Remember those annoying little electronic "pets" circa 1993? You know the ones: Tamagatchis a.k.a Gigapets that you had to make sure they got their electronic food, water, etc. so they wouldn't die? I never actually had a Gigapet, but everyone who did was so concerned that they were taken care of because if your Gigapet died - well, what would people think?
Having a blog is not quite so irritating since there is much less beeping, but having a blog does require constant attention, if only to make sure there are no shockingly lude inappropriate comments from spammers.
lude
n. Slang - A pill or tablet containing methaqualone.
Yeah, I guess that word does not mean what I thought it meant. As I wrote the post, I was thinking that was a weird word - wondering if it even was a word. I guess I should have followed my instincts and looked it up.
Is lude not a word? (Other than a drug?) What word am I thinking of??

Posted by: Christin at September 9, 2005 10:36 AMHey, I had a tmagachi and I loved that little thing. One time I left it home from work and when I got home it had died because it had filled up its cage with waste. Fortunately they came with instructions on how to flush them down the toilet when they died.
