@IanJ: You know what is interesting? "Lignje" is the Bosnian word for calamari, which as far as I know is not particularly woody or treelike.

@Tommmcatt doesn’t mind if he doesn’t make the scene: this should work. @SanFranLefty: Yeah, it was close but I felt like Frazier out there. I got tired toward the end, and the body blows kept coming until you finished me off.

I was proud of my tired brain today, for remembering that “ligneous” really is a word, and really does mean woody or treelike. Life is so random sometimes.

@Nabisco: I hardly trounced you - 41 points was the margin and we were going back and forth the whole game. To save anyone the effort of looking it up on dictionary.com, azan is the Muslim call to prayer.

@nojo: I think the word may be transformation rather than revolution or civil war. What if they had an azan*, and nobody came? *One of the high-scoring words Lefty deployed to trounce me in the final plays of ~~Scrabble~~wordscraper.

@Tommmcatt doesn’t mind if he doesn’t make the scene:

That’s for sure.

But what the talkers, especially Mr. Cowlick there, seem to be saying is that there is considerable internal turmoil.

This is just the superficial stuff. Inside, its roiling.

@Benedick: Back in the day, we'd call that the bumper-sticker version. I guess now we'll call it the Twitter version.

@Tommmcatt doesn’t mind if he doesn’t make the scene: I keep forgetting to mention that civil war is as much an option as revolution. These things don't turn out tidy.
