- The Clintoncy begins, and blomberg is our on-site reporter for what he
- terms "America's reunion." (Rashmi and Anjani are also there for some
- events.) Wordslers evaluate the various performers and pick at Angelou's
- inaugural poem. Tushar pays doubly ironic tribute to Natalie by compiling
- her Greatest Quotes; he also publicly confesses to a grave affliction and
- starts a therapeutic program to acquire a sense of humo(u)r. abh designs
- a new t-shirt and infiltrates Project-H. A slew of one-shot new posters:
- Mark M. Woodward (Vanderbilt), Colin Johnson and Michael Kwun (U. Michigan),
- Jeff Kellem (Beyond Dreams), Arvid Sponberg (Valpo), the mysterious wwcem114
- @sivm (Graham Toal Emergency Self-Absorption System), the lovely lass Sue
- Vanderlul. Several Wordslers are on sabbatical or in semi-retirement:
- Steve, Marty, Neal, Peter (weekend access only); even Gilbert is somewhat
- subdued. Words: 'impetrate', 'shark' (fish named for the person?), 'take
- the Kings shilling', 'coprolite', 'ampallang' (and other piercings), 'Asians
- and Indians'. Best pun of the week is from the long absent Chris Schmidt:
- "Can't you just let bhagwans be bhagwans?"
