A typo just gave me another new sniglet:
Celebrage: What Los Angeles and Detroit sports fans do after their team wins a championship game.I will now take the extraordinarily pretentious step of releasing this new Sniglet, which could also earn me millions of dollars and buy me a mansion and a yacht, under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.5 License, with a badge and everything.

Listed below are links to weblogs that reference yet another sniglet:
These are the stories Wil loves to tell, because they are the closest to his heart: stories about being a huge geek, passing his geeky hobbies and values along to his own children, and vividly painting what it meant to grow up in the ’70s and come of age in the ’80s as part of the video game/D&D/BBS/Star Wars figures generation.

This is off topic
but have you considered doing vlog ?
Posted by: Iceriver | April 09, 2007 at 09:23 PM
Yep. I considered it, decided that I couldn't be half as entertaining or hawesome as Nickerson, and retired the idea to the cornfield.

Nice Elmer J. Fudd reference...from back in the day.

So why the CC 2.5 license over the 3.0?

Thank you for this wonderful gift. I say we all stop by Wil's and celebrage tonight.

I've heard that term before referring to the debris that is left over after a large celebration.
I'm just sayin'.

Poker Prof: I'm lazy, and just cut-n-pasted the license from my last made up sniglet entry.

Hey Wil, this has nothing to do with your post (which I found entertaining, needless to say), but I was wondering... do you have to pay for The Onion?
I live in Dane County, Wisconsin - the county in which UW-Madison is found, which is where The Onion was started back in '88 - and it's free around here, just stacked in newspaper racks all over the place. Incidentally, they disappear pretty quickly, so it can sometimes be difficult to procure a copy.
Anyway, I was just curious.....

I love when I come up with sniglets. I really like yours, and the WB reference.
Here are a couple of my latest:
Emotronica- It is what I use to describe the sappy electronica stuff a coworker
listens to. I think it is along the Gabriel & Dresden vein, but not sure of it. I just know it sounds like a mix between emo and electronica.
Predjucated- a prejudice based on knowledge and experience.
insert creative commons image here. (tried using [img src=""](with the chevrons, not brackets) but doesn't look like it is allowed in comments.
Stealing your link ;-)

See, now I gotta be "that guy." Thanks.
Detroit sports fans get a bad rep from ONE out of control celebration that took place almost 25 years ago. Since then, we've won multiple basketball championships (with the Pistons before and after the booked for the suburbs), three (soon to be four. maybe. I hope.) Stanley Cups in a city where that means something, plus an AL Championship. And do I need to mention our WNBA title? Hmmm? All without a freakin' riot.
Yeah, MSU got out of hand a few years ago after the NCAA basketball tourney, but East Lansing ain't Detroit. Not even close.
See Wil? you turned me into that guy. I didn't want to be that guy but you forced my hand. What the hell, man? You used to be cool.

I remember sniglets from way back. I had the books of them at one time. This link has a very extensive list.
