Ichor

ICHOR, n. A fluid that serves the gods and goddesses in place of blood.
Fair Venus, speared by diomed,
Restrained the raging chief and said:
"Behold, rash mortal, whom you've bled-
Your soul's stained white with ichorshed!"
Mary Doke
2009 Update: A humor for which humanity's bilious disposition and melancholy nature have rendered us too dry a host, leaving only he who waxed most prideful ichorous.

  1. Icarus was a discussion topic over the weekend. Waxing politic?

  2. Ichor: a word that Spell Check rejects. But I don't care. I like it anyway.

  4. Dodger fans bleed Dodger blue; Angel fans ooze ichor.

  5. I shouldn't comment first, ever. I forgot which blog I was at. Nobody pays attention to Krauthammer around here.

    (And the Yankees are the best team in baseball. They ooze 2009 World Series Championship).

  6. iCHOR, n. The lifeblood of e-commerce.

    The Yankees are the best team that extortion can buy. Their days (and those of their criminal compatriots) are numbered. Or ours are.

  11. Ichor - the stuff that comes out of monsters -usually it is black. Stephen King writes about it sometimes.

  12. "So it's really beer then?"

    Nah, I've tried tasting mine, when I've cut myself in the past. It really tasted more like Enzo Boglietti Dolcetto d'Alba Tiglineri 2003.

  14. Karen, politics is best left unwaxed.

    Lily, I don't see how you write your books without it.

    And when is that, Pia?

    Clever, TLP.

    They ooze, Karen. I'm with you there.

    Amoeba, we aren't doomed, but it feels that way reading the sports page.

    Maybe, Icy. Why would someone choke a chicken?

    Bear, because I know you I will trust that while I have no idea what Monika's dress has to do with anything, the meaning is good natured.

    I'd have to think so, Poobah, yeah.

    Well, or that, Karen. But for me, I'm with Poobah.

    True, Terry. So does Lovecraft. Usually sticky and black.

    Haha, Cooper. Do you donate by the carafe?

    Minka, I'll trust you for now, although I look forward to a second try at Prague.
