This is a fan vote thing, so I'd like to thank my fans. You know who you are. In fact, I think you all know each other.

Finding a better word for a joke:

I have a new joke with the word "war," but the word "war" doesn't fit the pacing, and isn't quite what I mean. It also rhymes with another line.

So I use Wikitionary's "What links here" link for the word "war."

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Special:Whatlinkshere/war

From this I get "pillage," a much closer word to what I mean, paces better, and doesn't rhyme.

This resource is my new thesaurus, because it includes associations that are different forms of speech whereas most old-school thesauri stick with the same form of speech as the referenced word.

Discuss.

Tried punctuating my speech with my hips last night. It seems to keep me in the moment, keeps me dancing to the music of my words.
