DNTW (Definitely not the Wiki)
Find everything from the Abject Dictionary to Quotations and Recipes, and a lot in between. All entries are mine (whether original, begged, borrowed, or stolen), and reader beware, there is no guarantee as to accuracy or that slippery eyed devil, truth. You’ve got those authoritative tools Google and Wiki, look it up yourself if you’re so damned concerned. This is for fun, and a lifetime project. I will consider allowing people whose first names start Vic to contribute, but offer no opportunity for corrections or interactivity. Send me an email if you must, and I might publish some of the most cranky or ridiculous ones for all to enjoy.
