avatar, that�s four daffynitions. If you have any other suggestions please post them� along with your daffynitions. If you think of a suggestion but don�t post it it�ll cost you one daffynition nevertheless. If you are reading this, that�s right, one daffynition. If any of this has made you think, chuckle or pissed you off... one daffynition please. Ed

That �s your own opinion Liz - you really can �t speak on behalf of everyone here.
I think the reason why the game goes slower is because many here are on summer holiday.

Brilliant Ed

I don �t usually participate, cause I �m not that bright getting good daffynitions, but I like reading most of them .

Anyway, I think you are about to start a new problem. This way, you �ll get a daffynictionary very soon and, it will be your duty to publish it.
Think about it.  LOL

You are terrific Ed ! This is my ..... nition of YOU!
I love your sense of humour and your facility to use the language. I would never dream of "competing" with you! In fact , I think( By doing so  I will have to add a definition to WOD!)it is the " competition" business I don �t like! When I suggested the brilliant thread you started some time ago, and I see all the answers it got, I feel it is fairer to everyone as one can express oneself without thinking: Am I being smart, humourous, witty enough? And there is no winner! If we are not witty, we will never know:!!!!LOL
And does it have to be turned into a game for us to enjoy and laugh? Am not sure!Smile

Here is the thread I mentionned:

or this one here:

Warm regards! Don�t cry: Embarrassed

of course is my OWN opinion, i didnt say anywhere on my post that it was everybody else �s opinion- i am not speaking on behalf of anyone here, just as you can �t either, i said is because is boring, you said is because of the summer, both are opinions and besides i was talking TO ED as a personal joke. chill out!!  Hug

So funny, Ed! I really enjoyed reading your post a lot. Now l �ll have to submit a daffynition for chuckling? Fair enough! LOL

Well, like Linda above, I don �t participate in WOD, nor do I always have the time to read all the funny posts, but I find these threads both entertaining and educating. I often marvel at the wit and the sense of humour of many members here.

I don �t know whether WOD will continue or not but I �m sure ESLprintables members � creativity will always find a way or another to express itself.

I don �t participate in the WOD contest but I read the dayffinitions almost every day and I find them funny and witty. If the WOD dies, I will really miss it! Cry

It makes me laugh; it cheers me up when I �ve had a tough day; it gives me ideas for the lessons,...
Is it a dayffinition or a prozacnition?
