Or Else the WatchTower!

Post by ussusimiel »

I'm thinking of starting a kind of Watch newsletter thread. It'll be a sort of collection point for the 'Trending on the Watch...' thread (Orlion has suggested stickying it later on).

I'm looking for a catchy name for the newsletter. 'The WatchTower' would be a good one but for obvious reasons. 'On the Watch', would be another (if not very exciting).

It could also be some sort of Chrons-related name: 'Nom's News!', 'Kresh Mail', 'Esmer's Doings', 'Stop by and Smell the Aliantha!', 'The Land's Herald', 'The Haruchai Times'.

You people are clever. Any suggestion?

Either you are making a joke or you might be from a foreign country :wink:

The Watchtower is the Jehovah Witness magazine that the witnesses try to inflict on you every Sunday.

it's a huge thing in Brooklyn.

You, apparently.

Code: Select all

From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 :


  Sapor \Sa"por\, n. [L. See Savor.]
     Power of affecting the organs of taste; savor; flavor; taste.
     [1913 Webster]
  
           There is some sapor in all aliments.     --Sir T.
                                                    Browne.
     [1913 Webster]

I should have guessed this would happen. Two plants in the same car...now there's a new explanation to my intensified pollen allergies!

Not bad, Rob!

Suggests 'Kevin's Word' to me, which I also like :lol:

Or 'The One Word of Truth'.

And now I have All Along the Watchtower stuck in my head.

Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing
Is there no world for tomorrow, if we wait for today?
