Gawker

With my vocabulary skills, you'll be lucky to get enough for a fatty tuna roll.

Does this mean some poor guy has to count out rice ten grains at a time?

Are the people workig on this tempted to get shooting, just because its got more of an instant gratification thing, as opposed to the grain-counting?

I'm too scared to go to the site.

this is like the hangman website i'm building for texan prisoners.

If they'll drop Condoleezza out of a plane, I'm in.

Yeah, and if you forward this comment to ten friends, the Coca-Cola company will send you free Coca-Cola for the next year. Don't ask me how it works; it just does!

This is just like the time I masturbated and all those kittens got hit by cars.

@ehkca: No. I actually emailed them about this, and there's an ISO for grains of rice per kilo, which is what they use to determine the size of the donations.

Also, I am Queen Dork of that site. I wish they had a thing where you could enter your initials after a spectacular run, like I used to do on the Ms. Pac-Man at the pizzeria when I was a kid.

@ehkca:
You might think so, but he gets paid per grain in Malaysian sex slaves, so he turns out to be a rich, rich man indeed.

@LolCait: HA

@VenusCloacina:
So... you're bragging about your vocabulary or your philanthropy? I wasn't clear...

And I just did like twenty words and knew them all. Unimpressed.

@rod: but i ate for the first time in 2 years! thank you kind white man!

@Trampoline: I think I'm bragging about my obsessive-compulsive tendencies. LET ME SHOW YOU THEM.

(Like it surprises anybody here!)

@collegecallgirl: hahaha!!

I knew my habit of dropping the word "synecdoche" into every conversation was secretly saving the world. Narcissism validated!

@collegecallgirl: Are you sure it wasn't God? Or Tony Danza?

@VenusCloacina: I felt that way about knowing "methelin." Thank you, dork novels!

"metheglin." Ugh. No thank you!

Ten grains per word? Oh well... I guess world hunger can wait a few more decades to be solved.

@emily: I was pleased because I'm finally seeing dividends from when I studied for the GRE.

@VenusCloacina:
Your OC tendencies have been - and continue to be - a source of great Gawkertainment for myself and so many others... so please carry on!

Good grief! what is on this site that my firewall blocks it?! Apparently I work for the vocabulary nazis... no rice for me.

@collegecallgirl: This is why you don't touch yourself and drive. Unless it's an automatic.

Never underestimate a liberal in a bad mood with a copy of the OED. I just bankrupted Uncle Ben and gave all of Indonesia scurvy.

@jobbotch: I suck: I had to look up that word.
At first, I thought it was a new Gawker-speak/ Catch-phrase for "Syndicated Douchebag" or something.

@KarenUhOh:
sad - they would have enjoyed the rijstaffel

@emily: Methelin is the delicious beverage made from fermenting crank! You could beat Drizzt Do'Urden into a bloody pulp with some of that.

@MyCubeHas3Sides: It should be!!

@VenusCloacina: Does this mean there's a level above 45?

It's so fun! It's like studying for SAT analogies all over again!

I'm taking the GRE in two weeks - this is super useful to me! Thanks for being so servicey!

@jobbotch: Yeah, right?
Who would qualify as a Syndicated Douchebag?

Dick Cheney and George Bush (obvs.)

*can't think, drawing blank...must go out drinking now!*

I got the word "devastate" correct, then saw that 10 grains of rice were being donated as a result. I felt that 10 grains was a good stopping point, so as to truly let the meaning of the word sink in.

Who knew there were so many words that mean "goat-like"? I had it come up twice.

If I can spell "complete protein" will they throw in a handful of beans?

@furious_george: Oh god that's cruel

@TedSez: Nope. I CAN HAZ KWASHIORKOR?
